"Did you notice all the nods to moms at the Oscars last night? Foremost, of course, was Best Actress Sandra Bullock giving a shout out to moms everywhere and the thankless work we do: &amp;quot;the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from.&amp;quot; She paused to tear up thanking her own mom, Helga Bullock, who&amp;#039;d once urged her to &amp;quot;not ride in cars with boys&amp;quot; and insisted she practice her music and dance every day, if she wanted to be an artist when she grew up. Best Actor Jeff Bridges raised his statuette and thanked his &amp;quot;show biz&amp;quot; mom and dad (Dorothy Bridges and the late &amp;quot;Sea Hunt&amp;quot; star Lloyd Bridges): &amp;quot;Thank you Mom and Dad for turning me on to such a groovy profession!&amp;quot; Teen star Miley Cyrus brought her mom as her guest this year. So did &amp;quot;Up in the Air&amp;quot;&amp;#039;s Best Supporting Actress nominee Anna Kendrick. Someone else (I can&amp;#039;t remember! Too many speeches!) gave a lovely tribute to their mother whose words now escape me because I didn&amp;#039;t write them down, but it was something like, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re my amazing wonder angel &amp;quot; (anybody help me out here?) and I found myself saying aloud, &amp;quot;Gee, hope my kid says something like that when he or she wins an Oscar!&amp;quot; \u2013Paula Spencer, WD &amp;quot;Momfidence&amp;quot; columnist "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
