Pedro Pascal won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series Award for his performance as Joel in The Last of Us at the The 30th Annual SAG Awards, and while the focus is more on him having a drink or three rather than deserving the award for his acting talent, here’s his acceptance speech which admittedly is an absolute treat.
Pedro Pascal won the SAG Award for male actor in a drama series thanks to his role on HBO’s “The Last of Us,” but he wasn’t exactly sober when he took the stage to give his acceptance speech. The actor admitted he thought he could get drunk, likely because he didn’t think he would win the SAG Award after “Succession’s” Kieran Culkin won the same category at the Golden Globes and Emmy Awards earlier this year.
“This is wrong for so many reasons,” Pascal told the audience. “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 f****** honor. To the nominees, all of you, I can’t remember any of your names right now.”
Congratulations Pedro. We’ll discuss this and the potential effect this could have on The Mandalorian movie in our next studio episode of Making Tracks.
