Aparicio, a 25-year-old from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, played a domestic worker in director Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma," which received 10 Oscar nominations, including a nod for best actress for Aparicio. I apologise to Yalitza, who deserves (this Oscar nomination) and much more," he said. "For me, it is an honour to see a Mexican be nominated for an Oscar." After her Oscar nomination, Aparicio said she was optimistic that her success would help break stereotypes around race and class. "You are used to seeing people on the screen who don't look like you," she said in an interview last month.
