This year’s Oscars had a distinctly maternal tone as many stars either paid tribute to their mothers or brought them to the ceremony.
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the directors of Everything Everywhere All at Once, known collectively as the Daniels, dedicated their award to “all the mommies in the world”. Their film, which netted seven awards, the most of the night, is centred on a mother, played by Michelle Yeoh, struggling with her laundry business and marriage, but also her daughter’s sexuality.
