Lily Gladstone Chokes Up Accepting an Award from Leonardo DiCaprio at Variety's Power of Women

[@lesliewoolnough7871]

This was heartbreaking, you can hear the sadness in her voice when talking about her brothers and sisters

[@reneehigbee7946]

I love her!!

[@youdontwanttoseeme8717]

It‘s women especially who are murdered so she cries about women

[@Silliestgoose418]

Lily is just as amazing as I hoped she was. Lily’s words are important and the US and Canadian governments need to act now.

[@monicadoll30]

❤❤❤❤love her already! Power to all the native Americans!

[@karlenejohn4904]

I agree.

[@gracegreen1859]

Why do you leave out Latin America? Have you seen Brazil? That amazon is in trouble.

[@torinp914]

Wow. As a proud Crow/Piikani Blackfeet woman, sitting here watching this I feel like I’m watching something historical happen here. She’s doing something for us that so many have tried so hard to do. & on their shoulders of course, thank you for emerging as a new impactful leader for us. You’re paving ways, Lily, and opening doors that have been sealed shut or hidden away for so many generations. Not just that but for you to do it as a Native WOMAN, it just means so so much.

[@crisppxls]

It's great that this movie has given her a platform to raise awareness for these important issues , what a wonderful actress and woman.

[@tel5690]

I saw a small documentary on Lily and you can automatically tell how grounded and open she is about her background and heritage. Amazing woman and spiritually gifted and beautiful all in one. Glad that she is spreading awareness and understanding about native culture and its history and problems. Congrats to Leo DiCaprio as well for his activism in this as well.

[@thamertanner5448]

Do you remember what the documentary was called?

[@cleanslate2004]

I'm glad Lilly framed Leo's approach to the charactor the way she did, because the bottom line is he always draws alotta attention to the subject matter. Most knew nothing about this story, before this movie, but Scorsese's collaboration with Leo, Robert & Lily demanded our attention.

[@jody-annesullivan4547]

Love how her speech had very few I, me, my statements, and the award was barely even acknowledged. Instead it was on the incredible work of others, highlighting facts of the issues, and giving grace to Leonardo and the table of ladies there for THEIR work and activism.

[@wuodbonde]

I have a lot of respect and admiration for this woman. Wonderful actress and a seemingly wonderful human being too.

[@reneebyrne1361]

Sat in tears watching this incredible woman speak the heartbreaking truth about native women’s plights. Thanks to Leo and the film for giving their story this platform. I hope with everything I have that this leads to a strengthening of their protection and that the laws are created to achieve this soon. What kind of ignorance allows this. Shameful, barbaric reality happening in the USA. Change must come. Sending my love and wishes to Lily and all the native women suffering this torture. You are incredible xxx

[@annalisavajda252]

Well oil and greed were also topics of the film Leo is a bit of a climate activist in his own way too.

[@karlafranco4779]

She’s not only an amazing act actress but a beautiful soul congratulations 🎉 ❤

[@tyrellgrey6153]

Congratulation Lily Gladstone 👏👏👏👏 you deserve a Oscar for Best Actress for your performance in Killer Of The Flower Moon 💯

[@stephcre8]

"We are far from defeat." Beautiful and so powerful. Thank You!

[@adultishbambino7296]

Please give her some roles of substance…she is sooooo strong. Such power in her presence. ❤

[@devi_47]

THIS ! I mean I see random people hating on Leo but the truth is, people who ACTUALLY know him, know how good hearted and dedicated he is towards these things also love lily ❤ she seems so pure

[@jj-if6it]

He does a lot of work people don't know about, about helping indigenous communities and protecting indigenous lands

[@kasienkakaminska6915]

Power of women😊

[@kasienkakaminska6915]

Leo super star

[@stacysmith7387]

Agreed! F the haters called “paid for by corporations.”

[@sohailajaved3278]

Amazing, authentic, so dignified and spiritually strong. Lily is worthy of deep respect, admiration, and gratitude. Thank you, Lily.

[@maggiebodek]

What a woman. She is brilliant.

[@oscaranthony9652]

She should be winning the Oscar . period

[@michaelschiessl8357]

And she will win the Oscar!!

