Tyler Perry says single mums should be "celebrated".
The 'A Madea Christmas' actor - who directed, penned, produced and stars in 'The Single Moms Club' - was sitting behind Jared Leto at the Oscars on March 2, and he could see the emotional impact the star's words had when he paid tribute to "high school dropout and a single mum" Constance after he won the Best Supporting Actor trophy.
Perry is delighted that the difficulty in raising children in single parent families is being addressed and their achievements are being recognised.
Talking to variety.com at the premiere of the film in Hollywood on Monday (10.03.14), he said: "I was sitting behind her (at the Oscars) and (could) see the emotion of her being a single mum.
"I just think that it's about them being celebrated, so it's pretty exciting."
Perry gushed about having a "really good team" to work with on the project.
He added: "I have a really good team who held all this together for me, so it's all about the team. If you've got a good team, you can manage a lot of things."
Meanwhile, Cocoa Brown, who plays Lytia in the comedy drama, insists she could relate to her character since her personal life reflects many of the issues her alter-ego faces as a single mum.
She added: "I became a single mother while we were filming. I was going through a separation.
"This movie has been very therapeutic to me, and the village that I created with my castmates."

Suki Waterhouse wants to play a "badass" girl on screen.
The 22-year-old model - who is dating Hollywood hunk Bradley Cooper - has been working on her first film, romantic comedy 'Love Rosie' where she stars alongside Lily Collins and Sam Clafin, and has decided she'd like to do more film work.
She told LOOK magazine: "I just finished a romantic comedy a couple of months ago called 'Love Rosie', filmed in Ireland. It's my first proper feature film and it made me decided I want to do more, so we'll see."
Quizzed on what kind of role she'd like to be offered, she added: "Maybe a Bond girl, or anything like that. Or an Angelina Jolie 'Girl Interrupted' kind of thing. I'd like to play a bad-ass girl."
Waterhouse previously claimed models can easily become actors since the lines between the two industries are "blurred" nowadays and doesn't want to limit herself to one career.
She said: "I think with modelling and acting these days, the lines are blurred. Everyone can do all sorts of things, so why do just one?"

'The Inbetweeners 2' will be released in the UK and Ireland on August 6.
The comedy will have Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas reprise their roles as Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland and Simon Cooper respectively, as they head to Australia, in the sequel to the 2011's hit film.
The films are based on the E4 sitcom of the same name, which was created and written by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, and followed the story of teenager Will and his three of his friends at Rudge Park Comprehensive.
The cast were a "tight-knit family" while they worked on the series and 'The Inbetweeners Movie', and came on board quickly when the decision to make a sequel arose.
A source previously said: "It wasn't easy for any of the guys involved to call it a day after the last film. They were a tight-knit family and really missed each other when it all came to an end.
"The writers, Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, have been knocking ideas around for a while and came up with something they thought would be good enough to maintain the high standards they have set.
"They never thought all the lads would be up for coming back so soon as they have become big stars in their own right. But when James said he was game the other week, everything seemed to click into place."
Emily Berrington, Freddie Stroma and David Field are new cast additions.

Nicolas Cage says it "sucks to be famous right now".
The 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' star recalls being inspired by the late James Dean after watching him on 1955's drama 'Rebel Without a Cause' and 'East of Eden', and insists the American actor's talent made him want to join the film industry.
The 50-year-old actor is disappointed that fame has changed since then as there are people who are "famous for famous' sake" now.
Talking at the South by Southwest festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas on Monday (10.03.14), Cage said: "I started acting because I wanted to be James Dean. I saw him in 'Rebel Without a Cause', 'East of Eden'. Nothing affected me -- no rock song, no classical music -- the way Dean affected in 'Eden.' It blew my mind. I was like, 'That's what I want to do.'
"This was before everyone had a thing called a Smartphone, and before the advent of the 'celebutard' -- just being famous for famous' sake. I'm not complaining, but it really sucks to be famous right now."
Cage will next hit the big screen in crime thriller 'Tokarev' alongside Rachel Nichols.

Gawker is urging a federal court to drop Quentin Tarantino's 'Hateful Eight' lawsuit.
The website - which stands accused of copyright infringement by linking to a leaked script of the director's upcoming cowboy film, which he has since been forced to scrap - now claims the lawsuit should be dismissed because Tarantino hasn't cited actual copyright infringement, only "contributory" factors.
According to Variety.com, they said in a motion to dismiss filed in US District Court in Los Angeles on Monday (10.03.14) that the lawsuit "does no more than raise the possibility that some member of the public who accessed plaintiff's script using Gawker's link subsequently violated Tarantino's rights by committing an infringement.
"Because plaintiff did not allege any facts showing that an infringing act actually was undertaken by a third party - merely accessing the script by clicking on the link is legally insufficient - plaintiff did not state a claim for contributory infringement."
Gawker also claims that linking to an online version of the script was fair us because it hadn't "reproduced" the material.
They said: "Gawker made minimal use of the script - it reproduced no part of it but merely linked to another publication. Gawker's use was, at most, incidentally commercial and did not usurp the primary market for and purpose of the script: to make a movie."
The Oscar-winning 'Django Unchained' director decided to pull the plug on the movie and is demanding at least $1 million in damages for Gawker's actions.
He said he had only given the script for 'The Hateful Eight' to six people and believes one of them must have let their agent see it, who subsequently sent it on.
District Judge John Walter has scheduled a hearing in the case for April 14.

Colin Farrell admits 'A New York Winter's Tale' isn't for "everyone".
The 37-year-old actor appears in the film alongside former 'Downton Abbey' star Jessica Brown Findlay, who plays his love interest, and admits the romantic drama won't be a favourite for everybody since it's "too sweet".
He told HELLO! magazine: "It's not for everyone. I know that for some people it will be too sweet. But it's also a very beautiful and very optimistic and very kindly intentioned film that has not a shard of malice in it, and I'm hoping that the people who will enjoy it, will really enjoy it."
Farrell's equestrian skills made it easier to film scenes where he rode Athansor, a mysterious white horse who becomes his alter-ego's guardian angel, but had concerns about having Findlay on the horse behind him.
He added: "That was a hairy ride, man. People can get thrown off horses, you know? And I don't mind for myself because I've been thrown off horses before, and it's fine, it's cool, you just get back on again. I don't even mind how wild the horse is - although the horse we used in the film was pretty cool and mellow. But I did fear riding with Jessica in the back because I'm not that good a horseman."
