Joaquin Phoenix used his Oscars acceptance speech for Joker to earnestly say thanks, and champion the voiceless
to every single event.) And this time around, Phoenix got more personal than ever, looking inward at his own faults and paying homage to his late brother, River.
Tonight, however, Phoenix didn't want to spotlight just one sect of the voiceless; he wanted to show that all of the causes we individually champion are connected."I think whether we’re talking about gender inequality, or racism, or queer rights, or indigenous rights, or animal rights, we’re talking about the fight against injustice," he said.
Phoenix called out the way we all so carelessly exploit the world around us, and the way we are so reluctant to change our ways to live more harmoniously with each other and with nature. But, he added, we don't have to be that way. We can"use love and compassion as our guiding principles" to make the world better.
