— -- Some stars can be found on the Oscars red carpet with their longtime loves or latest romantic flames on their arms. But some are choosing to bring family members to this year's Academy Awards.

Best supporting actress Naomie Harris will be walking the carpet this year with her mother. "She has always been my champion," Harris told ABC News. "She always believed in me more than I've ever believed in myself."

Harris isn't the only one bringing her mom to the Oscars. First-time nominee Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is nominated for best original song, will also be escorted on Sunday by his mother, Luz Towns-Miranda.

"My mom always said, 'When you get nominated ... I'm your date," Miranda told ABC News.

These two join a long list of celebrities who have opted to bring family members to the red carpet in the past.
