Sophie Turner & Laura Carmichael Turn Heads at Arqiva British Academy Television Awards

Sophie Turner waves to the crowd as she arrives at the 2014 Arqiva British Academy Television Awards held at Theatre Royal on Sunday evening (May 18) in London, England.

The 18-year-old Game of Thrones actress was joined on the carpet by Downton Abbey‘s Laura Carmichael.

Recently speaking to TVGuide, Sophie chatted about her character Sansa Stark.

“People don’t like Sansa because she is feminine. It annoys me that people only like the feminine characters when they act like male characters. And they always go on about feminism. Like, you’re rooting for the people who look like boys, who act like boys, who fight like boys. Root for the girls who wear dresses and are intellectually very strong,” she shared.

Sophie added, “That’s why she’s one of the most intelligent characters on the show I think. She adapts so well and she has this thing where she’s probably the greatest actor out of all of them. She deceives with the fa�ade of her former self and that’s what’s great. She never breaks face of this innocent na�ve girl and she’s not that.”
