Kieran Culkin at the Oscars 2025
Kieran Culkin in his awards speech for the 2025 Oscars told a story of how he pressured his wife for a THIRD child, which she was openly reluctant about, and then said how she said if he won an Oscar, she would have FOUR children. He then said “no pressure” while tapping impatiently for her to have two more children she doesn’t want, making it abundantly clear by shaking her head and saying “no”. In today’s already rampant misogyny, lack of abortion access, and deteriorating society, I am appalled he would even suggest this as a “joke”, let alone to pressure her on live tv with one billion viewers and in front of a large audience.
Kiernan's also been doing that whole "Ugh, I don't even care about all this Oscar shit. It's all stupid and lame." thing that no woman would ever get away with. Kristen Stewart once said she wasn't worried about the awards race yet when her movie first started getting awards buzz and they snubbed her for almost every single award nomination until she apologized and was granted an Oscar nom after missing out on the rest of awards season.
It just pisses me off so much. Kiernan not caring or mocking the whole thing just makes him relatable and quirky. For Kristen, it meant she was an ungrateful bit*h. Men get away with so much.
And also, Kiernan started crying as soon as he won so clearly it was all an act anyway. I like him as an actor, but he seems kind of insufferable as a person.
He played Roman Roy very well because he is Roman Roy…
