Andrew Garfield thanks Goldie Hawn for bringing his late mom 'joy' in her life
Andrew Garfield took to the stage to hand out the Oscar for best animated feature film and best animated short film with Goldie Hawn -- and he didn't pass up the opportunity pass to tell the actress what she meant to his late mother.
"There's someone, there's a person who gave my mother during her life the most joy, the most comfort. And tonight, I feel very lucky, because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart. That person is Goldie Hawn," Garfield said. "I can feel her smiling at us at this moment."
Hawn replied, "Thank you, sweetie. That really touches me."
Garfield continued, "You've given us movies full of joy, you've lifted our spirits and you've made us feel that all's right with the world over and over and over again."
"I just loved it," Hawn said in response. "I was so lucky making movies in this amazing Hollywood and making people laugh -- and maybe some didn't, but that's OK."
Garfield's mother died in 2019 from pancreatic cancer.
