SAG Awards: Why Kieran Culkin Called Out Adrien Brody During Speech

Roman
Roy
would
be
proud.



Kieran
Culkin

delivered
a
must-see
moment
at
the

2025
Screen
Actors
Guild
(SAG)
Awards

on
Feb.
23
when
he
picked
up
the
trophy
for
Outstanding
Performance
by
a
Male
Actor
in
a
Supporting
Role
for
playing
Benji
Kaplan
in

A
Real
Pain

alongside

Jesse
Eisenberg
.
(See

While
accepting
the
trophy,
Culkin
made
sure
to
crack
a
few
jokes,
including
playfully
calling
out


Adrien
Brody

by
noting
the
allowed
time
allowed
for
speeches.

“Thank
you
SAG-AFTRA,
for
this
incredibly
heavy
award,”
Culkin
joked,
referring
to
a
stand
featured
onstage, “That’s
why
they
put
the
thing
here,
I
guess,
right? I
don’t
think
it’s
any
way
anyone
can
hold
this
for
45
seconds,
which
is
the
allotted
time.
Adrian
Brody,
45
seconds.”

But
Culkin
quickly
made
it
clear
that
his
off-the-cuff
remark
was
just
that: “There
was
no
reason
to
take
that
shot.
I
love
you.
It’s
a
joke.
You
take
your
time.”

And
the
competition
was
steep,
as
Culkin
beat
out

Jonathan
Bailey

(Wicked), Yura
Borisov

(Anora), Edward
Norton

(A
Complete
Unknown
)
and
his
former

Succession

costar

Jeremy
Strong

(The
Apprentice
).

In
his
speech,
Culkin
went
on
to
offer
a
sweet
shoutout
to

wife
of
over
a
decade



Jazz
Charton
,

with
whom
he
shares 5-year-old
daughter

Kinsey

and
3-year-old
son

Wilder
.

“My
wonderful,
gorgeous,
funny
wife
Jazz,
I
love
you,”
he
gushed. “Thank
you
for
giving
me
my
favorite
people
in
the
world.”
