Macaulay Culkin ‘Cried’ Over Brother Kieran’s Oscar Win and Only Watched His Category: ‘There Was No Way He Was Not Going to Win’
Macaulay Culkin knew his brother Kieran Culkin would win the Oscar for best supporting actor.

Culkin won the Oscar for best supporting actor thanks to his acclaimed performance in Jesse Eisenberg’s “A Real Pain.” He was nominated opposite Yura Borisov (“Anora”), Edward Norton (“A Complete Unknown”) and Guy Pearce (“The Brutalist”).
