Gael García Bernal presented alongside Hailee Steinfeld the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars 2017, but before announcing the nominees he made a powerful statement. "Flesh and blood actors are migrant workers," he said. "We travel all over the world, we build families, we construct stories, we build life that cannot be divided, as a Mexican as a Latin American, as a migrant worker, as a human being, I am against any form of all that wants to separate us."
