Lily Gladstone reveals that no one was upset when she lost the Oscar

Lily Gladstone, the leading lady of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ shares a new take on her recent Oscar loss. The actress, renowned for her role in the historic film, revealed that neither she nor her family members were sad when she did not receive the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Gladstone recently told Empire Magazine that she does not believe in “pitting art against art.” She highlighted that her own community, the Blackfeet Nation, wasn’t disappointed by the result.

“Nobody was upset that it didn’t happen,” she stated, referring to her not winning the golden statue. Gladstone emphasized that the film’s impact was more important than any individual accolade.

Gladstone was a top contender with Emma Stone, who eventually won for her performance in ‘Poor Things.’ Despite the expectation, Gladstone and her fans were unconcerned about the loss. She claimed that the Academy Awards organizers had even approached her about handing children cardboard cut-outs of the Oscar statue, ensuring that it would not hurt her feelings. Gladstone thought the gesture truthful and not disrespectful at all.

According to Gladstone, the popularity of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ comes from its plot and the conversations it sparked, rather than from awards. She feels the film “did its job,” having a major effect and connecting with audiences.
