It’s fair to say not many people expected Pedro Pascal to take home the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Male Actor in a Drama Series, including Pascal himself. Succession had been the favorite, taking home multiple awards in the category already. Kieran Culkin won the Critics Choice Award, Emmy Award and Golden Globe for his portrayal of Roman Roy in the HBO drama’s final season.

So when Phil Dunster and Storm Reid called Pascal’s name for his work on HBO’s The Last of Us, the charismatic actor was clearly stunned.
Pascal started his speech with a quip about being a bit tipsy, not having planned on taking the stage at any point. “I’m a little drunk,” he said. “Uhhh, I thought I could get drunk.”
His joy at winning his first SAG was palpable, and he closed by saying, “I’m gonna have a panic attack and leave.” Perfect speech.
