Russian actor Yura Borisov, 32, missed the chance to make history at the 97th Academy Awards, as the film Anora, in which he had a supporting role, won five other awards, including Best Picture.
Culkin’s portrayal of Benji Kaplan, a sharp-witted yet troubled man traveling through Poland with his cousin to reconnect with their Jewish heritage, earned widespread praise. His performance, balancing humor and emotional depth, was a standout in the film, helping him secure wins at the Golden Globes, BAFTA, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
