Use Who + did + verb in the base form
Do I have to say "Who did go to the movies yesterday?" because it seems much easier to say "Who went to the movies yesterday?". Are both grammatically correct?
Thanks a lot guys.

This is called "emphatic do."

The normal way of saying this would be 'who went to the movies yesterday?', this is the neutral way of asking the question and what you would normally hear. The only time that "Who did go to the movies yesterday?" would be used is when a number of people have denied going to the movies yesterday and the questioner is trying to find out if anybody actually went. The speaker would normally emphasise the word 'did' in this case
