Joaquin Phoenix and his Oscar-worthy roles

Joaquin Phoenix is standing up for what he believes in. Less than two days after accepting his Best Actor Oscar with a speech that was largely about animal rights, the 45-year-old actor helped to liberate a cow and her newborn calf from a Los Angeles slaughterhouse.

There is no denying that Amul comes up with some of the best advertisements to celebrate a milestone. Be it India winning a tournament or Billie Eilish winning the most Grammys this year, Amul always finds a way to incorporate their brand ambassador into the event. Oscars 2020 was no exception. The Indian brand celebrated Joaquin Phoenix's win at the 92nd Academy Awards. The Joker actor bagged the Best Actor in the Leading Role at the awards ceremony over the weekend. 

Last night, Joaquin Phoenix won big at the 2020 Academy Awards taking home best actor for his role as Arthur Fleck in Joker. Giving an impassioned speech against the dairy industry, and paying tribute to his late brother, River Phoenix, his name quickly began to trend worldwide. With more than one million Google searches yesterday alone, it seems everyone is keen to know more about the actor.

Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara, two of Hollywood's most acclaimed actors, are also one of the most low-key power couples. There have, however, been a handful of tender moments from their years-spanning relationship.

Joaquin Phoenix honored his late brother River Phoenix during his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards on Sunday night (Feb. 9).While accepting the best actor Oscar for his performance in Joker, Phoenix touched on a number of issues including cancel culture, animal activism, racism and gender equality before quoting a song lyric written by his brother, who passed away from a drug overdose outside Los Angeles' famed Viper Room in 1993 at the age of 23.

The 92nd Academy Awards show ended on a high note. Parasite was undeniably the star of the awards show this year as it bagged four major awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (presented to Bong Joon Ho.) While the South Korean drama brought the Dolby Theatre down with their wins, Oscar 2020 played witness to some powerful speeches.

To say that it was a monumental night, in Oscars' history, would be an understatement! And, we have Bong Joon-ho to thank for that! With his brilliant film Parasite, the filmmaker made history at Oscars 2020 as not just the first South Korean movie but the first non-English language film to ever take home the coveted Oscar for Best Picture. Parasite also won the Academy Award for Directing for Bong, International Feature Film and Original Screenplay for Bong and Kwak Sin-ae.

Joaquin Phoenix was already a shoo-in from the very beginning for the Actor in a Leading Role category at Oscars 2020, as he dominated most of the award season this year for his fabulous performance as Arthur Fleck in Joker.

Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix championed a string of progressive causes as he used his best actor acceptance speech to rally against the dairy industry.
