Pedro Pascal, one of the most popular actors at the moment and best known for his current roles in HBO’s ‘Last of Us’ and Disney+’s ‘The Mandalorian,’ attended the Oscars not only to present an award, also to support someone special in his life, his sister, Javiera Balmaceda.
While Pedro has been in the spotlight a lot lately, his sibling also has a very successful career in the film industry. Javiera is a producer, and while she didn’t receive a nomination, she was part of several projects recognized throughout the awards ceremony. The actor’s sister was among the people responsible for producing the film, ‘Argentina 1985’ - which was nominated for Best International Film.

Balmaceda has made a name for herself in the industry, particularly in her work with Amazon Studios in Latin America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Her notable projects include the bio-series ‘Maradona: Sueño Bendito,’ which tells the story of the iconic Argentinian footballer, as well as other titles for Hispanic audiences like ‘El Presidente’ and ‘La Jauría.’
