Before ‘Home Alone’, Macaulay Culkin starred in the only Oscar-winning movie of his career. His scene was cut
Macaulay Culkin filmed a small speaking part in Oliver Stone’s 1989 film *Born on the Fourth of July*, but the scene was cut during editing. The film went on to win two Oscars, making it the only Oscar-winning movie in which Culkin has technically appeared, though viewers never see him.
Culkin’s planned line was reportedly a question about joining a parade when he grew up, and he said the removal was not a major loss because he had only two lines. The film received eight Oscar nominations and won for Best Director and Best Editing; months after its awards success, *Home Alone* made Culkin a household name.
In short
- Culkin’s scene in *Born on the Fourth of July* was cut.
- The film won two Oscars from eight nominations.
- *Home Alone* soon made him a household name.
