The Mexican actress, whose starring role in Roma led to her first Oscar nomination, is living out her dreams. "I've felt so nervous since all this began, and I can't shake it, but I'm so happy to meet all these people and have these experiences," said the actress. "To see so many stars sat here casually, just eating, is incredible," she added.
