Pedro Pascal’s performance in HBO’s “The Last of Us” made him win the SAG Award for male actor in a drama series.The actor acknowledged that he believed he could become intoxicated, probably because he didn’t anticipate winning the SAG Award following “Succession’s” Earlier this year, Kieran Culkin took home the same category’s prize at the Golden Globes and Emmy Awards.
“This is wrong for so many reasons,” “I’m a little drunk. I thought I could get drunk. I’m making a fool of myself but thank you so much for this! I’ve been in the union since 1999 so this is an incredible fucking honor. To the nominees, all of you, I can’t remember any of your names right now.” Pascal told the audience.
No doubt the SAG Awards gave us many iconic moments, but seeing Pedro and Barbara’s award made for a memorable night.
