Andie MacDowell and Hugh Grant are also longtime friends who have shared the Oscars stage. The Brit complimented his colleague on “Four Weddings and a Funeral” – in his usual way: “Actually, we’re here to do two things,” the actor began his onstage speech.

McDowell “still looks amazing,” unlike him. “
