Over the course of the night, several people who have been cleaning up all awards season walked away with big wins, like Steven Yeun, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Ayo Edebiri, and more.

There were also some first-time winners, and one of them was Pedro Pascal, who walked away with Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series for his work as Joel Miller in The Last of Us Season 1.

Pedro was stunned that he won, beating out Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Matthew Macfadyen, and Billy Crudup for their work in Succession and The Morning Show respectively.

Like, look at his face when Storm Reid, his The Last of Us costar, read his name.

Also, I’m obsessed with Pedro walking up to the stage, stunned, and Jessica Chastain just in awe and clapping for him.

On stage, Pedro admitted that he was “a little drunk” because he truthfully didn’t think he was going to be up on stage tonight.

He was literally at a loss for words, but then screamed his excitement, which was so sweet.

Kieran, who has had a hilarious playful “feud” with Pedro all awards season, was so happy for his friend.

Pedro continued his speech by saying he’s been in the SAG-AFTRA union since 1999, and he took advantage of the show being on Netflix by swearing. He also joked he couldn’t remember his fellow nominees’ names right now.

Then, as Pedro thanked his family, his voice started to quiver and he got emotional over this monumental honor given to him by his acting peers.

And, in amazing Pedro fashion, he ended his speech with this:

he says, i'm gonna have a panic attack and i'm gonna leaveNetflix

Pedro was so emotional that he left the envelope that said he’d won on stage, and Steven Yeun delivered it to him backstage after he won his award.

As soon as Pedro won his award, people started sharing their excitement for him, including myself, on X, formerly Twitter, and it’s all super wholesome:
