On Monday, January 8, she became the first Indigenous person to win Best Actress at the Golden Globes. Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone delivered a poignant acceptance speech that moved her co-stars. "I hope the countdown doesn't tick by too quickly because it's a historic victory," she said. I'm so grateful to be able to express myself even a little bit in my language, which I don't speak fluently. Because in this industry, indigenous actors used to say their lines in English, before the sound engineers played them backwards in the film." This practice was intended to "imitate" the so-called Indigenous sounds on screen.

Three 'allies'
Lily Gladstone also thanked her loved ones. "This victory doesn't belong to me alone," she continued. I'm holding this trophy right now, on behalf of all the people who play my beautiful sisters in the movie, sitting at that table over there, and my mother, Tantoo Cardinal. It wouldn't have been possible without you." She also addressed her film partners, who were particularly touched by this plea. "Thank you, Marty [Martin Scorsese]," she said. Thank you, Leo (Leonardo DiCaprio). Thank you Bob (Robert de Niro, editor's note). You change all things. Thank you for being such allies." A speech during which one would have thought to see a few tears beading at the edge of the eyelids of the said Leonardo DiCaprio.
