A new Golden Globes drama king has been crowned!
Succession stars Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong faced off against Gary Oldman for Slow Horses, Pedro Pascal for The Last of Us and Dominic West for The Crown in the best actor in a drama series category at the 2024 Golden Globes. Culkin, 41, ultimately won.
In his acceptance speech, Culkin said, “I was nominated for a Golden Globe 20 years ago, and when that moment passed I sort of remember thinking I’m never going to be back in this room again. Which, was fine. Whatever. But thanks to Succession, I’ve been in here a couple of times, which is nice. But I sort of accepted I’m never going to be on stage, so this is a nice moment, thank you.”
He then quipped, “Suck it, Pedro. Mine!” The camera cut to Pascal in the audience, who laughed.
“Really quickly, I’d just like to thank everybody in Succession. Jesse, our writers, the amazing cast. Everybody that showed up and believed in this thing and that it was very cool,” the star continued. “This isn’t mine, this is one for the team.”
Culkin also thanked “three amazing women in my life” and said, “My manager Emily Gerson Saines, for whom I wouldn’t have a career. My wife Jaz for putting up with this and all the s— that comes with it. And my wonderful mom. Mom, thank you for doing everything you’ve done for us. You’re an amazing woman.”
