On a star-studded night at the Emmys, the audience witnessed a blend of drama, humor, and a touch of mystery, thanks to none other than Pedro Pascal. The acclaimed actor from “The Last of Us” grabbed headlines, not just for his appearance with an arm in a black sling but for a humorous yet censored comment directed at fellow actor Kieran Culkin.
The Incident That Sparked Curiosity
As Pascal took the stage to present the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, he decided to divert the spotlight onto his injured arm. Addressing the audience, he humorously commented, “A lot of people have been asking about my arm. It’s actually my shoulder,” setting a light-hearted tone.
But the real intrigue began when he half-jokingly attempted to reveal how he got injured, saying, “And I think tonight is a perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin beat the sh—,” before being abruptly censored. This unexpected bleep not only sparked curiosity among the audience but also led to a memorable moment as cameras caught Culkin’s surprised reaction.

A Season of Memorable Moments

Host Anthony Anderson added his comedic touch with a joke at Kevin Costner and “Yellowstone’s” expense, further enlivening the ceremony.
Kieran Culkin and Pedro Pascal’s Budding Rivalry

At the Golden Globes, Culkin, accepting the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series, teasingly told Pascal, “Suck it, Pedro. Sorry. Mine!” This light-hearted exchange between the two, coupled with the Emmy incident, showcases a budding, playful rivalry that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide.
