What Did Kieran Culkin Say During Censored Oscars 2025 Acceptance Speech? Find Out!

Kieran Culkin won big at the 2025 Academy Awards on Sunday (March 2) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The 42-year-old actor won the Best Supporting Actor award for his work in A Real Pain.

His speech was a memorable one – and started off with a curse word! Kieran was bleeped up top while taking a moment to acknowledge fellow nominee and his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong.

You might be wondering what Kieran said. It appears he said, “Jeremy, you’re amazing in The Apprentice. I love you’re work, it’s f-cking…” before he was bleeped. He then acknowledged the curse word before continuing his speech.
