Los Angeles, Feb 10 (IANS): Climate activist Greta Thunberg appeared in an Oscar clip showcasing the power of documentary films.

This was followed by actor Mark Ruffalo announcing the winners in the documentary categories at this year's Oscars ceremony on Sunday night.

    You go Greta. You are making a great difference in the world regarding the climate change. Congratulations on being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. No one deserves it more than you. By the way, I started the "GRETA THE GREAT" and it looks like it is really catching on. Keep up the good work.
