“Umm, I’m A Little Drunk”: Pedro Pascal Gives A Drunken Acceptance Speech On SAG Awards Stage
The 2024 SAG Awards concluded in all glory on Sunday with a star-studded audience and glamorous performances. One among the many stars that took a trophy home was Pedro Pascal who won the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series.
It is his acceptance speech that brought a twist to the show. “This is wrong, for a number of reasons. Umm, I’m a little drunk. I could get drunk,” he said on stage while accepting the award for his role in ‘The Last of Us’.
Struggling to maintain composure, Pascal took a few seconds before he emotionally thanked the show’s streaming network, HBO. “Uh, geez Louise, I’m making a fool of myself. But thank you so much for this!” he said.

Pedro Pascal Has A Penchant For Giving Attention Grabbing Speeches
Pedro Pascal called the award an “incredible f–king honor”, and then admitted he couldn’t recall the names of his fellow nominees who he would like to thank. “I could not remember any of your names right now,” he said, drawing a wave of laughter from the audience.
He then turned emotional, thanking his family who “may be watching“, as he briefly paused when his voice cracked. “I’m going to have a panic attack, and I’m going to leave,” he said before walking off the stage amid the crowd applause.
Dressed was dressed in his signature style—a white flowy button-down, black slacks, and black shoes. In conversation with fashion designer Tan France backstage, Pascal confessed to not remembering his speech and joked about checking it out on YouTube later.
“I don’t remember what I said,” Pascal admitted. “I just was very surprised, so let’s YouTube it later.”
This isn’t the first time Pascal’s speeches have grabbed headlines. He had blamed Kieran Culkin for a shoulder injury at the 2024 Emmys, sparking a lighthearted feud between them. “I think tonight is the perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin beat the s–t out of me,” he said last month.
