Has Pedro Pascal Won an Emmy Award Before? Can He Win One at the 2025 Ceremony?

Published 09/12/2025, 7:59 AM EDT

Pedro Pascal has become one of television's most recognizable faces of the contemporary era with his acclaimed performances spanning from the epic battles of Game of Thrones to the space-bound adventures of The Mandalorian. In recent years, his turn as Joel in HBO’s The Last of Us has also added to his small-screen portfolio, cementing his reputation as both a fan favorite and a critical darling. With all of it, though, has the actor won an Emmy Award yet, or is that feather still missing from his cap?

With the 2025 Emmy Awards approaching, the question has taken on a new life, especially with Pascal nominated in a major category this year.

Pedro Pascal has received four Primetime Emmy nominations to date according to the Television Academy in categories including Lead Actor in a Drama Series for The Last of Us, Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for SNL, Outstanding Narrator for Patagonia: Life on the Edge of the World, and yet again this year for Lead Actor in a Drama Series for The Last of Us. While Pedro Pascal has not won an Emmy yet, in 2025 he stands once more among the most credible nominees, giving him a shot not only to finally win but to make history with his first Emmy triumph.

About the history-making chance, if Pedro Pascal secures the award he is nominated for, it would etch his name into Television Academy history as the first Latino actor to ever claim the statuette in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category. Essentially, Pascal, who has faced a tough time in Tinseltown recently, as some may argue, is set to carry not only himself to the Emmy stage this time but also the pride of his roots, potentially opening doors for greater representation in television’s highest honors. When are the 2025 Emmy Awards taking place, though?

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, set for September 14, promise more than just glitz as they stand to reshape the history books. Besides Pedro Pascal, Bowen Yang’s SNL nomination positions him to become the first actor of Asian descent to win Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Colman Domingo, recognized for Four Seasons, could break barriers as the first Afro-Latino in his category. Meanwhile, 15-year-old Owen Cooper from Adolescence stands on the brink of a youth-driven record by potentially becoming the youngest male actor ever to claim an Emmy.
