Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his first Oscar for his performance on The Revenant on Sunday night, after four previous unsuccessful nominations. The actor used his lengthy acceptance speech to deliver a lecture on climate change, and was able to speak for a longer period than other winners when the producers failed to play 'wrap-it-up' music as he used up hi allotted time.
DiCaprio said: 'Climate change is real. It is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species ... Let us not take our planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted.' Brie Larson, right , took home Best Actress in a Leading Role, beating out Jennifer Lawrence and Cate Blanchett for the top honor.
