He’s done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet for his girlfriends,” The joke referred to DiCaprio’s inclination toward dating younger women. While on stage with two more co-hosts Wanda Skyes and Regina Hall, she also targeted the academy, saying “This year the academy hired three women to host because it’s cheaper than one man”.
