Lily Gladstone made history at the 81st Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday.
The Killers Of The Flower Moon star — who was named Best Actress of 2023 by the New York Film Critics Circle — took home the Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, making her the first Indigenous actor to win an award in the ceremony’s 81-year history.
In Martin Scorsese’s film, Gladstone — who uses she/they pronouns — portrayed Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman whose family members are tragically murdered in a plot to seize their fortune.
Gladstone, whose heritage includes Blackfeet and Nez Perce roots, is now just the second Native actress recognized by the Globes. The first was Irene Bedard, nominated in 1995 for the television movie Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee.
‘This is a historic one, and it doesn’t belong to just me,’ Gladstone said in English, after opening their acceptance speech speaking in the Blackfeet language.

‘I’m holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film and my mother [in the film], Tantoo Cardinal.’
The star then noted that, in the past, Hollywood would create fictional Native languages instead of portraying them accurately and authentically
‘I’m so grateful that I can speak even a little bit of my language because in this business, Native actors used to speak their lines in English and then the sound mixers would run them backwards to accomplish Native languages on camera,’ Gladstone explained.
She then thanked Chief Standing Bear and the Osage Nation as well as Scorsese, and her costars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, for being ‘allies’.
‘This is for every little res kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream, who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by ourselves, in our own words, with tremendous allies and tremendous trust with each other.’
Golden Globes honor the best in film and American television of 2023 – with the glittering ceremony held at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
Oppenheimer secured the title of Best Motion Picture, Drama, and Christopher Nolan took home the directing award for his outstanding work on the movie.
Poor Things claimed the Globe for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.
