The best speech of the best Director of 2015

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu who won three Oscars on Sunday night and made many jokes  after his three wins on Sunday night, especially after his name was announced as the best winner of the night. Despite he said he’s the “worst-English speaking guy here.” “Two Mexicans in a row. That’s suspicious, I guess.” Gonzales Iñárritu dedicated the Oscar to the people of Mexico and to Mexican immigrants in the United States.  He delivered these words, “I pray that we can find and build a government that we deserve, and the ones that live in this country, who are a part of the latest generation of immigrants in this country, I just pray that they can be treated with the same dignity and respect as the ones who came before and built this incredible immigrant nation,” said the director. It’s very clear that as Mexican he also suffers all social problems as normal citizen from Mexico. Iñárritu had spent more time denouncing the corruption and impunity in his country, though, and less time on the more PC US-friendly topic of US immigration. Definitely, his work is recognized in USA and not only him, Emmanuel Lubezky is another talented photographer who won his second Oscar and both have been celebrated not only in Mexico but in Latin America. Hopefully, the whole world will know that all made in Mexico is well done no matter race color, gender, language or religion.  Congratulations for both!
