Kieran Culkin Wins Best Supporting Actor at 2025 Oscars

At the 2025 Oscars, Kieran Culkin won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'A Real Pain,' marking a significant win as it is not from a Best Picture-nominated film. Culkin's heartfelt acceptance speech included a dedication to his wife, humorously referencing their future family plans tied to his Oscar win. He triumphed over competitors including Edward Norton and Jeremy Strong, with his performance praised for its emotional depth. Meanwhile, Adrien Brody and Timothée Chalamet are leading the race for Best Actor, with both actors having strong momentum in the awards season. Culkin's win is notable as he could become the first Best Supporting Actor winner since 2011 to achieve this feat for a non-Best Picture film. The 2025 Oscars showcased a competitive atmosphere with potential upsets predicted in several categories.
