One of the best moments of the 2018 Emmy Awards had to be when Glenn Weiss took the podium to accept his win for Outstanding Directing For A Variety Special for his work on the Oscars. Weiss thanked his children and family, then mentioned that his mother had sadly passed away just two weeks prior. What he had to say next though would have the entire audience at Microsoft Theater on their feet applauding him.
Weiss’ girlfriend Jan Svendsen was noticeably shocked but she made her way to the stage and Weiss asked her to marry him, using his mother’s engagement ring.
