When DiCaprio, 41, was selected as the Best Actor, he was visibly emotional, while walking towards the stage. ‘What an incredible honor,' he began. 'Wow, that meant a lot.
'To the other fantastic performances in this category, you guys were incredible,' he added graciously.
“Two years ago we were immersed in nature [during filming]. This movie was about trust and no one was more deserving of our trust than our director. The depths to which he and the entire crew went to make this film were incredible.”
Feeling emotional further, Dicaprio said, “'I want to thank all of the indigenous people in the world. It is time we protect your land and heard your voices. It is time we recognize your history and protect your indigenous lands from corporate interests and people who are out there to exploit them.”
