Catherine O'Hara Speech at Macaulay Culkin Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Ceremony

[@geraldsonofgod]

Let’s be honest, this was long overdue. This guy is a walking legend.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I never thought it would happen since he’s been out of the lime light for quite a while

[@puedo78]

I'm watching him in AHS right now and damn you're right

[@rhodesfamily2008]

So true!

[@JG1570]

It was long overdue. But he was absent from the spotlight throughout the early 2000s to late 20 teens. Now that he’s back with his podcast and doing interviews it was probably the best time to give it to him.

[@carlt8188]

💯 correct

[@eddielin6081]

He still calls her mom…that’s so heartwarming

[@queenwishieluck1359]

It’s not often a Tv mother gets called Mom in real by her Tv kid.

[@therealandes]

It's always a tradition for me to watch Home Alone every Christmas day, ever since I was a kid until today and I'm 38. Proud of Macaulay Culkin. Well deserved!💯

[@bennyc409]

Same for me at 39 years old!

[@Beeman2892]

Me tooo!! My Xmas wont be complete without watching 1 and 2

[@sayno2lolzisback]

My Christmas has to include Home Alone 1 and 2

[@GretaBruzzo19]

Same for me, I’m 28 and still watch both 1 and 2

[@jamesobrien6856]

For me it’s always home alone 2 every Xmas ❤

[@ervicito77]

The way he still calls her mom and when he tears up. ❤️😭

[@RapFanatic4ever]

That’s beautiful

[@queenwishieluck1359]

Well it’s not often a tv Mom gets called mom by her tv kid in real life.

[@allenknight4799]

She said she was his "fake mother" but I dont think there was anything fake about it. She was his movie mom and they both touched our hearts with their relationship.

[@josephsoltero7326]

Agreed. He even called her mom at 00:26. I don’t think there’s anything fake about their relationship. There’s clearly a loving bond there.

[@StevenDoh]

How does one even compose themselves after that tribute from the amazing Catherine O'Hara...what an honor and deserved. Great speech, I 100% teared up

[@handsomeX]

[@TheCory42]

Catherine is a class act.

[@Spiritualminds84]

She sure is, a phenomenal woman in all the sense of the word.

[@Xxandrew01]

She definitely is. And aged beautifully well. I'm so shocked how wonderful she looks at her age.

[@monsieurbojangles2336]

She’s delightful

[@jimnfl7134]

She is still as beautiful as ever!

[@Mattamillion-vk2pf]

I don't usually care about Walk of Fame ceremonies, but this one was definitely worth watching. I'm 44 and I grew up watching Home Alone at Christmas and anytime I could. This was long overdue and definitely deserved. That's sweet that he called her momma and she responded calling him 'darling baby'. So moving.

Both of them deserve their flowers. They're both 90s staples and essential to childhood memories. From Beetlejuice to Page Master and My Girl.

[@ianmccown]

They are not only 90s staples! But staples now 😊 Goodness, I love what Culkin has been up too, and Catherine playing the iconic Moira Rose on Schitts Creek was AMAZING. I am sad it ended a little while back…

[@killuhkween]

She didn’t forget him this time ❤

[@richierich8334]

She's clearly everything Mac wants in a mother, that his own mother couldn't or never gave him. The reason he invited her there for sure :)

[@manuelorozco7760]

When I found out about his parents divorce it was quite a shock to me!

[@thethinkingtrain]

He said on a podcast recently that he’s on good terms with his mother. His father on the other hand…

[@bethcrumpton476]

I noticed that with all the awards Kieran Culkin has been winning lately, he's been thanking his mother and not his father.

[@dhaang126]

I used to worry about Macaulay when I'd see things in the news. But he really does seem to have turned out OK. I hope he's as happy as he'd made us over the years.

[@thecapone45]

Yes!! I remember like 8 years ago they thought he was on drugs because of that picture of him looking super skinny.

[@seanzy4]

He is the best to start a child actor nobody can top him

[@manuelorozco7760]

I hope so too

[@JaYb97716]

The media and paparazzi are there to report news, not make news. I can't imagine what so many actors and other famous ppl have to go through because of some pathetic troll journalists. Very sad.

I have tears of joy seeing Macaulay Culkin healthy and happy. This sweet soul of a man went through so much to get where he is today and I'm honestly just proud of him! He is so deserving of his Hollywood Star of Fame. ❤ Icon from my childhood! It wasn't until my adult years that I learned this was a "Christmas" classic. I watched it religiously on my VCR until it just stopped working. 😂

[@carolinej1456]

I'm surprised he didn't get his star sooner! So well deserved!

What a lovely speech and tribute. If “Home Alone” were the only thing that he ever give to the world, it would have been enough. I enjoy watching it with my 9-year-old daughter ever since she discovered it last year and fell in love with it.

I'm 41 and I watch Home Alone with my two kids now around Christmas time. I remember my Mom taking me to see it as a kid and it's still a highlight moment of my life. The McAlister's are family to me, great moment to see. Well deserved

Without Macaulay Culkin, there would be no Home Alone trilogy, no Boy Meets World, no Ned’s Declassified, no Suite Life of Zack and Cody, no Stranger Things, and there would no Good Boys. 33 years after Home Alone arrived in movie theaters, Macaulay has received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As a fan, I congratulate him because this wonderful story is an example of how as long as we keep our faith while facing hardship God knows how to work things out for good in order to find redemption.

[@CityChristina]

It was possible due to his determination, not some fairy tale like "God". Silly religious freak

[@harrisonblum3075]

Kate Mccallister in Home Alone 1 and 2. Delia Deetz in beetlejuice and Moria Rose in Schitts Creek. Are probally the 3 most iconic characters catherine has ever played. I mean i know kate is supposed to be not the best mom(besides the villian) but katherines performance espeshially when she realizes kevin isnt there is just so iconic. I have seen both home alone movies probally 4 or 5 times maybe more, And i think the 3rd one. My favorite is the original. Just seeing kevin take charge and those hillarious never ending pranks on Harry and Marv(The robbers) . Is just so iconic. I love that they still have a wonderful relationship. And the way they made it then, makes it one of my favorite christmas movies of all time.

[@thehouseofcm]

One of the best speeches given for the Walk of Fame ceremony.

The photo of them hugging then and now just go to show you how much Catherine meant in his life, thank you for a magical reunion on the walk of fame of all the fans of home alone, I'm proud of catherine, and McCauley for the years of entertaining us with home alone, even though this is only 4 minutes long when they hugged and she almost cried, I'm pretty sure we all felt the emotion's as they are two amazing people with one coming so far in his life

Seeing Home Alone in the theater is one of my earliest movie memories. I was 5 when it came out. I have seen how much the world has changed since it's debut. 33 years doesn't feel like such a long time ago in some ways, but in other ways it feels like a lifetime ago. It's really great to see Macaulay getting the recognition he deserves and that he seems to be enjoying a good life. The first 2 Home Alone movies are bonafide classics, and I am so glad I have them both on Blu Ray to enjoy forever. They have to be included in anyone's list of favorite Christmas movies.
