Glenn Weiss took home the Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special Emmy, and one thing became clear: The guy knows how to make compelling live TV.
During his victory speech for helming the Oscars earlier this year, Weiss noted that he was “grateful” to be on stage but the moment was “bittersweet” as his mother had just passed away two weeks ago. “Part of my heart is broken, I don’t think it will ever be repaired, but she’s in me and she always will be,” he said. “Mom always believed in finding the sunshine in things, and she adored my girlfriend Jan. Jan, you are the sunshine in my life, and mom was right, don’t ever let go of your sunshine. You wonder why I don’t like to call you my girlfriend — because I want to call you my wife.”
As the audience gasped and then erupted in cheers, jumping up and down — some even teared up (hello, Claire Foy) — Weiss’ girlfriend, Jan Svendsen, took the stage while he formally proposed. She said yes.
It was, well, an award-winning moment.
