Two A-list stars have become the talk of Sunday’s SAG Awards after their shocking acceptance speeches.
The first of the night was Pedro Pascal, who was a surprise winner of the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series accolade for his work on The Last of Us, declaring his Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award win to be “wrong”.
The 48-year-old star admitted he thought he’d be able to “get drunk” without having to go on stage at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium because he expected one of his fellow nominees — Succession’s Kieran Culkin, Matthew Macfadyen, and Brian Cox, or The Morning Show’s Billy Crudup — to win.

Getting emotional, the actor said: “This is wrong for a number of reasons. I’m a little drunk, I thought I could get drunk and thank you HBO. Jeez Louise, I’m making a fool of myself but thank you so much for this. I’ve been in the union since 1999 so it’s an incredible f***ing honour. To the nominees, all of you, I can’t remember any of your names right now.”
