During his acceptance speech, the Father of the Bride actor said, "This is a nice moment for me."

 Referring to his 2003 Golden Globe nomination for Igby Goes Down, Culkin also noted, "I was nominated for a Golden Globe like 20 years ago and I remember thinking I’d never be back in the room."

He added, "A lot of stuff happens on the show that is not planned or rehearsed or talked about [beforehand], when it happens, it’s really lovely and hard to recreate."
