Glen Weiss (2018)
It was the surprise that took everyone by surprise. The American director, rewarded for his directing work during a special broadcast, in this case the Oscars, offered a very moving moment which will go down in the history of the Emmy Awards. Glen Weiss made a point of mentioning his mother, who died two weeks earlier. “She loved my girlfriend Jan,” he said of his girlfriend and her companion for the evening, Jan Svendsen. “Jan, you are the sunshine of my life, and mom was right, never let your sunshine go. You wonder why I don’t like calling you my girlfriend – because I want to call you my wife. »
Jan Svendsen took the stage and the director got down on one knee to propose with the ring his father had given his mother 67 years before.
Zendaya (2022)

And I just want to say to all my peers who work on the streets: I see you, I admire you, I thank you, and yes, thank you very, very much! »
