Kieran Culkin Predicted Adrien Brody’s Long Speech

Mar 4, 2025

Kieran Culkin‘s brutal Adrien Brody shoutout turned out to be spot-on.

The Succession alum—who won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for A Real Pain at the 2025 Academy Awardscalled Brody out during his acceptance speech at the SAG Awards last month, warning him to make sure to keep his speech to under the 45-second time allotment if he won an award that night.

“Thank you SAG-AFTRA, for this incredibly heavy award,” Culkin joked, referring to a stand featured onstage at the Feb. 23 ceremony. “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.”

He then emphasized, “Adrian Brody, 45 seconds.”

While Brody wound up losing his award that night to Timothée Chalamet, he did take home the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in The Brutalist at the Academy Awards, where ignored Culkin’s previous warning from and delivered a five-minute speech during which he asked the orchestra to stop playing music encouraging to wrap it up. (See all of the night’s big winners here.)
