Watching movies as a family is one of our favorite things to do! We keep a fully-stocked cart with our favorite movie theater candy and beverages, and we make a custom poster to celebrate the occasion. Since my daughters were little, our Oscar parties have been a special tradition. Now, I’m looking forward to this year’s party as I begin to plan our celebration. Since the party is a family event in our home, I can appreciate that one theme that many of the Oscar-nominated movies of 2022 have in common is family.

It’s no surprise that our favorite family-friendly movies, such as Encanto, Cruella, and The Mitchells vs. The Machines, share this theme. However, even the movies that are meant for an older audience focus on family too. King Richard is about a family making it big in tennis. Being the Ricardos is about Lucille Ball finding balance in her dreams of having both a Hollywood career and a family life. The Lost Daughter is about a professor’s memories of early motherhood.

This year, family as a major theme of the Oscar nominations makes sense with the pandemic meaning more family time than ever. Featured today on Enjoying Family Life, I am sharing 10 quotes about family from the Oscar-nominated movies of 2022.

With these quotes, you can find a fitting Instagram caption as you binge the nominees with your family. Tweet along as the nominees are announced on Sunday, March 27, 2022 at 8 pm EST, or chose quotes to feature in your own Oscar party movie poster as you decorate for a family Oscar party.
