Culkin’s endorsement puts to rest speculation about the feud they’ve mocked at previous awards shows.
“I was nominated for a Golden Globe 20 years ago, and when that moment passed, I remember thinking, ‘I’m never coming back into this room.’ That was fine, whatever,” Culkin said at the Golden Globes in January. “But thanks Succession, I’ve been here a few times. It’s nice, but I kind of accepted that I would never be on this stage, so this is a nice moment. Suck it, Pedro. Sorry. Mine!”

“I would like to take a moment to tell this about me,” Pascal, whose right arm was in a sling, joked at the time. “A lot of people have asked about my arm. It’s actually my shoulder, and I think tonight is a perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin is beating me.”
Pascal’s injury was actually the result of a fall and had nothing to do with Culkin.
During a conversation with the 40-year-old France, Pascal reiterated on Saturday that there was no lingering bad blood.
‘I’m going to kiss Kieran, that will be my revenge. I did know him [before this awards circuit], he is the best,” Pascal gushed. “I remember years and years ago, I took one of my siblings to FAO Schwarz… and he came up to me and complimented me on my work in this piece.”
He continued: ‘It was great to see him on this show and I feel guilty about not seeing his speech tonight, but he will be fine. But I have to give things a fair amount of balance.
