New Jersey's own Peter Dinklage was the winner of the best drama series supporting actor Emmy Award Monday night for his role on "Game of Thrones."

It's the third time Dinklage, who grew up in Mendham Twp. and attended Delbarton, has won an Emmy for playing Tyrion Lannister, the outcast from a noble family who drinks and thinks his way out of trials and tribulations on "Game of Thrones."

He's been nominated for all seven seasons of the HBO medieval fantasy series.
