Los Angeles, CA - Kieran Culkin wins Best Supporting Actor - and reveals his wife promised him a 4th kid if he won an Oscar! After a rousing introduction from last year's Best Supporting Actor winner Robert Downey Jr., Kieran Culkin was named this year's winner of the category at the 2025 Oscars for his role in A Real Pain. The actor started his speech with a profanity-laden tribute to his Succession costar and fellow nominee Jeremy Strong, telling the actor: "Jeremy, you're amazing." He then thanked his A Real Pain costar and director Jesse Eisenberg, telling him: "Thank you for this movie, you're a genius." Culkin then turned his praise to his wife, Jazz Charton, and recounted a story from a year ago in which she promised him not one, but two more children if he was victorious at the Academy Awards. He said: “I love you Jazz. I have to thank my wife Jazz for absolutely everything, for giving me my favorite people in the world. Please don't play the music because I want to tell a really quick story about Jazz. About a year ago, I was on a stage like this, and I very stupidly publicly said that I want a third kid from her, because she said if I won the award, she would give me the kid,” referring to his the 2023 Emmy Awards acceptance speech. “It turns out she said that because she didn't think I was gonna win,” he teased. “People came up to her and were like really annoying her. I think it got to her. But anyway, after the show, we're walking through a parking lot. She's holding the Emmy. We're trying to find our car. Emily, you were there so you're a witness, and she goes: ‘Oh, God, I did say that. I guess I owe you a third kid’. And I turned to her, and I said: ‘Really, I want four’. And she turned to me, I swear to God, this happened. It was just over a year ago. She said: 'I will give you four when you win an Oscar’. I held my hand out. She took it, and I have not brought it up once, until just now. You remember that, honey, you do? Okay, then I just have this to say to you, Jazz, love of my life. No pressure. I love you. I'm really sorry I did this again, and let's get cracking on those kids. What do you say?”
