"I think it was necessary because we only get that scene to establish their relationship. It is a very obvious moment but I think it does it in quite a beautiful way." The film received mixed reviews, but was a box office success, grossing over US$450 million. In 2007, she also appeared as the stuffy Miss Dickinson in the sixth release of the "St. Trinian's" film series. Headey starred as Fembot in Austin Powers, as well as Sarah Connor in Fox's "", a television spin-off of James Cameron's popular "Terminator" franchise. The show ran for 31 episodes in two seasons, from January 2008 to April 2009. "Variety" praised "Headey's gritty performance as Sarah —managing to be smart, resourceful and tough, yet melancholy and vulnerable as well". For her performance, she was nominated twice for the Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television. In 2008, she starred alongside Matthias Schweighöfer and Joseph Fiennes in "The Red Baron", a biographical film of the legendary World War I fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, appeared in Ridley Scott-produced sci-fi drama "Tell-Tale", a film based on the short story by Edgar Allan Poe, and played a radiologist in the horror film "The Broken", which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. While the three aforementioned films went largely unnoticed by audiences, some critics praised Headey's performance in "The Broken", including Kim Koynar, of "Cinematical", who wrote that Headey "largely carries the film, and does so quite ably". In 2009, Headey played an ill-fated character in the slasher film "Laid to Rest", which received a DVD release, had a part in a short film titled "The Devil's Wedding", and also provided her voice for an episode of the Cartoon Network series "The Super Hero Squad Show", playing Black Widow and Mystique. She briefly appeared in the independent comedy "Pete Smalls Is Dead" (2010). Beginning in April 2011, Headey portrayed queen regent Cersei Lannister on the HBO series "Game of Thrones", based on George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of novels. She was cast in the role after her friend and eventual co-star, Peter Dinklage, suggested her casting to producers. Her performance as the ruthless queen has received critical acclaim, earning a Scream Award nomination for Best Fantasy Actress for the role in 2011 and Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2018.
