One
week ago, actor Leonardo DiCaprio received the Oscar for his role in
the film "The Revenant". Watch his acceptance
speech in the following video:
"Thank you all so very much. Thank you to the Academy, thank you to all of you in this room. I have to congratulate the other incredible nominees this year for their unbelievable performances. The Revenant
was the product of the tireless efforts of an unbelievable cast and
crew I got to work alongside. First off, to my brother in this endeavor, Mr. Tom Hardy. Tom, your fierce talent on screen can only be surpassed by your
friendship off screen. To Mr. Alejandro Innaritu, as the history of
cinema unfolds, you have forged your way into history these past 2
years... thank you for creating a transcendent cinematic experience.
Thank you to everybody at Fox and New Regency…my entire team. I have to
thank everyone from the very onset of my career…to Mr. Jones for casting
me in my first film to Mr. Scorsese for teaching me so much about the
cinematic art form. To my parents, none of this would be possible
without you. And to my friends, I love you dearly, you know who you are.

And lastly I just want to say this: Making The Revenant
was about man's relationship to the natural world. A world that we
collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our
production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be
able to find snow. Climate change is real, 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. We need to support
leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who
speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for
the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would
be most affected by this. For our children’s children, and for those
people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of
greed. I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take
this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much".