[@КлараКожакей]

Она достойна Оскара ! ❤❤❤

[@patriciasmith5083]

Sadly it instead went to Emma Stone for a dumb movie that was basically porn. Sad that that's what won an Oscar.

[@babywah3290]

Lily is incredibly smart and talented. It’s about time that her talent is noticed by the world.❤❤

[@MissKMR]

Lily is beautiful inside and out 💐❤

[@SomaGyal]

She’s so eloquent and clear ❤

[@Airbubblepodcast]

Of course if they have to pick a man to be there it be Leo! Loved him my whole life not just as a actor but a human being. There’s just a realism with him that goes beyond his art. He truly wants to do something impactful and he always puts himself 100 percent in his roles. I can’t say I ever hated any of the movies he’s been in because he always kills it every time so of course I’ll be seeing this! I saw the trailer and I was like 😮 woah I gotta see this. Haven’t even seen it and I’m already also really liking Lilly Gladstone. I look forward to her career blossoming. I’m glad they are sharing the truest story of a historical event because it’s time for the Native Americans to have their story told and with accuracy. I know they have trusted many Hollywood directors that didn’t do a good job of telling the truth. This time that we are living in is all about the narrative shifting, let’s tell everyone’s story not just a white males perspective. We need everyone to be heard!

[@FariedaLukie]

Are Palestinians eligible for sympathy

[@katrinamenzies9398]

And women over 25?

[@normabarajas1433]

❤*My heart goes out to Lily and all of these tremendously courageous people. The people of her Nation, the brave women, children and the men!! I 'tip my hat off' to her!*

[@AA-qb7ni]

Such an elegant lovely woman. I'm so happy for Lily's success ❤

[@lyndsey6040]

Her small part in Rez Dogs was the role that stood out most to me in the entire series. I ran to see KOTFM because of HER! Can’t wait to see what she does next!!

[@sistersuetube]

Brilliant actress and articulate activist. Leo has certainly met his match. Sometimes a quiet calm voice is the loudest.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

She’s so awesome ❤

[@biggothepiggo]

Leo seems so in awe of her and I get it. I mean, I'm in awe of her too. The situation with missing and murdered indigenous women is something we should be so ashamed of and something we need to solve ASAP. It needs to stop.

[@mariahbull4620]

Both Lily and Leo are amazing !! ❤❤

[@yvonneplant9434]

I saw her in a little seen film a few years ago, Certain Women. It was clear in that movie she is extremely talented.

[@priscilla3738]

You are an amazing powerhouse ❤ thank you for all your tremendous advocacy efforts for All. indigenous women and children!

[@anger101]

An incredible actress. Such an important message.

[@iamyoda1980]

She’s so gorgeous and articulate

[@flordemariagamboasoliz1122]

Beautiful voice, standpoints and thorough convictions about women's strength and constructive resistance

[@shoWbitz]

I love her. She's amazing in the film 👏❤️

[@berkc06]

She is so powerful in this movie. I love it.

[@JojoJojo-qr5ye]

Lilly is a beacon of light !!!

[@heatherweathr]

She is absolutely magnificent and a force of nature. The most beautiful woman in the world i fear

[@luzoliveira9920]

So beautiful how they both uplift each other. I’m a very Leo fan and is been years since I didn’t felt he had such a strong connection and admiration with a female co star. They really bond together

[@mellowscorpio]

Always take time to listen to Lily

[@KCNwokoye]

Wow what a heart breaking reality for these indigenous tribes.

[@joydeep6582]

She deserves Leo as a gift in her life ❤❤❤❤

[@jlidd]

Incredible speech. Powerful.

[@elitewellnesstraining]

Lily is such a Beautiful and Classy lady!

[@kimmychristensen2747]

I read the book & saw the movie. (Book) excellent research, (Movie) phenomenal acting by every actor. Thank you all for the best 3.5 hr. portrayal of the Osage killings...may all involved, now rest in peace. I am sorry this actually happened.

[@petunia8475]

I knew from Reservation Dogs she has a strong presence and a powerful voice. I love her and congratulations Lily Gladstone

[@KatKramer1]

Way to go Lily Gladstone! Keep on keeping on.

