Kate Hudson's Hilarious Actor Awards Speech Upstaged by Brother Oliver's Reactions
Kate Hudson delivered a side-splitting speech during the opening of Sunday night's Actor Awards, but it was her brother Oliver Hudson's animated facial expressions that truly captured the audience's attention. The awards ceremony, formerly known as the SAG Awards, traditionally begins with notable actors delivering monologues about their careers, culminating in the declaration, 'I am an actor.' Kate, nominated for her role in Song Sung Blue, had the star-studded crowd at The Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles in stitches as she recounted tales of her rebellious youth.
Oliver Hudson's Expressive Reactions Steal the Spotlight
Recalling how she was 'boy crazy,' 'too loud,' and 'got in trouble for daydreaming,' Kate shared anecdotes about being sent home from school for inappropriate dress. Her actor brother Oliver, seated in the audience, responded with a series of hilarious reactions, including grimacing, nodding in agreement, and shaking his head in mock disgust. As Kate delivered her punchline—'It turns out these are all very marketable skills' as an actress—Oliver broke into a wide grin and applauded enthusiastically.
Interestingly, Oliver wasn't originally scheduled to attend the awards. He stepped in as a last-minute date after Kate's partner, Danny Fujikawa, fell 'crazy sick.' The brother-sister duo later explained to ET that Kate called Oliver and insisted, 'you need to be my date.' This spontaneous arrangement added an extra layer of authenticity and warmth to their on-screen moment.
Kate Hudson's Childhood Diaries Reveal Early Romantic Musings
In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Kate, the daughter of Hollywood legend Goldie Hawn, delved into her 'boy crazy' musings from childhood diaries. She revealed, 'I've been journaling since I was like eight,' but nearly backed out of sharing the notebooks due to their intense content. 'I started looking through them and I'm like, "I can't read these. I can't read them."' According to Kate, the journals were filled with early romantic thoughts and an unexpected emotional depth for someone so young.
She joked, 'I was like a little girl writing Sabrina Carpenter songs,' noting that many entries focused on feelings and experiences she 'shouldn't know about.' Host Jimmy Kimmel quickly identified a recurring theme, prompting Kate to admit she's been 'boy crazy' for most of her life. 'Oh, I've been boy crazy literally since 1980,' she laughed, adding that even her recent journal entries still revolve around romance.
Despite initial nerves, Kate agreed to read aloud a song she penned at age twelve. 'The touch of a hand, the whimper of a kiss,' she recited, before clarifying, 'Hadn't kissed. I have no idea.' As she continued, the actress appeared both amused and mortified by the dramatic lyrics, which referenced lingering sensations and 'the faint, sweet smell of yesterday's last dance.' Kimmel reacted with a stunned 'Wow,' while Kate laughed, marveling at the intensity of her inner world during her youth.
