Lily Gladstone wins best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (drama)
Lily Gladstone won the Golden Globe for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (drama) for "Killers of the Flower Moon."
Gladstone is the first Indigenous actor to win a Golden Globe for best actress.
During her acceptance speech, Gladstone spoke using the language of the Blackfeet people.
"I'm so grateful I can speak even a little bit of my language -- which I'm not fluent in -- up here, because in this business, native actors used to speak their lines in English and the sound mixers would run them backwards to accomplish native languages on camera."
"This is a historic win, it doesn't belong to just me," she continued. "This is for every little rez 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…."
