I’m a little drunk. I thought I could get drunk — Pedro Pascal.
A surprised and grateful Pedro Pascal won the Screen Actors Guild Award tonight for his performance on HBO’s smash hit The Last of Us, beating the expected winner — Succession’s Kieran Culkin.
The faux feud between Kieran Culkin and Pedro Pascal started at the Golden Globes, when Culkin won Best Actor in a drama series and ribbed nominee Pascal from the stage:

Suck it Pedro… It’s mine. — Kieran Culkin.
Pascal’s reaction.
And continued at the Critics Choice Awards and Emmys, with Kieran Culkin winning two more trophies for Best Lead Actor in a drama series — in just 10 days.
So Pedro Pascal didn’t expect to win the SAG award tonight and in a backstage interview announced he planned “to make out with Kieran” in revenge for being told to “suck it” at the Golden Globes.
Updated with Pedro Pascal’s thankyous.
Earlier on the red carpet, The Last of Us won for Best Stunt Ensemble. Congratulations to The Last of Us Stunt Coordinator Guy Bews and Assistant Stunt Coordinator Maggie Macdonald.
