The two brothers famously shared the screen in 1990’sHome Aloneand its 1992 sequel — though Kieran, 42, joked at a Tribeca Film Festival panel in June 2024 that he “didn’t know what the f— the movie was about" when he was filming it.

“I saw it at the premiere and I was dying laughing," Kieran said. “I was like, ‘Well, I guess that makes sense. [Macaulay] was on set a lot. I guess he’s the lead of this movie.' "

“Oh my gosh, it’s not something I ever expected,” she toldElleon Thursday. “Doing the work is the win. That’s what I like to do, and I think we can lose sight of that sometimes in this whole crazy awards season, but it’s nice to be recognized, and it’s all a bonus.”

But being there also reinforced the couple’s decision to keep their kids out of the spotlight, with Song telling the outlet that “Dak was scared of all the cameras.”

“That’s one of the reasons why we sort of keep them away. They did not understand what was happening,” she said, referencing the Hollywood spotlight and noting, “They didn’t ask for this life.”

As for Song, the Disney Channel alum explained toBustlethat she parted ways with her longtime managers and publicists in 2023 in an effort to work more often, adding that Macaulay once told her she was “insane” for thinking her career may have already peaked.

“Family life is the most important thing, but I’ve always said to be the best parent, the best partner, I have to be the best me,” she said. “And a huge part of that is work. I have to be able to honor that.”
