Nobody thought Goldie Hawn would win Best Supporting Actress in 1970 forCactus Flower least of all Goldie Hawn.
She didnt even watch the ceremony, so unconcerned was she about potentially winning.
I forgot it was on television that night, she toldVariety.
Then I woke up to a phone call at like 4 in the morning.
And it was a mans voice and he said, Hey, congratulations, you got it.
You got the Academy Award for best supporting actress.
Hawn actually didnt watch her Oscar win until this years host, Jimmy Kimmel, made her.
The pair were en route to a party when Kimmel sat her down to actually view the footage.
He said, Did you ever see the part where youre being announced by Fred Astaire?
And I said, Fred Astaire?!
Hes my idol, she said.
And I didnt know he was the one that announced my name.
I got emotional when I finally saw it.
I never got dressed up.
I never got to pick up the award, she said.
