Andrew Garfield’s Oscars appearance made us cry—and he didn’t even win an award.
On March 2, Garfield took the stage at Dolby Theater to present the award to the best animated feature film alongside Academy Award-winner Goldie Hawn. However, before reading off the teleprompter, the 41-year-old actor took a moment to thank his co-presenter for the joy she brought his mother, Lynn Garfield, before she passed away in 2019.
“Can I tell you something really quickly? There’s someone, there’s a person who gave my mother, during her life, the most joy, the most comfort,” he addressing the 79-year-old actor. “And tonight, I feel very lucky because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart—that person is Goldie Hawn.”
He continued, “I can feel her smiling at us in this moment,” to which Hawn replied, “And now I’m smiling too.”

But Andrew Garfield’s Oscars candid moment wasn’t over. “You’ve given us movies full of joy, you’ve lifted our spirts, and you’ve made us feel that all was right with the world over and over again,” Garfield concluded.
Hawn, who took home the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in Cactus Flower spoke about her love of making movies for people just like Garfield’s mother. “You know, I was so lucky making movies in this amazing Hollywood and making people laugh and maybe some didn’t, but that’s okay,” she told Garfield.
From there, the pair went back to their script, with Hawn asking her co-presenter to read her parts, telling Garfield, “I’m completely blind.”
