88th Annual Oscars

Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor Award for his role in "The Revenant" and Brie Larson won the Best Actress Award for her role in "Room." The show was hosted by Chris Rock.

It’s the 88th Academy Awards. It’s the 88th Academy Awards, which means — this whole no black nominees thing has happened at least 71 other times. Okay? You got to figure that it happened in the ‘50s, in the ‘60s. You know, in the ‘60s, one of those years, Sidney didn’t put out a movie. I’m sure — I’m sure there were no black nominees, some of those years.


 “Why are we protesting this Oscars? It’s the 88th Academy Awards, which means this ‘no black nominees’ thing happened at least 71 other times. You got to figure that it happened in the ’50s, in the ’60s. One of those years, Sidney [Poitier] didn’t put out a movie. I’m sure there were no black nominees some of those years, say ‘62 or ‘63. Black people did not protest. Why? Because we had real things to protest at the time. We were too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematography. When your grandmother’s swinging from a tree, it’s really hard to care about best documentary foreign short.”

Leonardo DiCaprio: Actor Wins Best Actor Award for His Role in 'The Revenant' at Oscars

I am so happy... He should have won this award several times by now for so many amazing performances... Love his passion, his honesty... What a man! What an amazing talent of a man.... He is one of the best in my eyes😍😍😍

He could have made his acceptance speech about his long journey to getting an Oscar, but he didn't. Instead he made it about climate change and indigenous people. Respect. Always was, always is, and always will be a big big fan.

Through hard work he has achieved amazing recognition for his talent which he deserves. But what I respect so much is that he has used the‪#‎oscars‬ as a platform to send out a crucial message. A message which is so much more important than a little gold statue and recognition.
It's so scary that we have shown no respect for the planet Earth and it's plants and animals. Sometimes we are so caught up in day to day life, dramas, force fed fake news and ridiculous politics that we are sending our own species to extinction and dragging innocent species down with us who evolved to coexist with us and ultimately help us.
Big respect Leo. Finally You done it
