Macaulay Culkin "cried" when his brother Kieran Culkin won an Oscar.
The 'Home Alone' star and his partner Brenda Song only tuned in to watch the first prize being given out at the Academy Awards on Sunday (02.03.25) but he couldn't be prouder of his younger sibling, who took the Best Supporting Actor accolade for his work on 'A Real Pain'.
Speaking to Tan France on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, Macaulay said when asked if he'd watched the show: “Just the Best Supporting Actor.
“That’s the only thing I watched. True story, true story… I cried. And I was like, ‘I’m gonna see you later.’ ”
But Macaulay, 44, and 36-year-old Brenda weren't surprised to see Kieran take the award.
Asked if they expected him to win, Brenda said: “Of course. Let’s be real. We’re allowed to say that.”
Her partner agreed: “Yeah, absolutely. He was front row, aisle, closest to the stairs. There was no way he was not going to win.”
During his acceptance speech, 42-year-old Kieran caused a stir when he reminded wife Jazz Charlton - with whom he has children Kinsey, five, and Wilder, three - about her promise to expand their family if he ever won an Oscar.
Referencing his previous comments at the Emmy Awards, the 'Succession' actor said: "I have to thank my wife Jazz for absolutely everything, for giing me my favourite people in the world...Please don't play the music because I want to tell a quick story about Jazz.
"About a year ago I was on a stage like this and I very stupidly, publicly said that I wanted a third kid from her because she said if I won the award she would give me the kid. It turns out she said that because she didn't think I was going to win but people came up to her and were really annoying her, I think it got to her.
"Anyway, after the show we were walking to the parking lot and she goes, 'Oh God, I did say that. I guess I owe you a third kid'.
"And I turned to her and said, 'I want four'. She turned to me and I swear to God she said to me, 'I will give you four when you win an Oscar.' I held my hand out and she shook it and I have not brought it up once until now.
"Remember that honey? You do. Well, I just have this to say to you Jazz, love of my life, ye of little faith. 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?"

Steelers reporter shares big claim about how Aaron Rodgers has looked in training camp
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers spent the bulk of the spring as an unsigned free agent and, thus, only began officially practicing with Pittsburgh Steelers teammates during the team's three-day mandatory minicamp in June. During a Monday appearance on Pittsburgh radio station 102.5 WDVE, Steelers reporter Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette addressed how Rodgers looked during his first few training camp practices with the club. "His release is just astonishing to watch," Dulac said about Rodgers, as shared by Ross McCorkle of Steelers Depot. "Everybody knows about it, and when you see it in person, you see it every day in practice, you just marvel at it. To me, he's the greatest thrower of the football I have ever seen, even at 41 (years old). That flick of that wrist and that ball comes out, it's moving and it is something to see." Rodgers was with the New York Jets when he suffered a torn Achilles four offensive snaps into the 2023 regular-season opener. He was then slowed by a nagging hip issue, injuries to both his knees, a low ankle sprain and a serious hamstring problem as the 2024 Jets went 5-12. According to Pro Football Reference, Rodgers finished last season ranked 28th in the NFL among qualified players with a 48.0 adjusted QBR and 26th with a 43.9 percent passing success rate. That said, he was also eighth with 3,897 passing yards and tied for seventh with 28 passing touchdowns. Rodgers and Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson endured some struggles during training camp sessions last summer before the two allegedly "never saw eye-to-eye" during the season. It sounds like Pittsburgh fans should be encouraged by how Rodgers performed in recent practices. "That guy can get rid of the ball as quick as anybody," Dulac added. "He made three throws in seven-on-seven (drills) the other day that the cumulative total I bet couldn't have exceeded 2.1 seconds. And two of those were for touchdowns." Rodgers wants to finish his career "the right way" and help the Steelers notch at least their first playoff win since January 2017. As of Monday morning, DraftKings Sportsbook had Pittsburgh at -150 betting odds to miss the playoffs for the upcoming season.
Bad News Brewers? Insider Gives Tigers-Eugenio Suárez Update
Are the Milwaukee Brewers still in the running for Eugenio Suárez? While it’s difficult to gauge the precise status of any Suárez-Brewers talks, one thing is clear — there are multiple contenders in hot pursuit of the Arizona Diamondbacks slugger. MLB.com’s Thomas Harrigan called Milwaukee the No. 2 landing spot for Suárez on Saturday (behind the Philadelphia Phillies) and also included the Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, and Houston Astros on his list. On Monday, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale provided an interesting update on the Tigers’ connection to Suárez. “The Detroit Tigers, one of the strong suitors for Diamondbacks All Star 3B Eugenio Suarez, would love to finalize a deal before Suarez leaves town Wednesday,” Nightengale wrote on Monday afternoon. “The DBacks are in Detroit for 3-game series.” Does Detroit, set to share physical proximity with Suárez over the next 72 hours, suddenly have the upper hand in the sweepstakes for the All-Star? That would be a wild development if so. Suárez and his suitors have become the leading topic amid what has otherwise been a quiet trade deadline, although analysts believe a flurry of moves will happen on Thursday with hours remaining before the literal deadline. Suárez’s recent production has only fueled the trade buzz. He’s hit 36 home runs this year and represents the most impactful bat on the market. Brewers fans are still split on whether acquiring Suárez would make a winning team better or possibly interrupt flawless chemistry. The only shocking outcome at this point would be if Suárez is still wearing a Diamondbacks uniform when August begins.
