Kieran Culkin Wins Oscar and Delivers Playful Speech About Family Plans

The actor took home Best Supporting Actor for 'A Real Pain' and humorously reminded his wife of a promise tied to his award victories.

Kieran Culkin won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'A Real Pain,' solidifying his status as a frontrunner after victories at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and SAG Awards.
During his acceptance speech, Culkin humorously referenced a promise his wife, Jazz Charton, made to expand their family if he won an Oscar.
Culkin's speech included an anecdote about a similar promise made after his 2024 Emmy win, which led to lighthearted moments in the audience as Charton confirmed the story on camera.
The actor also praised fellow nominee Jeremy Strong and 'A Real Pain' director Jesse Eisenberg, calling the latter a 'genius' for his work on the film.
Culkin's unfiltered speech included an accidental expletive, which was censored during the U.S. broadcast but aired uncensored in other regions.
