Kieran Culkin takes stray shot at Adrien Brody over long acceptance speeches at 2025 SAG Awards
Culkin, 42, took home the first win of the night for his role in Jesse Eisenberg's comedy-drama A Real Pain.
'This is a really heavy award,' Culkin joked about the trophy. 'I don't think there's any way anyone can hold this for 45 seconds, which is the allotted time, Adrien Brody — 45 seconds.'
After bringing the audience to laughter, he clarified: 'There was no reason to take that shot. I love you; it's a joke. You take your time. Lord knows I will.'
'For those of you who don't know, [Jesse] cast me in this movie without auditioning me or seeing my work or seeing me in anything ever…which he thinks is normal and I can't even get into how annoyingly wrong he is,' Culkin teased. 'But he cast me because his sister told him to. And he puts a lot of faith in her, which is really sweet but dumb. So yes, thank you Jesse for putting me in this movie. But I want to take a moment to thank Hallie: Thank you, Hallie, for thinking of me and putting your name into your stupid brother's ear.'
'It's hard to be sincere,' Culkin added. 'But it's actually a huge honor.'
Earlier this year, Brody won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama for his role in Brady Corbet's three-hour historical epic The Brutalist.
During his acceptance speech, the 51-year-old delivered a heartfelt, yet lengthy, message. In it, he thanked his fellow nominees, his cast and crew, his 'beautiful and amazing partner' Georgina Chapman and many more.
'You know, this story is really the character's journey is very reminiscent of my mother's and my ancestors' journey of fleeing war and coming to this great country,' Brody said, concluding his speech.
'I owe so much to my mother and my grandparents for their sacrifice, and although I do not know fully how to express all of the challenges that you have faced and experienced, and the many people who have struggled immigrating to this country, I hope that this work stands to lift you up a bit and to give you a voice. I'm so grateful. I will cherish this moment forever.'
Brody was also nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for his role in The Brutalist at the 2025 SAG Awards.

Friend of Liam Neeson's late wife Natasha weighs in on Pamela Anderson romance
Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson starred alongside each other in a new movie that's sparked major romance rumours, and friends in the industry have given their approval Naked Gun is set to hit the screens this week as fans anticipate the undeniable chemistry between lead actors Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, but the rumours of their romance have now hit even closer to home. The Hollywood duo made an appearance at SiriusXM Studios in Manhattan on Wednesday, where late-night TV host Andy Cohen chimed in to share his thoughts on the potential pairing. It just so happens that the presenter was "dear friends" with Neeson's late wife of 15 years, Natasha Richardson. In 2009, the actress tragically lost her life in a skiing accident, leaving behind two sons that she shared with the Naked Gun star. Since then, Neeson has only ever been romantically linked to one person, Freya St. Johnston, in what appeared to be a fleeting relationship. The TV host told SiriusXM: "I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is. As I was telling him at the premiere party, I go, "Liam, Pamela is an independent woman, just like Tash was. She loves to cook. "She has her own thing going on. She has two boys. I mean, this just works, and you know? She is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. Like what she's been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself." At 58 years old, the ex-Baywatch star has been through quite the transformation in terms of her career in recent years, and playing a part in that was her major movie role just last year. Anderson starred in Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl, which landed her a Golden Globe nomination, years since she last appeared on screen. While talking to Cohen alongside his new co-star, Neeson quietly held hands with her and even impersonated a kiss on the Today show. The Oscar-nominated actor has been single since the ending of his two-year relationship in 2012, and it seems Cohen would agree it's time for Neeson to find love again. On NBC he gushed about their budding romance, saying: "I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors. "It was like, "Ooh, this is nice; let's not mould this. Let's just let it breathe." And that's what we did." Adding to the rumours, Anderson opened up to Entertainment Weekly about their connection. She said: "I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere and very loving. He's a good guy." In the comedy movie, the ex-Playboy cover girl plays the role of a nightclub singer named Beth, alongside Neeson, who stars as Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. The film, launching this Friday, sees Anderson's second major leading role since her career resurgence of the 2020s, and fans are more than here for it.

British contender to play James Bond insists he ‘wouldn't be good at it'
Popular British star Taron Egerton has downplayed suggestions he could take on the currently vacant role of James Bond, claiming he 'wouldn't be good at it'. All eyes are still on lists of bookies' odds and fan favourites while we wait to see who will inherit 007's licence to kill after Daniel Craig retired from the role following 2021's No Time to Die. But Egerton, 35, who is easy to visualise in the role after his star-making turn in the Kinsgman franchise, thinks he's too 'messy' for the part. The three-time Bafta nominee instead believes there are 'so many cool, younger actors' who would be better suited to the coveted role. Asked about the possibility of playing Bond, he told Collider: 'I don't think I'm a good choice for it. I think I'm too messy for that. 'I think I'm not – I really love James Bond and particularly Daniel Craig's tenure. But I think I wouldn't be good at it, and I think there's so many cool, younger actors who would be great for it. I think it would be wasted on me, probably.' Rocketman actor Egerton, who picked up a Golden Globe for his performance in the Elton John biopic, also observed that leading the Bond franchise is 'quite an undertaking'. He continued: 'That's not to say that I don't have aspirations and plans and also that I wouldn't be interested in doing something that's more commercial, because of course I would. I think I'm a period in my life where I've been probably following the things that speak to me on a creative level a little bit more, but, you know, I'm sure I won't feel that way forever.' The star also quipped that 'as far as I'm aware, nobody's asking me to do it'. Suggesting that this opportunity or similar is something he has weighed up before, Egerton was also realistic about its downsides, saying that playing Bond is 'possibly not quite the thing that would make me happiest'. 'I do think it's a big old undertaking, it kind of consumes your life, a role like that.' Egerton is currently promoting new indie crime thriller She Rides Shotgun, an adaptation of Jordan Harper's award-winning novel, after starring in Netflix's second most watched movie of all time, Carry-On. After well over a year of fevered speculation – ever since he was falsely reported to have officially landed the 007 gig, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has remained one of the front-runners to play Bond next. Fresh odds from Ladbrokes on Wednesday had him at 8/11, making him the first odds-on candidate in their eyes to be the next 007, after his appearance in 28 Years Later with Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes. Behind him is another hot favourite Callum Turner, next to be seen in A24 supernatural rom-com Eternity with Elisabeth Olsen and Miles Teller, and The Gentlemen's Theo James, both of whom are on 5/1. Slow Horses star and new Mr Darcy Jack Lowden is 6/1, and both Harris Dickinson and Tom Holland are 8/1. Egerton is currently 66/1 the bookmakers confirmed to Metro, having been bumped from 50/1 as recently as Friday. He started the year as 80/1 to be the next Bond, the same price as Sir David Beckham. His shortest odds were 25/1 just after he picked up his Golden Globe in 2020. Long-time producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson made the surprising move of ceding complete creative control of the 007 film franchise to their producing partners at Amazon MGM Studios earlier this year – for a rumoured extra $1billion (£747.5m). Since that change of power, things are moving a little more quickly with Amazon already announcing Harry Potter's David Heyman and Spider-Man's Amy Pascal as the new producers shepherding the franchise. More Trending In June, Oscar-nominated Denis Villeneuve was announced as the director for Bond 26 – with Broccoli later sharing her support from afar for the 'fantastic filmmaker'. 'I'm thrilled he's going to be doing it,' she added to Mark Kermode during an appearance on his podcast Kermode on Film. He's previously had success with his Dune adaptation, Blade Runner 2049 and 2016 alien movie Arrival, which earned him a best director nod. With key figures in the team aboard, it seems casting can now finally begin in earnest. Got a story?
