The fashion may have stolen the show, but it was a handful of sweet (and one tart!) parenting callouts that got our attention. Yes, every parent who wins is practically required to thank their kids while accepting their award, but it's how they actually do it that counts. From heartfelt declarations of love and complaints about the terrible twos to a funny skit about fatherhood, we've rounded up our favorite parenting moments from this year's Golden Globes show.

Though it will probably be a few years until Amy Adams's daughter, Aviana, is allowed to see American Hustle, she'll want to replay her mom's acceptance speech for winning the award for best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy, for the movie again and again.
