Okay movie lovers award season just keeps on giving us moments we can't stop talking about . This time it's Kieran Culkin (yes Macaulay's brother! ) who walked away with an Oscar and delivered a hilarious acceptance speech that involved a baby pact with his wife Jazz Charton. Get ready for some laughs because this story is too good.
Kieran Culkin Wins Oscar and Hilariously Calls Out Wife Over Baby Pact: 'Let's Get Cracking on Those Kids!'
Kieran Culkin snagged the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in A Real Pain and his acceptance speech was anything but boring. He decided to use his big moment to remind his wife Jazz Charton of a promise she made. Apparently Jazz jokingly said she would have more kids with Kieran if he ever won an Oscar. And guess what? He won!
During his speech Kieran turned to Jazz in the audience and said "It turns out she said that because she didn't think I was gonna win." He went on to tell the story of how after his Emmy win in 2024 Jazz jokingly said she owed him a third kid. Then it escalated to four kids if he won an Oscar. He even dramatically recounted shaking hands with her on this "deal" over a year ago and not bringing it up again until the Oscars stage. Smooth move Kieran smooth move.
He finished his hilarious call-out to Jazz with "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?" The camera caught Jazz laughing and mouthing a definite "No!" Talk about a priceless Oscar moment.
Jazz Charton's Epic Response: 'Making Empty Baby Pacts is a Great Motivator!'
Of course Jazz Charton is not one to be outdone in the humor department. She responded to Kieran's on-stage baby pact joke in the best way possible: on Instagram with a cheeky post. She shared a photo and captioned it "AN OSCAR?!!!! Okay okay hear me out - making empty baby pacts may seem foolish but it’s clearly been a great motivator."
She continued the joke asking "Would he have come this far if I hadn’t kept promising him more kids if he won awards?….. Probably. But who’s to say?" Jazz totally played along with the joke proving she is just as funny and quick-witted as her Oscar-winning husband. It is clear these two have a fun and playful relationship.
Kieran's F-Bomb Shout-Out to Jeremy Strong and Emma Stone's 'Blackmail'
The baby pact wasn't the only memorable part of Kieran's speech . He also gave a shout-out to his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong who was nominated in the same category. Kieran's praise for Jeremy was heartfelt but also a little bit uncensored. He said "Jeremy you’re amazing in ‘The Apprentice.’ I love your work it’s f---ing great." Yep he dropped the F-bomb live on the Oscars. The broadcast quickly censored it but the uncensored clip is out there and it is hilarious.
Kieran laughed off the censored moment joking "I'm not supposed to single anyone out. It's favoritism. Anyway but you were great." It was a genuine and funny moment that showed his appreciation for Jeremy despite the competition.
Another funny story that came out recently is about how Emma Stone a producer on A Real Pain basically "blackmailed" Kieran to stay in the movie. Apparently he almost dropped out just weeks before filming because he didn't want to be away from his family. Emma Stone stepped in and convinced him to stay even joking that the whole movie would fall apart without him but it wasn't his responsibility. Whatever she said it worked and we got an Oscar-winning performance out of it so thanks Emma!
