Kieran Culkin Triumphs Over Pedro Pascal for Golden Globe, Delivers Humorous Speech

Kieran Culkin emerged victorious at the Golden Globe Awards, securing the Best Actor in a Drama Series accolade, a win punctuated by a light-hearted jest towards fellow nominee Pedro Pascal, who has been affectionately dubbed the internet's 'cool, slutty daddy.' The competition was fierce, with Culkin's Succession colleagues Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong, Gary Oldman, and Dominic West also in the running.

Culkin's Comedic Acceptance

Upon receiving his award for his portrayal of Roman Roy in Succession, Culkin began his acceptance speech with a quip, deeming the award night a 'nightmare' and dismissing the standing ovation with a playful demand for the audience to sit. He encountered a bit of indigestion, leading to an impromptu burp and an apology that added a personal and humorous touch to his speech.

First-Time Golden Globe Win

Reflecting on a previous nomination two decades prior, Culkin expressed gratitude for the turn of events that brought him back to the Golden Globe stage, crediting Succession for the renewed recognition. In a playful moment, he addressed Pascal directly, cheekily telling him to 'Suck it,' before proudly claiming his award with a triumphant 'Mine!'

Pascal's Good-Natured Response

Pedro Pascal demonstrated a sporting spirit, joining in the humor by laughing and mock crying in reaction to Culkin's taunt. As his speech neared its end, Culkin hurried to thank the Succession team, especially creator Jesse Armstrong, the writers, and cast. He acknowledged the pivotal women in his life—his manager, wife, and mother—and concluded by dedicating the award to the collaborative efforts of all involved.

Culkin's win and humorous speech were just one highlight of the event. Other memorable moments included Taylor Swift's reaction to a joke at her expense, host Jo Koy's challenging opening monologue, and Jim Gaffigan's controversial humor.
