It only seems fitting to round out the list with the gentleman I opened this article with, Leonardo DiCaprio. After thanking everyone involved in The Revenant, Leo spoke out on behalf of the planet, reminding us all that we can no longer take it for granted and abuse it in the ways that corporate America has made a habit of.On Sunday night, live from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, the 88th annual Academy Awards (The Oscars) were held and aired around the world. The 3+ hour award ceremony celebrated the year’s best in all facets of film, highlighted by the movie Spotlight — the true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation in the Catholic church, which took home the award for Best Picture of 2015.While the program’s ratings hit an 8 year low, due in large part to the active boycott of the event for a lack of diversity amongst the year’s nominees, many still tuned in and witnessed Leonardo DiCaprio finally win an Oscar for best actor after numerous nominations.Well-known for his work as a global activist in addition to being a world-renowned actor, it only seemed fitting that Leo would use his long overdue acceptance speech to shed light on a matter he is passionate about.
