Oscar victory is the first nomination and win for Kieran Culkin, proving that his masterful performance in A Real Pain merits all the acclaim. His long path to achieving this height took him decades ago with his iconic performance in Igby Goes Down. Nevertheless, his character Roman Roy, the broodingly funny role in HBO's Succession, earned him worldwide fame and was awarded numerous trophies, including Golden Globe, Emmy, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
