Joaquin Phoenix is going to wear the same suit to all of the big award show events this year as a means to reduce waste. The actor has been nominated for several top honors for his work as Arthur Fleck in Joker, already having taken home a Golden Globe for his performance. After sporting a Stella tuxedo at the awards event on Sunday night, Phoenix revealed he will be wearing that same suit for the rest of the awards season. "Contrary to popular belief, I don't want to rock the boat, but the boat is f-cking rocked," Phoenix said during his Golden Globe acceptance speech.

The actor encouraged those in the room with him to do their part, as well. "It's great to vote, but sometimes we have to take on that responsibility on ourselves and make changes and sacrifices in our own lives and I hope that we can do that," he said. "We don't have to take private jets to Palm Springs...Thank you so much for putting up with me, I'm so grateful."

Now, it is revealed that he will not only talk the talk but also walk the walk in his designer suit.

"We all know there's no f-cking competition between us," Phoenix said while accepting his Golden Globe. "I'm your f-cking student. I can't believe the beautiful mesmerizing, unique work that you've all done this year, but I really do feel honored to be mentioned with you." Joker also won the Golden Globe for best original score.

What do you think of Phoenix's choice to wear the same suit for all of the current awards season shows? Is this symbolic step in reducing waste enough? Share your thoughts in the comment section or send them my way on Instagram and Twitter.
