Jared Leto sure is thankful.

The Dallas Buyers Club star showed his appreciation to just about everyone when he took home best supporting actor at the Independent Spirit Awards Saturday, thanking Justin Bieber and his "future ex-wife Lupita Nyong'o," among others.

Beliebers were also on his list of thanks, as were Wayne Gretsky, Baby Jesus, River Phoenix, Kurt Cobain, as well as "all the women I've been with and all the women who think they've been with me."

"And also my future ex-wife, I'm talking to you Lupita Nyong'o!," he added.

Coincidentally, the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman has been linked to the stunning 12 Years a Slave star, with rumors brewing that the two have struck up a romance.

Nyong'o recently shot that down though, telling Ellen DeGeneres, "Ah, but I thought Miley Cyrus broke us up. That was the last thing I heard."

"It's crazy, ‘cause when I read these rumors, they're so detailed that even I start to question whether they're true or not. I know I've believed them in the past and now I guess I can't believe anything," she continued.

Ex-wife Nyong'o aside, Leto recently revealed he's taking his mom as his date to the Oscars, with the transformative thesp surprising her with the news during a FaceTime chat.

"My mothers face when @shannonleto and I told her she was coming to the #Oscars with us! :)," Jared captioned the Instagram screenshot of the call.

At this awards show though, a source tells E! news Leto was accompanied by a young mystery woman, but it wasn't clear if the duo was more than just friends.
