Pascal: ‘Drunk’ During SAG Awards Acceptance Speech: ‘I Thought I Could Get Drunk! I’m Making a Fool of Myself’
But he wasn’t exactly sober when he took the stage for 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 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 fucking honor. To the nominees, all of you, I can’t remember any of your names right now.”
This year’s other SAG Award nominees for male actor in a drama series were Culkin, Brian Cox (“Succession”), Billy Crudup (“The Morning Show”) and Matthew Macfadyen (“Succession”
Whether he’s won or not, Pascal has been creating one viral awards show moment after the next this season.
He joked at the 2023 Emmys that a recent shoulder injury was because “Keiran Culkan beat the shit out of me.” Pascal attended the event in an arm sling.
Pascal said backstage that he was going to “make out” with Culkin as his revenge. “He is the greatest,” Pascal added. The actor also said he did not remember what he said during his acceptance speech.
