When a good son shows gratitude, respect and love to his mom, he becomes a man. The courage in acknowledging and giving gratitude to his mother in front of millions speaks volume of who Jared Leto is as a person. I am not a fan of Jared but, when I heard his speech, I admire him so much..
He loves his family and friends sincerely because he acknowledges them too.
Mentioning Ukraine and Venezuela tells me that Jared is a no-nonsense actor and clearly aware of what's going on in the world. He has compassion for others. As he accepted the Best Supporting Actor Award for his role as Rayon in the movie Dallas Buyer's Club, his speech is one of my favorite highlights in the Academy Awards night (2014 Oscars).
"In 1971. Bossier City, Louisiana. A teenage girl finds out she's pregnant with her second child. She's a high school drop out. A single mom. But against all odds, she manages to make a better life for herself and her children. She teaches them to be creative. To work hard. And reach for the impossible. That girl is my mother and she's here tonight. Mom, I love you thank you for teaching me to dream.
To my brother, Shannon. Thank you for sharing the incredible adventure with me that is Thirty Seconds to Mars. You are a true artist and the best big brother in the world.
To all the dreamers around the world watching this right now, from the Ukraine to Venezuela - We think of you as you struggle to bring to life the dreams that fill your heart. The impossible is possible, and we believe.
To the amazing Focus Features, Jean Marc. Matthew. Jennifer. The entire Dallas Buyers team. Mick Sullivan. Jim Toth. Robin Baum. Jason Weinberg. Emma Ludbrook and Cali Adams. Thank you for the faith.
This is for the 36 million brave souls who lost their lives to AIDS.
And to anyone who ever felt injustice because of who they are or who they love. Tonight, I stand before the world, with you and for you."
