At the 2025 Oscars, Edward Norton lost the Best Supporting Actor award to Kieran Culkin, prompting a viral moment as viewers interpreted his reaction to be an expletive. The actor, who was nominated for his role in 'A Complete Unknown', appeared to express his frustration on camera. As social media erupted with reactions, some fans played detective, speculating on what he might have actually said. Norton, who has had multiple Oscar nominations, previously stated his focus lies more on artistic integrity than accolades.
"When Culkin's name was announced as the winner, the camera cut to the other nominees including Norton, who turned to his wife, Shauna Robertson, and appeared to say 'F-k' out loud."
"On TikTok, one fan asked, 'Did Edward Norton just call Kieran Culkin a MF'er at the Oscars?'"
"But other viewers speculated that Norton might have said 'star,' 'big start,' or 'fun,' and not the F-word."
"One month before the Oscars, Norton said in an interview with CBS News that as an actor he cares more about channeling greatness, rather than the awards and the money."
