Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is celebrating its Oscars win with the DVD and Blu-Ray of The Revenant. Before its official release date, check out the critically acclaimed film from Alejandro G. Iñárritu starring the most talked performance from Leonardo DiCaprio.

As we previously mentioned, The Revenant follows the story of legendary explorer Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) as he endures his tumultuous quest for survival and justice. After a brutal bear attack leaves him incapacitated, Glass is left for dead by a treacherous and greedy member of his hunting team, John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Against extraordinary odds as his thirst for vengeance grows stronger, Glass has to endure a relentless winter as he grunts and crawl his way through uncharted terrain.

As transcribed by The Verge, The Departed actor ended his speech on a big note about the environment, "Climate change is real, it is happening right now, it is the most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to work collectively and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world ... who speak for all of humanity."

During the awards ceremony, the period piece/survival film was honored with Best Actor, Best Director and Best Cinematography. According to Broadway World, the special features include "A World Unseen" - A Documentary of The Revenant .

As quoted by The Guardian, the Birdman director, who won two times in a row, asked society to "liberate ourselves from all prejudice" to make sure the "color of our skin becomes as irrelevant as the length of our hair."

Check out the best moments from the Catch Me if You Can actor from his acceptance speech, making the internet go crazy:

The Revenant arrives on Digital HD March 22. Then the Academy award winning film arrives on Blu-ray and DVD April 19.
