He is a recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award for his contributions to the cinema and has received numerous awards from Emmys, Golden Globe, Academy Awards, BAFTA and Directors Guild of America.

Because Gilbert is the oldest son, his mother depends on him to the point where he has virtually no life. It takes all his energy to keep the family intact. Gilbert has a certain amount of resentment, although he keeps a lid on it. And as much as he loves his mother, he feels embarassment by her obesity.

Although 'Mama' doesn't show it, she knows how Gilbert feels, and is hurt by it. It's great that by the end of the story Gilbert and Mama connect, Gilbert grows up in a sense, and can accept his mother, and she in turn can tell him how much she appriciates all he does for the family and how she understands how hard it has been for him. Becky probably had much to do with Gilbert's new attitude. Becky accepted his family, thorns and all, and she showed Gilbert how to also.
