The Oscars and the Dreamers
In recent times, many Hollywood stars have entered the political arena by vocalizing both support and disapproval of various policies and reforms. Last night’s Oscars did not deviate from the aforementioned pattern. Multiple attendees took the opportunity to express their support for young illegal immigrants, more commonly referred to as Dreamers.
Actress Lupita Nyong’o and actor Kumail Nanjiani delivered the hereinafter speech:
“We are the two actors you keep hearing about, but whose names you have trouble pronouncing. We are also immigrants,” began Nyong’o.
“I am from Pakistan and Iowa: two places that nobody in Hollywood can find on a map,” added Nanjiani.
