Kieran Culkin Wins Best Supporting Actor Oscar for 'A Real Pain'

Culkin's performance in Jesse Eisenberg's Holocaust dramedy earned him a clean sweep of major awards this season.

Kieran Culkin won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in 'A Real Pain,' a film about two cousins reconnecting with their Jewish roots in Poland.
This marks Culkin's first Oscar win, completing an awards season sweep that included the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and SAG Awards.
Culkin praised his co-star and fellow nominee Jeremy Strong during his acceptance speech, acknowledging Strong's performance in 'The Apprentice.'
The actor nearly quit the project weeks before filming but was convinced to stay by producer Emma Stone, who emphasized the film's dependence on him.
Culkin humorously referenced a promise from his wife to expand their family if he won an Oscar, adding a personal and lighthearted note to his speech.
