It's hard to think of a single scene, a single battle on television, that's been as hotly anticipated as the Battle of the Bastards on Game of Thrones. We first heard about this scene nearly a month ago when Game of Thrones showrunners claimed this could be the biggest fight scene in TV history. Now, according to reports, the battle took 600 crew members, 500 extras, 70 horses, 25 days, and millions of dollars to create. We believe this is going to be goddamn massive.

An accomplishment of this scale could mean even more to this show, though. What if it won awards? In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, actor Liam Cunningham—who plays Davos Seaworth and was there for another massive scene, the Battle of Blackwater Bay—had some glowing things to say about Kit Harington:

I would be very, very surprised if Mr. Harington isn't taking up a statue at the end of this. The amount of stuff I saw Kit doing out there… I think he's blossomed from a young man into this fantastic character that he's playing in this. I said it to him at the time, that his work is beautifully subtle on this. I've watched him from viewing him, and also working with him on this season, just blossoming as an actor… It's going to be jaw-dropping.

Never the most emotive actor, it'd be surprising to see Harington land an Emmy nomination for his acting. But, seeing as Game of Thrones showrunners went absolutely nuts with this scene, maybe Harington completely lost himself in his acting. Maybe he could add an Emmy to his Young Hollywood Award and his Empire Award. We won't know until after the battle at 10 p.m. on Sunday.
