Ben said as he delivered the speech: “I just said to Matt, losing would suck but winning would be scary,”

He continued: “And it is really, really, really scary”.

Matt and Ben, 51, thanked a dozen people including their co-stars, agents, friends and family.

Ben also decided to give Minnie a shout-out during the speech.

By the time of the Oscars, Matt had already moved on with a new girlfriend who attended the ceremony with him.

Although she was not named during the speech by Matt.

Matt started dating actress Winona Ryder shortly after he split with Minnie and it is known that she did attend the 1998 Oscars – but it was not reported that they were an item back then.

Matt made an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show and confirmed he was back on the market. 

He said: “Well, I’m single. I was with Minnie for a while, but we’re not really romantically involved anymore, we’re just really good friends. 

Before adding: “I love her dearly.”
