Kieran Culkin’s big win at the Golden Globes had a special mention for Pedro Pascal! The ultimate carnival of celebrating stories and cinema was held at Beverly Hilton this Sunday. The gaming fans had their eyes set on HBO’s Naughty Dog adaptation of The Last of Us into a TV series. However, the nominations did promise a close contest. Although Pedro Pascal couldn’t make it to the crown, his name surely did, and how? 

The Last of Us TV show was nominated in three categories for the 81st Golden Globe Awards. While the show made its case for the Best Drama Series, both the leads Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey made it to the Best Actor nominations for the male and female categories respectively. Finally, it was time for the ‘moment of truth’. Unfortunately for the TLOU fans, Succession emerged as the winner in all three categories! Golden Globes’ Best Actor in a Drama Series immediately had a message for Pedro Pascal, and here’s what it was. 

Succession dominates the Golden Globes night, an edge over The Last of Us! 

Kieran Culkin after being announced as The Best Actor Male (Drama Series) came up with a hilarious award acceptance speech. “Thanks to you Succession. I’ve been here a couple of times but I thought I was never going to be on this stage. This is a nice moment. S*ck it, Pedro. Sorry, It’s mine,” the actor said, accepting his first Golden Globe Award. And we see HBO’s Joel bursting into laughter in response! 

Talking about the Best Actor Television Drama Male category, the nominations were: Brian Cox: Succession, Kieran Culkin: Succession, Gary Oldman: Slow Horses, Pedro Pascal: The Last of Us, Jeremy Strong: Succession, Dominic West: The Crown. Of course, the gaming fans had their bets all set on Pedro Pascal. The case for his win looked strong considering the critical reception to his performance in the drama. But it was Kieran Culkin and Succession’s night after all! 

To all the TLOU fans, don’t let your hopes down. Mind you, the highly-awaited Emmy Awards are just around the corner! With 24 nominations in various categories, The Last of Us TV series would surely be adding some feathers to its cap. This includes both Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal being nominated for The Best Actor category.
