WATCH: Leonardo DiCaprio Gave an Oscar Acceptance Speech That Put Republicans To Shame

He’s one of the most recognizable actors of his generation and he’s starred in some of the most memorable movies. Yet, he’s never won an Oscar — that is until Sunday night. Leonardo DiCaprio took in Best Actor at the 88th Annual Academy Awards Sunday night for his role in The Revenant. DiCaprio used the moment to highlight an issue that Republicans have refused to acknowledge: climate change. He said:

The Reverent was about man’s relationship with the world. 2015 was the hottest year in recorded history. Our production team needed to go 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 or the big corporations.