Vikings Training Camp Notes: J.J. McCarthy has solid day, while Jonathan Greenard and UDFAs steal the show
The Minnesota Vikings are firmly entrenched in training camp right now, and Monday’s practice was the first where they put on the pads. How will players like J.J. McCarthy look now that it’s full physicality? Who stands out? What positions are the most competitive? Let’s break it down. Punt return battle The Vikings are going to have a lot of competition for the punt return job. I saw the following players field punts WR Myles Price WR Rondale Moore WR Tai Felton WR Silas Bolden WR Dontae Fleming Winning this job could be the deciding factor on one or two of these players making the 53-man roster. Dwight McGlothern season? One of the biggest question marks for this team comes at the cornerback position. After Byron Murphy Jr, many questions persist. Who is going to step up in a big way to make an impact? That player could be Dwight McGlothern. He looks much improved from last year’s training camp, including a fantastic rep where he got an interception on a comeback route covering Rondale Moore by staying insanely patient, and undercutting it. Dontae Fleming shows out When you are a depth wide receiver, there aren’t many opportunities to stand out. When they do come about, you need to jump on them, The Vikings did some one on ones before they transitioned into teams and we got a standout catch from UDFA wide receiver Dontae Fleming out of Tulane in both drills. Both catches were on deep balls, where he showed really nice separation and tracking to get both throws. With him being an option also as a punt returner, having some offensive prowess will only help his case. Max Brosmer makes play in limited reps The fourth quarterback doesn’t get a lot opportunities to throw the football. When you do, it’s best to make it count. While he did throw an interception, his last rep in team drills stands out. The pocket collapsed on him rather quickly, but Brosmer escaped through the pressure and fired a bullet to Myles Price on a deep crosser on the sidelines. It was his throw of the day and a very good one to end on. Jonathan Greenard wrecks the 2 minute drill To end practice, the Vikings did a two minute drill with the fist team and second team. It was an opportunity for McCarthy to wow the crowd. It didn’t happen, mainly due to the rush by Greenard. He was causing consistent havoc across the board. Greenard was doing his thing in getting off the ball extremely quick and forcing fast decisions. From my angle, I couldn’t tell him if he got any sacks, but he certainly forced the issue and at least one bad throw. J.J. McCarthy has solid day Consistency and growth are the keys for me this time of year. What does your process look like and how well do you perform? There wasn’t a lot to be upset about when it comes to McCarthy’s performance, but he only had one play that gave us a “wow” moment, when he hit Lucky Jackson in the cover-2 honey hole with a missile. Hitting that window unlocks a lot out of your offense. Zemaiah Vaughn looks the part The Vikings have a great history recently when it comes to UDFAs. The next one up looks to be the cornerback from Utah in Zemaiah Vaughn. He looks the part as a long, tall cornerback, but he moved incredibly well in and out of his breaks, including attacking at the catch point. He was firmly with the second team today, which puts him a leg up over others,
LA Lakers have inside track to sign 2x All-Star in new buyout deal, it would complete their roster
The Los Angeles Lakers could make yet another addition to their roster this offseason. After a poor postseason run, the Los Angeles Lakers have been active this summer in hopes of bolstering their roster. In fact, general manager Rob Pelinka has already made some key additions to the roster, including Deandre Ayton, Jake LaRavia, and Marcus Smart. Signing an elite center was arguably the most important task for Pelinka this offseason, and he fulfilled it with the arrival of Ayton. However, one could argue that the Lakers still need a quality backup center. Luka Doncic could recruit Nikola Vucevic to the Los Angeles Lakers While the Lakers re-signed Jaxson Hayes, a player of Chicago Bulls star Nikola Vucevic’s caliber would undoubtedly be a major upgrade. Moreover, with Vucevic being on the Lakers’ radar for years, it means that the organization rates him highly. Previously, the Bulls didn’t indulge in a trade with the Purple and Gold around Vucevic. It has led to Vucevic’s trade value diminishing so much that he is expected to complete a contract buyout with the Bulls. The Laker Nation would love to sign the 34-year-old, and Luka Doncic can help in this quest. How? Well, Doncic and Vucevic share the same agent in Bill Duffy. This means that if Vucevic completes a buyout, the Lakers could have the upper hand in negotiations. The 2x NBA All-Star has given the last five and a half seasons of his career to the Bulls, but it’s obvious that their time together is about to end sooner rather than later. Adding fuel to the fire were former Orlando Magic star Evan Fournier’s comments. Fournier ridiculed the Bulls while taking a shot at Vucevic after the latter called out his move overseas. Luka Doncic has already proven he can recruit stars Ahead of his first full season with the Lakers, Doncic is doing everything in his power to bring back the glory days for the Lakers. He has already undergone a massive transformation to silence his critics. Additionally, Doncic has been actively involved in recruiting players for the Lakers. Smart admitted Doncic was a huge reason behind his decision to sign with the Lakers. Ayton also acknowledged Luka’s role in his decision to join the Purple and Gold. Let’s not forget Ayton also has the same agent as the Slovenian superstar. So, Doncic has already given the inside track for one star; there’s no reason to doubt he would do the same in Vucevic’s case.
