“Andrew that was beautiful my man. I cried, I laughed, I swelled with pride and then became concerned that my mom was now gonna love Andrew Garfield more than me,” the actor wrote on social media.

Hudson went on to joke that he is “still not sure where I stand” with his mother after the Oscars. “She hasn’t responded to my texts so… ” he added. Goldie responded in the comments, joking, “I’m sorry I didn’t answer your texts honey, I was talking to Andrew!!!”
