Emma Stone broke a lot of hearts on Sunday when she beat out Lily Gladstone for the best actress academy at the 96th Academy Awards.
Gladstone, Siksikaitsitapii and Nimíipuu, was nominated for their role as Mollie Burkhart in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The Martin Scorsese film depicts the Osage Reign of Terror, which involved a series of 1920s murders of Osage people by non-Natives who killed them for their oil headrights.
Stone won for her role in “Poor Things” and also beat out Sandra Hüller (“Anatomy of a Fall”), Annette Bening (“Nyad”) and Carey Mulligan (“Maestro”).
Many saw Gladstone and Stone as frontrunners for the award. Gladstone won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for their role as Burkhart.
