Lily Gladstone reveals that no one was upset when she lost the Oscar, ‘It is irrelevant’

Lily Gladstone was nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for her exceptional performance in Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’. Gladstone lost the award to Emma Stone for ‘Poor Things’.

The ‘Certain Women’ star recently revealed that no one back home at the Blackfeet Nation was upset at her losing the Academy Award. According to reports, some leaders of the Blackfeet Nation just assumed that Gladstone would be coming home with the award, especially since her performance was being lauded as the best of the year. She was also sweeping the awards season.

“It was funny, the organisers of the event called me beforehand and they said that they’d got a bunch of little cardboard cut-outs of gold-man statues that looked like an Oscar, to give to the kids. They asked if that was okay, or if it was gonna hurt my feelings. I said: ‘No, absolutely not.’ That’s just the whole thing of award campaigns and the competitive nature of pitting art against art. Clearly this film, in this moment, had meaning. It did its job,” Gladstone told an entertainment portal.

She continued, “But yeah, nobody was upset that it didn’t happen. When the Golden Globe happened, a lot of people who are very far away from the industry just kind of thought it was the Oscars. It’s about the fact that the film has been awarded and it’s historic, and it’s still just a really meaningful moment. So it’s irrelevant whether or not I walked home with that statue in hand.”
