Leonardo Dicaprio got what some considered, his long overdue Oscar for his role in the film Revenant, at the 2016 Academy Awards. It was his sixth nomination.
His acceptance speech, turned into a warning about climate change, claiming the film crew had to travel to the “southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow.”
“Climate change is real,” said Leo, “It is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.”
The said we needed to find leaders who don’t speak for the “big polluters and the big corporations” but who speak for all of humanity and the indigenous and underprivileged and for our children’s children. “Let us not take this planet for granted,” he said.
On a lighter note, here’s Buzz Lightyear and Woody from A Toy Story presenting Best Animated Feature. It’s the 20th anniversary of the franchise!
