It was impossible not to be moved, especially with Bernal&#8217;s spotlight on the darkened stage while thinking of that pivotal moment in the film when the lullaby is first heard. But a show stopping spectacle was waiting in the wings! Miguel and Natalia Lafourcade sized the stage with their rendition, complete with Ernesto de la Cruz&#8217;s legendary stage. It was reanimated just for Oscar night and mirrored the film closely!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">What a stunning performance of &#8220;Remember Me&#8221; from Coco featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Miguel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Miguel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lafourcade?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@lafourcade<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Oscars?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Oscars<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ru2OjBfcGx\">pic.twitter.com\/ru2OjBfcGx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Channel 9 (@Channel9) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Channel9\/status\/970483673718956032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 5, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/DXgLVmMU0AEkF83.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ava\/status\/970538188191117312\">Ava Duvernay<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<h3>Best Animated Feature<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Viva Latin America!&#8221; Oscar Isaac, one of the award presenters, cried out before announcing <em>Coco<\/em> the winner.

Anderson and three in the film&#8217;s cast: Anthony Gonzalez (Miguel); Gael Garcia Bernal (Hector); and Benjamin Bratt (Ernesto de la Cruz). It was a first for Pixar filmmakers to be flanked by their cast at an awards show, and it&#8217;s particularly noteworthy since they&#8217;re of Mexican and Latino descent.<br \/>\nOnce more, it was impossible not to be moved as Lee, Adrian, and Darla gave their acceptance speeches.
