Leonardo DiCaprio - 73rd Golden Globe Awards Acceptance Speech for Best Actor (2016) lyrics

Wow thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. What an incredible honor wow, that meant a lot thank you so much. Thank you to the HFPA and to the other fantastic performances in this category you guys were unbelievable, what a terrific year in film. Two years ago we found ourselves submerged deep in nature with all it's complications and all the beauty that it gave us cinematically. This film was about survival, it was about adaptation, it was about the triumph of the human spirit but more than anything it was about trust, and there is no-one more deserving of that trust than our director Alejandro Iñárritu. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this journey with you. Your leadership, your vision, your accute attention to making everyday so visceral and real for us, I've never had an experience like this in my entire life. The depths to which he and [?] and the entire crew went through was unfathomable. And I really want to thank the actors that I got to stand shoulder to shoulder with in this film, in particular my good friend Tom Hardy, who is a beast an unbelieveable talent. He was there every single day. Who I know in real life would never bury me alive and leave me out in the cold to die like that. My make-up artist, Sian Grigg you're an unbelieveable talent thank you for all the genius you brought to this movie. I have to thank all the people involved in making this film, Mary Parent, Steve Golin, Brad Weston, Jim Gianopulos, but Arnon Milchan there is no on in this industry that would stick with a film like this to it's bitter end. You are the champion of this film. My entire team, Jen, Sean, Rick, Steve, Cretchen, Rick, thank you for pushing me constantly, to make choices like this. My parents, I love you dearly. My friends, you know who you are. And lastly I wanna share this award with first nation's people represented in this film, and all the indigenous communities around the world. It is time that we recognize your history, and that we protect you indigenous lands. From corporate interests and people that are out there to exploit them. It is time that we heard your voice and protect this planet for future generations. Thank you very much.
