15 Times Actors Brought Their Moms to the Oscars

This definitely wasn t the first time actors have invited their mothers to accompany them on Hollywood s night of nights. In past years, Leonardo DiCaprio has brought his mom—his perennial awards date—as has Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who promised his mother that she would be invited to the Oscars when he was just 10 years old. Isn t it nice to be able to keep your promises?

Below, see the Oscar attendees who have elected to hit the red carpet with some very special indeed.
