Kieran Culkin
Can’t Get Over Trophy’s Weight …
Spends SAG Speech On It

Kieran Culkin gave the first thank you speech of the SAG Awards … or, at least he meant to — but, he just couldn’t get over how heavy the trophy was.
The actor accepted the trophy for Male Actor in Supporting Role in a Motion Picture … and, while it seems he may have meant to give an actual speech, when he grabbed the trophy that went out the window.
Check out the clip … Culkin receives the trophy and begins talking about it’s weight — and, he just can’t stop.
He puts the award down on the table next to him — commenting about how that must be what it is for before launching into a bit about how actors must have designed the heaviest award for themselves to prove their profession’s importance.
The bit goes on and on … before Culkin finally says he needs to actually say something and thank some people — including his pal and “A Real Pain” director Jesse Eisenberg.
He rattles off a series of names in about 30 seconds before walking off … unclear if he got everyone — but, it’s a nice recovery after clearly being distracted up to that point.

BTW, “Shogun” star Anna Sawai agreed with Culkin — admitting it is heavy at the end of her own speech for winning the Female Actor in Supporting Role in a Drama Series award.
It’s just the latest award Culkin’s won for his part in the drama movie about generational trauma set in Poland. He’s already won a BAFTA, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for the part, and he’s up for an Oscar next week too.
He might want to reinforce his shelf though … ’cause it’s gonna have to carry one more hefty award.
