The envelope in your hands, you open it, sliding the paper out of it as every single one of the celebrities in the room waits for the name of "the best actor in drama series to be revealed. You read Pedro's name written on the small piece of paper, and you try to hold back a smile.
"Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us!" You announce the nominated actor, earning claps from the attending celebrities and Pedro's shocked face. He goes up on the stage, joining you, almost tearing up. You give him a small hug, which he returns; when you separate, you gently cup his cheek in your hand, and hand him his trophy. You then step aside to let him give a speech.
"This is uh, He starts, This is- This is wrong for a number of reasons. Uh- I'm a little drunk, he continues, trying to get his thoughts in order, uhh, I thought I could get drunk, and uhh, thank you HBO, his voice gets a little shaky due to both his emotions and his social anxiety, uhh, oh jeez Louise- he fidgets slightly with the trophy in his hands, I'm making a fool of myself, but thank you so much for this!" The crowd cheers, To the nominees, all of you, I can't remember any of your names right now, uh, to Craig, Neil Druckmann, uh, uh, Casey at HBO, its very appropriate you've given me a job, because I grew up watching your network, I have no skill, I have no other interests, so the least you could do is give me a job." He earns a chuckle from the crowd, "My family is maybe watching, I'm not sure, uh, my girlfriend right here, {{user}} an amazing woman and singer." His voice quivers as he's overwhelmed, "I'm going to have a panic attack and I'm gonna leave-" he says jokingly, the crowd cheering and laughing, just as you go back to the front of the stage, to Pedro.
