Macaulay Culkin tuned in to just one moment at Sunday night’s Oscars for a very sweet reason.
The “Home Alone” star revealed that he only watched the Best Supporting Actor category, which his brother Kieran Culkin ended up winning.
“I cried,” Macaulay told Tan France on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. “And I was like, ‘I’m gonna see you later.’”
Macaulay had “absolutely” no doubt in his mind that his brother was going to take home the golden statuette for his performance in “A Real Pain.”
“He was front row, aisle, closest to the stairs,” the actor said. “There was no way he was not going to win.”
Kieran Culkin gave an extremely memorable, very censored acceptance speech at the show. He shouted out his “Succession” co-star Jeremy Strong, who also was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
“I love your work,” Kieran Culkin said to Strong from the stage.
“It’s fucking ―” Kieran Culkin started, before stopping himself. “I fucked [up], I cursed! There we go! I cursed. I didn’t mean to.”
He then pivoted to a story about his wife, Jazz Charton, and harkened to his Emmys win in 2024, when he “very stupidly, publicly said that I want a third kid.”
“She said if I won the award, she would give me the kid,” he said. “It turns out she said that because she didn’t think I was gonna win.”
Charton added at the time that she would give Kieran Culkin “four when you win an Oscar.”
“I held my hand out, she shook it, and I have not brought it up once until just now. You remember that, honey?” Kieran Culkin asked.

When Charton nodded her head yes in the audience, Kieran Culkin quipped, “Then I just have to say to you, Jazz, love of my life, ye of little faith ― no pressure.”
