Kieran Culkin's Oscars Speech Got Bleeped — Here's What the TV Audience Didn't Hear

In an unsurprising turn of events, Kieran Culkin took home the Best Supporting Actor award at the 2025 Oscars. The actor earned the award for his role as a grief-stricken cousin in Jesse Eisenberg's buddy road dramedy film A Real Pain.

During his acceptance speech, Kieran had a lot to say — but some of his words were censored for viewers at home. So, what did he say? Here's what we know.

Kieran Culkin kicked off his acceptance speech by shouting out former Succession co-star and fellow Best Supporting Actor nominee Jeremy Strong. However, his sweet message was mostly bleeped for at-home viewers after he dropped the first F-bomb of the night.

"Jeremy, you're amazing in The Apprentice. I love your work. It's f--king great," Kieran said, before quickly adding, "I'm not supposed to single anyone out. It's favoritism. Anyway, but you were great!"

Kieran then went on to thank his manager and his A Real Pain co-star and writer/director Jesse Eisenberg. He also gave a nod to his wife, Jazz Charton, whom he had made a bet with about having more kids if he won an Oscar.

"I swear to God, this happened. It was just over a year ago," Kieran shared. "She said, 'I will give you four when you win an Oscar.' I held my hand out. She took it, and I have not brought it up once until just now. You remember that honey, you do? OK, then I just have this to say to you, Jazz, love of my life … 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? I love you!"

Wow, classic Kieran — charming and full of surprises!
