When he accepted the award, Leo did the usual rundown of thanks – parents, costars, and his director. He then focused his attention to the issue of Global Warming, urging those in positions of power (and not) to take the cause seriously.
So what do you think ComicBook.com readers? Are you glad to finally see Leo win?
