Macaulay Culkin made sure not to miss his younger brother Kieran Culkin's first Oscar win Sunday.

In fact, Culkin told Vanity Fair Oscar Party livestream host Tan France it was the only part of the awards ceremony he tuned in for.

"Just the best supporting actor. That's the only thing I watched," the "Home Alone" star quipped. "True story, true story."
