Other than being set in Mexico there is little to connect Roma to the border wall. Roma doesn't really concern itself with modern day politics and is hyper-focused on the family and the maid that the films about. In fact one nice element of the film is how you see Mexico go under change but it's almost entirely happening in the background of the story. I also like films that took risks and to go from Gravity to a black and white film in a foreign language was a big one for Cuarón. Roma is probably the front runner looking at the odds and I would be happy for it to win.
Other than that I hope Coleman wins Best Actress and Spiderman best animated film.
