Best actor winner Rami Malek also brought his mom with him to the Oscars. He thanked her in his speech, saying, \"My mom is here somewhere. Oh, I love you. I love you lady.\"

The camera then panned to her in the audience, hands on her face and overcome with emotion.

Actors weren't the only ones who brought mom along to the show -- several actresses had their moms by their side for their big night as well.

Best actress nominee Yalitza Aparicio had her mom by her side on the Oscars red carpet. The two held hands and looked stunning in gowns of different shades of blue.

Best supporting actress winner Regina King also brought her mom along on the Oscars red carpet.

In her acceptance speech, King thanked the people in her life for her Oscars win, saying, \"I'm an example of what it looks like when support and love is poured into someone.\"

Academy Award-winning actress Charlize Theron also brought her mother to Oscars. This isn't Theron's mom's first rodeo; she was sitting right next to Theron as she won best actress for her portrayal of convicted serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 2004.
