Were you glad Joaquin Phoenix won "Best Actor" this year.?

I had never really given this guy a second thought until I watched his acceptance speech on the Academy awards night. In all my years, I have never witnessed such a moving and heartfelt speech. Not only is he a great actor but a real humanitarian, I was in tears for his compassion and empathy for animals which he values as much as humans.

He ended the speech with a moving quote from his brother, (River) who I'm sure is very proud of him. Since then, I've watched a number of interviews and it's apparent the entire family all share the same ethics and values.

Hope some of you will check out this short but very moving acceptance speech.
