Kieran Culkin's Big Win and Family Plans
Los Angeles, USAMonday, March 3, 2025
Culkin's win wasn't a sure thing. When production on the final season of "Succession" ran long, he considered dropping out of the film to spend time with his family. Emma Stone, last year's best actress Oscar winner, convinced him to stay on. She reassured him that they could make it work without him, knowing that wasn't necessarily true. He said that it was the moment he got off the phone that he realized he was committed to the movie.
Culkin's acting career started when he was just 7 years old. He played the soda-slurping younger cousin of his older brother Macaulay Culkin's Kevin McCallister in "Home Alone. " His first major award nomination was a Golden Globe nod for the 2002 film "Igby Goes Down. " But it was his turn as Roman Roy on "Succession" nearly two decades later that brought him widespread fandom and acclaim. He won a Golden Globe and Emmy Award for the series' final season.
Culkin's win was a big moment for him, but he also used it as an opportunity to reflect on his career and his personal life. He said that sometimes people will say that he's a lot like the characters he plays. He said that he wasn't until he did it, but he'd like to think that he's a little more together than that. He'd like to think that he's figured some stuff out.
The movie "A Real Pain" was a big deal for Culkin. It was his first Oscar win, and it was a big moment for him. He played Benji, a character who is chaotic but lovable. The movie explores some heavy themes, but it also has a lot of humor. Culkin's performance was a big part of what made the movie work. He brought a lot of energy and sincerity to the role. Culkin's win was a big deal because it was his first Oscar, and it was also a big deal because he had already won a bunch of other awards for the same role.
