Actor Javier Bardem appeared to push back on President Trump’s immigration rhetoric at the Academy Awards, telling the audience in Spanish, “There are no borders or walls that can restrain ingenuity and talent.”

Without mentioning him by name, the remarks appeared to be a dig at Trump, who made cracking down on immigration and the building of a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border a hallmark of his 2016 presidential campaign.

Bardem’s comments weren’t the only “wall” knock during the Oscars telecast — comedian Maya Rudolph kicked off the ceremony by quipping to the audience, “Mexico is not paying for the wall.”
