I’m glad that The Mandalorian’s unique situation with Pedro Pascal allowed for that to happen.
All that said, it’s important to note that Pedro Pascal was not actually nominated for a Golden Globe award.
As it turns out, Pascal had to get seven stitches while filming the one episode where he has to remove his helmet.
The HFPA was simply acknowledging that, under the rules, he could have been nominated for an acting award because he did, however briefly, show his face onscreen.
