Moms were the stars of the Oscars before the show even started on Sunday.

Both Dev Patel and Lin-Manuel Miranda showed up with their moms on their arms and walked the red carpet with them.

It was a lot, for all of us.

People had trouble dealing.

Miranda's mom, Luz Towns, sang praises about her son, saying that it's long been said in their family that "when he goes [to the Oscars] — not if, when he goes — I was going with him."
