When “Killers of the Flower Moon” was released at the Cannes Film Festival last year, no one knew what to expect. But, after the 9-minute standing ovation everyone knew this film was something special.

Last April, just before the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, we spoke to Osage News editor Shannon Shaw Duty on what to expect. 

Lily Gladstone’s mother is an educator and the actor says that had a major impact on her career. ICT’s Renata Birkenbuel asked Gladstone how education and teaching has guided her as a performer. 

  • A historic moment at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards as Lily Gladstone became the first Native woman to win the Best Actress award for her outstanding performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” During her acceptance speech, Gladstone expressed gratitude being able to speak Blackfeet and emphasized that her historic win belongs to the entire community. 
  • Now, Gladstone has made even more history by becoming the first Native American woman nominated for Best Actress in the 2024 Oscars. 
  • Another Oscar nomination goes to Scottt George for Best Original Song composed for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” George wrote and performed “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People.) 
  • During the Oscars on Sunday, March 10, our team will be giving live updates during the broadcast of the award ceremony. We’ll also be checking in on several watch parties through the evening. Stay connected with ICT as we root for Lily to win one of Hollywood’s top prizes!
