Kieran Culkin is under fire for perceived misogynistic comments made during his Oscar acceptance speech after winning Best Supporting Actor. Although his speech began warmly with gratitude toward his manager and Jesse Eisenberg, it escalated to anecdotes about family planning promises made to his wife, Jazz Charton. He humorously recounted how she promised him four children if he secured an Oscar, leading to mixed interpretations about his intent. The backlash emphasizes societal sensitivities around speech and the multidimensionality of humor in public platforms.
Kieran then went on to explain that after he won the Emmy, he told Jazz that he actually wanted four kids. Jazz then jokingly said, "I will give you four when you win an Oscar." Jazz, listening to Kieran's speech from the front row of the audience, burst out laughing and then nodded, admitting that she had, in fact, made that promise.
Kieran hopped onstage to deliver a heartfelt and initially well-received speech, which he began by thanking his manager and Jesse Eisenberg, who wrote and directed A Real Pain, the movie he won for.
After winning Best Supporting Actor, Kieran recounted the comedic promise made with his wife, reflecting on the lighthearted nature of their discussions regarding family expansion and achievements.
Smirking, Kieran continued, "I held my hand out, she shook it, and I have not brought it up once until just now. You remember that, honey?" he said.
