Mark Ruffalo grew emotional about climate change in an impassioned speech as he scooped one of the top prizes at the 78th annual Golden Globes from home on Sunday night.
The screen star, 53, was awarded the Best Actor accolade for playing twins Dominick and Thomas Birdsey in I Know This Much Is True, beating out the likes of Bryan Cranston (Your Honor) and Hugh Grant (The Undoing).
Actor Mark called on viewers to save the Earth and seemingly referred to the last few months of Donald Trump’s presidency as he said: ‘We have a dying mother – let’s turn the page on the cruel past of this nation’.

The Avengers star addressed the current state of our planet and urged others to take care of the environment amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Mark detailed: ‘At 54 years it’s my humble belief that what will give us all the sadness and loss that we all live through means is our common humanity, what connects us is greater than what keeps us apart.
‘The more we include each other, and see each other and hear each other, the faster we will heal our broken hearts and minds.
‘We have a dying mother just like the mother in our story. She is mother Earth. And we must come to balance with her and honor her. And she will heal too.
‘So let’s be courageous together, guys and let’s, let’s turn, let’s turn the page on the cruel past of this nation.’

The TV and film star also encouraged others to look towards the future following Joe Biden’s inauguration in January.
He shared: ‘The good news is inclusion and justice and care for mother Earth is breaking out everywhere the godly light of decency is breaking through the hideous dark storm we have been living through.
‘We are the ones we have been waiting for so let’s do this now, I love you.’
Mark has been an advocate of environmental awareness for years, having joined thousands of New Yorkers for the People’s Climate March in September 2014.

In September 2020, leaders from 64 countries signed a 10-point Pledge For Nature, outlining steps to combat climate change by helping the world ‘live in harmony with nature’ by 2050.
Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel and Boris Johnson were among the figure heads who signed the document stating the world is in a ‘state of planetary emergency’ requiring ‘urgent and immediate global action’.
The measures include a pledge to re-double efforts to slow down deforestation, eliminate unregulated and unsustainable fishing practices and stop plastic being dumped into the ocean by 2050.
Elsewhere in the ceremony, Mark thanked his fellow nominees, also including The Comey Rule’s Jeff Daniels and The Good Lord Bird’s Ethan Hawke, as he said: ‘The people I admire and love and look up to. I’m so honored to be here with you.’
The father-of-three expressed his gratitude towards the Hollywood Foreign Press association, HBO and the show’s production team.
The thespian, who accepted his gong alongside his wife Sunrise Coigney and two of his children, explained: ‘Thank my family who lets me go off and bring these crazy people home and they have to live with all these years, thank you guys.

‘The crew carried us through this and my ‘partner and brother [writer-director Derek Cianfrance] for leading with the idea of humanity, however it comes.
[I also thank author Wally Lamb] the beautiful story of the twins, for fractured hearts and minds, for the story of America her brokenness and promise, forgiveness and healing and integration.’
Ruffalo played both brothers Dominick and Thomas, the latter of which suffers from paranoid schizophrenia.
The six-episode series also stars Rob Huebell, Kathryn Hahn, Melissa Leo, Rosie O’Donnell and Archie Panjabi.
