During the 2024 Emmys, Pedro Pascal responded rudely to Kieran Culkin when they were presenting the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Pascal used inappropriate language in his response.

Actor Culkin, who stars in Succession, had previously instructed the Last of Us actor to "suck it" during his acceptance of the Best Actor in a Drama award at the Golden Globes earlier this month.

The teasing remark was mentioned again when Pascal, who was defeated by Culkin at the Globes and was up against him at the Emmys, went up to receive his award at the esteemed television awards ceremony in the wee hours of Tuesday morning (16 January).

Pascal, who is 48 years old, was spotted sporting a bandage around his arm due to a shoulder injury.

To the audience, he stated that there were many questions regarding his arm; however, it was his shoulder that was injured. He went on to reveal that Kieran Culkin was responsible for inflicting severe physical harm upon him.

The occurrence was cut out from the television transmission of the occasion.

The famous actor Culkin, who is 41 years old, was spotted appearing to be upset in a playful way as he looked out from where he was sitting amongst the crowd. However, he eventually couldn't keep up the act and his frown turned into a smile. He was nominated and finally won the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in Succession. During his acceptance speech, Culkin requested his wife if they could have another child. Later, during a press conference backstage, he labeled the public request as being disrespectful.

Throughout most of the drama categories, Succession was favored to win with Culkin expected to receive the Best Actor award for his portrayal of the mischievous Roman Roy. The event continued well into the night.

The TV program, which ended its fourth and ultimate season in May, concentrated on the conflicts for control within a clan of media tycoons.

The Bear, FX's cooking-themed television show, was the clear frontrunner in the comedy divisions. As expected, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach received awards in the supporting actress and actor categories, respectively, while Jeremy Allen White took home the prize for lead actor.

Here's a compilation of all the triumphant individuals from the night.
