Lily Gladstone makes history

Lily Gladstone, 37, made history by becoming the first Indigenous woman to win the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for her role in 'Killers of the Flower Moon'.

The 37-year-old actress insisted her victory didn't "just belong" to her because of the struggles of the people before her.

She said: "I love everyone in this room right now, thank you. I don't have words. I'm here with my mom who even though she is not Blackfeet worked tirelessly to get our language into our classroom so I had a Blackfeet language teacher growing up ... I'm so grateful that I can speak even a little bit of my language up here because in this business Native actors used to speak their lines in English then the sound mixers used to run them backwards to accomplish Native languages on camera. This is an historic win, it doesn't belong to just me, I'm holding it with all my beautiful sisters in the film at the table over here and my mother, standing on all of your shoulders."
