00:00Believe it or not, this actually means a lot to me.
00:02Uh, it does.
00:05It's hard to be sincere after that or in general.
00:08Kieran Culkin had jokes at the 2025 SAG Awards.
00:12The star won the SAG Award for male actor
00:14in a supporting role in a motion picture
00:17for his role in A Real Pain.
00:19And while on stage, he delivered a hilarious speech
00:22where he playfully roasted Adrian Brody.
00:25I don't think there's any way anyone can hold this
00:27for 45 seconds, which is the allotted time,
00:32Adrian Brody, 45 seconds.
00:36There was no reason to take that shot.
00:38I love you, it's a joke.
00:39You take your time.
00:43Lord knows I will, because I didn't think of anything.
00:46He also had jokes about his fellow actors.
00:49It is funny that the heaviest of all awards
00:51is the one that's given by actors.
00:54It's like, you know, us, what we do,
01:00means so much.
01:04You can see like the meeting of actors.
01:06There's like, like, it needs more weight.
01:09Anyway, all right, moving on.
01:12I see the clock ticking.
01:14Kieran made sure to thank his co-star, Jesse Eisenberg,
01:17as well as his sister.
01:18For those of you that don't know,
01:19he cast me in this movie without auditioning me
01:21or seeing my work in anything ever,
01:23which he thinks is normal,
01:24and I can't even get into how annoyingly wrong he is.
01:27But he cast me because his sister told him to,
01:29and he puts a lot of faith in her,
01:30which is really sweet, but dumb.
01:33So yes, thank you, Jesse, for putting me in this movie,
01:35but I want to take a moment to thank your sister, Hallie.
01:40Thank you, Hallie, for thinking of me
01:42and putting my name in your stupid brother's ear.
01:45The star wrapped up the speech
01:46by giving his wife a shout out.
01:48Thank you, searchlight, fruit tree, topic.
01:50Nicole Caruso, Jameson TJ, WME,
01:52my manager, Emily Gerson Sainz,
