The 2025 Oscars were filled with unforgettable moments, including Halle Berry’s red carpet revenge on Adrien Brody and a stunning performance by Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Host Conan O’Brien also made bold comments about President Donald Trump. However, one of the most emotional moments occurred when Goldie Hawn shared a heartbreaking health update.
Hawn, 79, revealed she was struggling with cataracts during her presentation with Andrew Garfield for Best Animated Feature Film. After briefly struggling to read the teleprompter, she admitted, “I’m completely blind,” before explaining her condition. Cataracts cause blurry vision and can lead to blindness, especially in older individuals.
Garfield, responding with kindness, assured Hawn and continued the presentation. Earlier, Garfield had shared a touching tribute, thanking Hawn for the joy her films brought to his late mother, who passed away in 2019.
