IF THIS doesn’t make you cry, you might just be dead inside.

Director Glenn Weiss stole the show at the Emmys by proposing to his girlfriend on stage.

Weiss had just won the award for Directing for a Variety Special for his work on the Oscars when he took to the stage and paid tribute to his recently deceased mum.

“Mum always believed in finding the sunshine in things and she adored my girlfriend, Jan,” he said.

“Jan, you are the sunshine in my life and mum 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.”

The crowd erupted and it was hard to tell who was more shocked, Weiss’s girlfriend or Leslie Jones.

The couple received a standing ovation as Jan made her way onto the stage.

“This is the ring that my dad put on my mum’s finger 67 years ago,” Weiss said to her. “And to my sisters and brothers, I didn’t swipe it, Dad knows I have it, OK!”

The director dropped to one knee and said, “Will you marry me?”

Thankfully Jan said yes and through tears told her new fiancee, “I love you”.

I never thought I’d bawl my eyes out at the #Emmys. I was wrong. — Ms. Figari198 (@MsFigari) September 18, 2018

I’ve said no to two marriage proposals in my life. It’s because they didn’t propose to me on stage at @TheEmmys in front of Benedict Cumberbatch and company. #EMMYS — Becky Tyler (@BeckyTylerArt) September 18, 2018

That engagement at the #Emmys! I hope my future fiancé is taking notes. 📝 — Ｔａｙｌｏｒ (@blackgirlmed) September 18, 2018

If you're going to propose that's probably the best way to do it #Emmys — Saman Shad (@muminprogress) September 18, 2018
