Michelle Williams  was back to mommy duty yesterday as she picked up her daughter Matilda Ledger from a playdate in the suburbs of LA. On Sunday, Michelle attended the Academy Awards with her friend  Busy Philipps as her date. Michelle had already snagged a Golden Globe this year, and was nominated for best actress for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in  My Week With Marilyn . Michelle didn't take home the Oscar - the win was reserved for  The Iron Lady 's  Meryl Streep  - but she nonetheless made a major impact on the red carpet in her Louis Vuitton gown. The actress was one of your picks for  best dressed at the Oscars  in the bright coral design.

This weekend marked the end of a busy award season for Michelle, who either won or was nominated for more than two-dozen honors for her latest role. Michelle frequently used her acceptance speeches to speak about her love for her 6-year-old daughter, calling out her "bravery" and "exuberance" as her biggest inspirations in both her life and work.
