9. Joaquin Phoenix Paying Tribute To His Brother

Joaquin Phoenix finally received his Oscar for Joker. During his speech, he acknowledged the hateful cultures in the world and called for reconciliation. And he capped off his speech with an anecdote about his late brother River Phoenix. He quoted, “When he was 17, my brother wrote this lyric. He said, ‘Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.’”
