Kieran Culkin Triumphs at Golden Globes, Playfully Tussles with Pedro Pascal

At the star-studded Golden Globes ceremony, 'Succession' actor Kieran Culkin emerged victorious, claiming the Best Actor in a Drama Series award. The win marked a significant milestone for Culkin, who beat out popular nominee Pedro Pascal—a favorite on the internet often referred to as the 'cool, slutty daddy'—and other distinguished actors in the closely watched category.

A Comedic Acceptance Speech

Culkin's ascent to the stage was laced with humor as he called the celebratory moment a 'nightmare,' urging the audience to resume their seats. Amidst the laughter, he had a candid moment where he acknowledged an 'indigestion' burp, an unplanned hiccup during what was intended to be a dignified acceptance speech. His humility and humor continued as he addressed his wife Jazz Charton, admitting to having 'blown it' by not keeping the speech short as she had advised.

Culkin's Long-Awaited Recognition

This win held particular resonance for Culkin, recalling a previous Golden Globe nomination from two decades prior and his initial feeling that he might never stand on stage as a recipient. Yet, 'Succession' brought him back into the spotlight, and ultimately, onto the stage to accept the prestigious award. His victory speech was peppered with playful rivalry as he told Pascal to 'Suck it,' displaying his award triumphantly. Pascal exhibited good humor in return, mock crying to the crowd's amusement.

After the playful exchange, Culkin quickly shifted to express gratitude toward 'Succession' creator Jesse Armstrong, the show's writing team, and cast, as well as the 'three amazing women' in his life. He concluded by dedicating the award to the collective efforts of all those who contributed to the show's success.
