Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell gave fans of the romantic comedy Four Weddings And A Funeral a treat on Sunday when they reunited on stage at the 95th Academy Awards in Hollywood.
Hugh, 62, and Andie, 64, were back together on stage nearly 30 years after they starred together as love interests in the modern classic.
The Notting Hill star — who went viral before the start of the show when he got short with Ashley Graham on the red carpet — looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo with a black bow tie as he accompanied his former costar out to the stage.
Andie was effortlessly elegant in a black sleeveless dress with asymmetrical straps.
Hugh opened their segment, which was supposed to announce the nominees for Best Production Design, boy saying they were there ‘to do two things.’

Decades: Hugh, 62, and Andie, 64, were back together on stage nearly 30 years after they starred together as love interests in the modern classic
‘The first is to raise awareness about the vital importance of using a good moisturizer,’ he continued. ‘Andie has been wearing one every day for the last 29 years. I have never used one in my life.’
Then he pointed to her — ‘Still stunning’ — and back to himself — ‘Basically a scrotum,’ he said, which got an uproarious laugh from the audience while Andie showed off a scandalized smile.
She quickly got it under control and continued with the award for production designers, who create the look of the sets and the entire film.
Then they announced the winners, Christian M. Goldbeck and Ernestine Hipper, who had worked on the All Quiet On The Western Front adaptation.
This wasn’t the first time Grant and MacDowell had gotten back together after starring in Four Weddings And A Funeral, as they appeared in a short film sequel in 2019 to commemorate Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day.
The original film was nominated for two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, though it lost out on both.
Earlier, Hugh had an awkward interaction with Ashley Graham on the red carpet.
She seemed to set him off with a question about his role in Glass Onion, which suggested she may not have seen the film, as his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it role is the shortest of cameos.
Uh oh: Hugh made an off-color joke after noting how Andie used moisturizer for years and he never used it
Yikes! Then he pointed to her — ‘Still stunning’ — and back to himself — ‘Basically a scrotum,’ he said, which got an uproarious laugh from the audience
Winners! She quickly got it under control and continued with the award for production designers, who create the look of the sets and the entire film. Then they announced the winners, Christian M. Goldbeck and Ernestine Hipper, who worked on All Quiet On The Western Front
Cringe-worthy: Earlier, Hugh had an awkward interaction with Ashley Graham on the red carpet after she seemed to reveal she hadn’t seen his film Glass Onion by asking him about working in the film, where he’s onscreen for only a few seconds

‘What was it like to be in Glass Onion? How fun is it to shoot something like that?’ she asked
‘Well I’m barely in it, I was in it for about three seconds,’ he quipped, before following up with more clipped answers.
The ceremony tonight is being hosted by late night chat show host Jimmy Kimmel and is being held at its regular venue, the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
Top Gun: Maverick has been nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture, in a sign that Hollywood is finally listening to audiences and honoring box office hits instead of arthouse favorites.
The movie starring Tom Cruise is nominated for Best Picture, along with Elvis, Avatar: The Way of Water, All Quiet On The Western Front and Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, the nomination for Best Picture could bring him his first Academy Award, as he also produced the picture.
However, Everything Everywhere All At Once led the pack with the most nominations at 11, and The Banshees of Inisherin earned nine nominations. The two films swept the Golden Globes earlier this month.
Elvis, by Baz Luhrmann, has eight nominations, including one for Austin Butler.
Best Actress at the Oscars will be a toss-up between Cate Blanchett in Tár and Michelle Yeoh, who won the award at the Golden Globes for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Ana De Armas also earned a nomination for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, Austin Butler (Elvis), Brendan Fraser (The Whale) and Bill Nighy (Living) all received nods.

Big favorite: However, Everything Everywhere All At Once led the pack with the most nominations with 11
All Quiet On The Western Front, a German-produced film, earned multiple nominations, as did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, including Best Original Song.
Angela Bassett is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and as is Jamie Lee Curtis for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Winners will be voted on by the roughly 10,000 actors, producers, directors and film craftspeople who make up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The academy added more women and people of color to its ranks after the #OscarsSoWhite uproars of 2015 and 2016, and it increased membership from outside the United States.
This year, seven of the 20 acting nominees were people of color including Yeoh’s Everything Everywhere All At Once castmates Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Quan.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences will surely celebrate a best-picture field populated with blockbusters; according to data firm Comscore, their collective domestic box office of $1.574 billion is the most ever at the time of nominations.
Last year’s awards had been looking like a comeback edition before ‘the slap’ came to define the ceremony. In the aftermath, the academy banned Will Smith from attending for the next 10 years.
Though he could have still been nominated, Smith’s performance as a runaway slave in Emancipation didn’t catch on with voters.

But larger concerns are swirling around the movie business. Last year saw flashes of triumphant resurrection for theaters, like the success of Top Gun: Maverick, but less stellar results for most dramas.
Partially due to an inconsistent stream of major releases, ticket sales for the year recovered only about 70 percent of pre-pandemic business.
Stocks for streaming services, meanwhile, have plunged as Wall Street looked to streaming services to earn profits, not just add subscribers.
Last year’s Oscar broadcast drew 16.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen, up from the record-low audience of 10.5 million for the pandemic-marred 2021 telecast.
