Gladstone, 37, began her acceptance speech on Sunday, January 7, by speaking in Blackfeet before continuing in English.

Gladstone, the first Indigenous winner in her category, continued: “I am so grateful that I was able to speak even a little bit of my language, which I am not fluent enough in because Indigenous actors used to speak their lines in English. and then the sound mixers would run them backwards to display the native language on camera.

Imagine the worst atrocities committed against them [your] ancestors, and then have to sit through a movie explicitly filled with them, with the only respite being 30-minute scenes of murderous white boys talking about or planning the murders.
Gladstone later acknowledged that the film may be difficult for some people to watch in November 2023 X wire.
“See it when and only when you feel ready, and see it with people you feel safe with. You will probably have to deal with a lot of generational sadness. You are not alone,” she wrote. “I am so proud of the film we made with so many Osage Nation leaders, artists, educators and community activists. Never forget that this story is recent history with a lasting impact on the breathing and feeling of people today. It is theirs, and we can all learn so much from it.”
DiCaprio, meanwhile, talked about his collaboration during a joint interview with Gladstone British Vogue in September 2023.
“Marty just knew instinctively that Lily was the one,” the actor said, noting that there was “truth to it.” [Gladstone’s] eyes” that came through even when Scorcese met her via Zoom. “She carries the entire film and the story.”
