In a surprising move, Kieran Culkin failed to mention his brother, Macaulay Culkin, during his acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor at the 2025 Oscars. The snub has left many fans and viewers wondering about the sibling dynamics between the two actors.

Kieran Culkin, known for his roles in films like “Igby Goes Down” and “Succession,” took home the coveted award for his outstanding performance in a supporting role. As he stepped onto the stage to accept his Oscar, many expected him to express gratitude towards his family, including his brother Macaulay, who is also an actor.

However, in his speech, Kieran Culkin chose to focus on thanking his colleagues, the film’s crew, and his wife, Jazz Charton. While he did mention his family in passing, Macaulay’s name was noticeably absent from the list of people he thanked.

This omission has sparked speculation about the relationship between the two brothers. While they have both been involved in the entertainment industry for many years, they have rarely spoken publicly about their relationship or collaborated on projects together.

Macaulay Culkin, known for his iconic role as Kevin McCallister in the “Home Alone” franchise, has been relatively quiet about his personal life in recent years. It is unclear whether the brothers are close or if there is any tension between them.

Despite the snub, Kieran Culkin’s Oscar win is a significant achievement, and his speech was met with applause and congratulations from the audience. However, the absence of Macaulay’s name from his speech has left many fans curious about the sibling dynamics between the two actors.
