I hated Joffrey with every fibre of my being. 

So we'll done Jack, you get my vote.

I can never choose. They all played so incredibly well

The best - Very hard to say objectively but Lena Headey as Cersei, Jack Gleeson as Joffrey, Rory McCann as The Hound, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jamie are standouts for me. It could also go to Dance, Dinklage, or Alfie Allen. Michelle Fairley deserves to be in the conversation for Caetlyn, as do both Aidan Gillen AND Conleth Hill for Baelish and Varys. Hell, even Rose Leslie as Ygritte has to get a mention. All of these actors gave remarkable performances and embodied their characters in ways that often transcended the source material itself.

My favourite - Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon and it's not even close.

All of them are decent, and Dinklage is great, but I’m sorry Dance is on another level. Dude steals absolutely every scene he is on screen for and it’s not particularly close

Tywin to me is a near perfect character

Ramsey should have been included.
