Andrew Garfield cemented his place in meme history as his awkward grin at the 2023 Oscars went viral on Sunday.
The actor, 39, who was a notable part of the star-studded ceremony, became the center of attention when host Jimmy Kimmel quipped about Will Smith’s Oscars slap his opening monologue, and said Spider-Man would protect him.
As Kimmel said: ‘And if any of you get mad at a joke and decide you want to get jiggy with it – it’s not going to be easy’ the camera flipped to stars including Garfield, Steven Spielberg and Michael B.Jordan.
Kimmel joked: ‘You are going to have to tangle with Spider-Man’ as the camera fixed on Garfield who smiled awkwardly before opening his mouth wider in a hilarious grimace.
Fans quickly swarmed social media to share their delight, with one writing: ‘It would not be a legit Oscar night without Andrew Garfield being a meme.

Another wrote: ‘One more oscars day one more day andrew garfield becomes the main meme from the night he doesnt lose anything.
A third typed: ‘Andrew Garfield is the official meme of the night’ while another wrote: ‘Andrew Garfield and his dorky face at the Oscars.’

Garfield previously became a meme at the 2022 Oscars when he was snapped texting under a table, in the immediate aftermath of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.
Last year he also opened up about the iconic ‘meme’ shot that he pulled off with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland in Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The meme was posted by the official @SpiderManMovie Twitter in February, to promote the digital release on March 15.
Garfield was promoting his Oscar-nominated tick… tick… BOOM! on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday, where he revealed the meme shot was actually shot before he, Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland actually filmed any scenes.
The original meme dates back to a 1968 episode of the Spider-Man animated series dubbed Double Identity, where a Spider-Man lookalike was on the loose.

Haha: Fans went wild for Garfield’s hilariously awkward expression
Kimmel asked when the meme was shot, with Garfield revealing it was actually the first thing they shot for the movie.
‘Me and Tobey landed on set, they put us in the costumes, and they said, “We’re gonna do the meme really quickly,”‘ Garfield revealed.
‘That was before we had shot anything. It was literally like, saying hello to Tom, and we’re all in our (suits),’ he added.
Kimmel said, ‘The first time you said hello to Tom you were dressed as Spider-Man?’ which Garfield responded, ‘Yeah, ish, kind of, yeah.’
‘We were all kind of thrown onto a set and told to point at each other. I think we got one good shot and that’s that, cause the rest of the time we were just laughing trying not to stare at each other’s crotches, just comparing bulges,’ Garfield said.
There was a scene similar to the pointing meme in the movie too, and when Kimmel asked if that was his idea, Garfield said, ‘we were all putting our heads together about it.’
‘We were all like, “Where do we put the meme? Where do we put the meme?” We had a writers room going on between the five or six of us,’ he said, along with Tom, Tobey, director Jon Watts, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon.
Meme: Andrew opened up about the iconic ‘meme’ shot that he pulled off with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland in Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home last year
‘I just kind of happened to have the Doc Brown “Great Scott!” Eureka moment, I bolted upright and realized where it should be and I ran on to set and I interrupted whatever Jon was shooting and said, “I’ve got the meme! I’ve got the meme!”‘ Garfield revealed.
The scene happened in a lab when, ‘we’re all kind of like saying, is it me Peter? No we’re all Peter, and Jacob is getting frustrated. Yeah it was so much fun.’
