Joel, played by SAG Award-winnerPedro Pascal, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone.

Pedro Pascal Earns First-Ever SAG Awards Win for “The Last of Us”

Pedro Pascal has broken the succession plan…

The 48-year-old Chilean actor has claimed his first-ever SAG Award, breaking the winning streak of Succession’s Kieran Culkin.

Pedro PascalPascal took home the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series award for his performance in HBO‘s The Last of Us during Sunday’s SAG Awards. This awards season, Culkin had previously beat out Pascal at the Primetime Emmys and Golden Globes.

“This is wrong, for a number of reasons. Umm, I’m a little drunk. I thought I could get drunk,” he said on stage while accepting the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series for his role in “The Last of Us.”

“Uh, geez Louise, I’m making a fool of myself. But thank you so much for this!” he emotionally exclaimed.

The Narcos actor called the award an “incredible f–king honor” and he intended to thank his fellow nominees, but he could “not remember any of your names right now.”

Pascal began to thank his family who “may be watching” at home, but he briefly paused when his voice cracked and he began to get even more emotional.

“I’m going to have a panic attack, and I’m going to leave,” he concluded before walking off the stage amid the crowd applause.

Meanwhile, Jose Cervantes Jr., Liza Colón-Zayas and Richard Esteras earned the first SAG Awards of their careers alongside their The Bear cast mates, claiming the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Cervantes stars as Angel; Colon-Zayas stars as Tina; and Esteras stars as Manny on the acclaimed series.

The 30th annual SAG Awards took place across a live streaming ceremony — the awards body’s first-ever live show to debut on Netflix‘s main platform, following a decades-long broadcast partnership with TNT and TBS that ended in 2022.

Here’s the full list of 2024 SAG Awards winners in both the film and television:

Selena Gomez Starring as Linda Ronstadt in Biopic Based on the Singer’s “Simple Dreams” Memoir

Posted on by

Selena Gomez is heading to the Blue Bayou…

The 31-year-old Mexican American actress/singer will portray Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic based on the superstar singer’s 2013 memoir Simple Dreams.

Selena GomezGomez, who stars in and executive produces Hulu’s The Only Murders In The Building, gave credence to the months-old internet rumors about the project by posting a photo of the memoir as an Instagram Story. Rolling Stone later confirmed the casting.

In pre-production, the film is being co-produced by James Keach and Ronstadt’s longtime manager John Boylan.

Additional casting and release date have not been announced.

An unconfirmed report of Gomez’s involvement in the biopic surfaced last July, but the IG Story today moved the possibility into the definite.

Keach directed the 2020 film Linda and the Mockingbirds, a documentary chronicling a road trip undertaken by Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and a group of younger musicians to the Mexican town of Banámichi in the state of Sonora, the birthplace of Ronstadt’s grandfather.

Linda Ronstadt Heart Like a WheelLike Gomez, who has had a successful music and acting career, Ronstadt is of Mexican descent. Ronstadt wrote at length about her heritage in the 2013 memoir. The singer returned to the subject in the 2022 book Feels Like Home: A Song for the Sonoran Borderlands.

Despite her 2012 retirement following a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease – the diagnosis was revised seven years later to progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative disease similar to Parkinson’s that has left Ronstadt unable to sing – Ronstadt and her music have returned to the spotlight in recent months. Last year her 1970 recording of “Long Long Time” was featured prominently in an episode of The Last of Us, and trailers for Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans make heavy use of Ronstadt’s smash 1974 hit “You’re No Good.”

The 2019 documentary Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice, directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, offered an in-depth retrospective of her life and career, featuring on-screen appearances by and interviews with Ronstadt and her many musical friends and colleagues, including Browne, Ry Cooder, Emmylou Harris, Don Henley, Kevin Kline, Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt and J.D. Souther.

If even a fraction of the many rockers and celebrities who’ve crossed paths with Ronstadt over the years make it into the biopic as characters, Hollywood will be very busy in coming months with actors vying for plum roles.
