Lily Gladstone, the first Native American nominee for Best Actress, expresses anger over losing the award to Emma Stone at the 96th annual Academy Awards. Gladstone's performance in Killers of the Flower Moon received widespread acclaim for her portrayal of Mollie Burkhart and the real-life murders of the Osage Nation. The killings were part of a plot to steal their oil-rich land in 1920s Oklahoma.
Lily Gladstone was nominated for Best Actress at the 96th annual Academy Awards for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon—and many people are furious she lost to Emma Stone . If Gladstone had won on Sunday, she would have been the first Native American person ever to win an Academy Award.
Gladstone received near-universal acclaim for her performance as real-life figure Mollie Burkhart in the film, which chronicled the series of real-life murders of members of the Osage Nation, known as the Reign of Terror. Set in 1920s Osage County, Oklahoma, the killings were part of a plot to steal the rights to their oil-rich land. Gladstone, who is from the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, previously made history when she was first nominated for the award as she became the first Native American woman to be put forward. However, she is not the first indigenous nominee for Best Actress, with previous contenders including Yalitza Aparicio for 2018's Roma and Keisha Castle-Hughes for 2003's Whale Rider. Both women also didn't go on to win the award
