During the event, O’Hara gave a heartwarming speech in honor of her onscreen son. She stated that Culkin was the major reason why Home Alone was a classic. “Home Alone was, is, and always will be a beloved global sensation. The reason families all over the world can’t let a year go by without watching and loving Home Alone together is because of Macaulay Culkin,” O’Hara admitted. “Yes, Culkin had the most excellent script and wonderful director, but it was his perfect performance that has made it such an enduring classic.

“I know you worked really hard, but you made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do,” she added. “This beautiful 10-year-old little boy was called a superstar, a moneymaker, one of the hottest leading young men in Hollywood. How does anyone survive that?”

O’Hara also praised Culkin as an actor with a great sense of humor. “I believe you’d have to possess a certain quality, a gift that dear John Hughes obviously recognized in Macaulay. Of his sense of humor, it’s a sign of intelligence in a child and a key to survival at any age,” she confessed. “You have brought that sense of sweet yet twisted, yet totally relatable, sense of humor to everything you have chosen to do since Home Alone.”
