Glenn Weiss just won an Emmy for 鈥淒irecting for a Variety Special鈥� for the 2017 Oscars, but it was his acceptance speech that had everyone talking.
In the middle of thanking everyone he stopped to thank his girlfriend but then said he would like to call her his wife.
"I鈥檓 really grateful to be here but it鈥檚 bittersweet," he started. "The person most proud at this moment would be my mom, and she passed away just two weeks ago. A part of my heart is broken, I don鈥檛 think it will ever be repaired. But she鈥檚 in me and she always will be. Mom always believed in finding the sunshine in things and she adored my girlfriend Jane. Jane, you are the sunshine in my life. And Mom was right: don鈥檛 ever let go of your sunshine. You wonder why I don鈥檛 like to call you my girlfriend? Because I want to call you my wife."
Everyone at the show started clapping and, of course, his girlfriend stood up in shock to say "Yes," then made her way to the stage as the audience clapped. Many celebrities looked just as surprised as she was.
He jokingly repeated he hadn鈥檛 asked yet, until she made her way to the stage, where he got on one knee and "properly" asked.
"And the Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special goes to Glenn Weiss, who just PROPOSED onstage after accepting the award! (She said yes)."
