Joaquin Phoenix talks second chances and providing a 'voice to the voiceless' in Best Actor speechJoaquin Phoenix won the Academy Award for best actor in a leading role for his performance in"Joker" at the 2020 Oscars Sunday.
"I do not feel elevated above any of my fellow nominees or anyone in this room because we share the same love -- the love of film and this form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life," he said."I don't know what I'd be without it.""I think the greatest gift that it has given me, and many of us in this room, is the opportunity to use our voice for the voiceless," he said.
He said that he believes sometimes people"fear the idea of personal change because we think that we have to sacrifice something to give something up." "When we're at our best, when we support each other, not when we cancel each other out for past mistakes, but when we help each other to grow, when we educate each other, when we guide each other toward redemption," he said.