[@adamquiles2468]

She and everyone else in the cast deserve recognition

[@detroiter5432]

I sincerely love this lady. So well spoken, honest & fortright. She deserves all the accolades coming too her. ❤

[@kellyrobtoy7399]

It wasn’t all that long ago that John Wayne had to be restrained from actually punching a Native American woman onstage at the Oscars. Thank God we are at least taking steps in the right direction on this issue.

[@JulieBullard-zc5gv]

What a beautiful soul she has❤ Thank you lily

[@abdeldorado]

Movie of the year, by far.

[@teresarodriguez821]

Lily has such an amazing presence, her intelligence, intuition and incredible ability to create a character who is strong, at times non verbal but emotional and culturally sensitive is all encompassing of her own person a strength to tribal peoples.

[@teresaalvarado3018]

Uplift in honesty. Truth.

[@billyball8975]

These are the “celebrities” we should prop up. Those who stand for something, use their fame to bring awareness, and stand up for what they believe. Not the cowards in Hollywood who cannot even call for a ceasefire when the world is watching children being slaughtered.

[@hoperene2172]

She is a special human for sure!! Saw the movie it was hard for me to watch because there is a special place in my heart for all the native american nations and what the white americans have done to them. The film was well done and top notch acting of course. My hear t goes south to the Osage tribe❤❤❤❤❤.

[@frankpaquet295]

I love this woman and I knew nothing about her before this movie and these awards, so very well deserved. The Indigenous/Native peoples, so deserve all of the good things that come their way. The women that have to endure the things that none of the rest of us think about, are such strong survivors. Thank you for this Lily Gladstone and thank you to Leo DiCaprio too; he is definitely an activist that is needed to join the People in their ongoing work. Governments need to get more involved with this. Maybe this is a small start to more involvement. Let's hope so. (from Sandi)

[@nataliavillanuevaasca7298]

She is beautiful 💜

[@tracyintexas4743]

So beautiful...so classy.

[@Sgab1007]

Bravo Lily! Much respect

[@DancewithSuzaa]

It’s tragic what happened but amazing to see how her tribe community is finally getting the much deserved attention through the lens and voice of celebrated artists like Leonardo Martin Scorsese. Guys am I the only 1 who thinks Leo and lily makes perfect pair they r both activists and incredible actors.

[@StefiRose]

yes, you are the only one. and one other so far wrote a comment hinting at such

[@texanperry]

Lily is such a beautifully well spoken woman. I’m really impressed with her and her acting in Killers of the Flower Moon.

[@almariera9751]

It is truly sad that the pain from the past is not over yet...most of it due to ignorance and fear of what makes us different, rather than what we have in common. Heritage is a sacred thing to everyone...but embracing one another is also important.

[@willperryman4559]

What a tragedy we have allowed to occur 😢😢😢 I have the highest respect and praise for Lily,who has worked so hard along with these other tribeswomen and I am so happy this film has been created and recognized…… We may not understand or see that our history has attempted to destroy the native tribes and if we do nothing to save them now, we will become them in our future 😮😢 May The Great Spirit Bless you Lily, and all of the tribes you work with and represent 💯🕊️💜🕊️🎆

[@chandrapeskin4070]

Such grace & eloquence👏🏽💖

[@trenae77]

Leo is not afraid to take on ugly parts for a movie that lets others around him shine. It’s something I’ve always respected of him as an actor. As for Lily, her place in history brings light on two nations - the Osage, who were the subject of the Killers of the Flower Moon, and the Blackfeet, who are her own people. So grateful she was recognized for her work, and that she is willing to acknowledge the efforts of others to get the story across.

[@edithlazenby5839]

I respect Leo even more...thank you for your support for Lily...and to all the Indigenous people and their quest for the TRUTH.

[@КлараКожакей]

Какая потрясающая , красивая и спокойная женщина. ❤ Он должна выиграть Оскар , она достойна этой награды . ❤❤❤

[@brianm2850]

Sacheen Littlefeather in "Counselor at Crime" (1973) was the real MVP.

[@JohnBarrylizard]

It was an amazing movie. I couldn't believe it was real. Even after reading Howard Zinn, and visiting welcoming nations, this movie shocked me. Great, compelling movie everyone should see. Should be taught in school right next to a Raisin in the Sun.

[@yasminhelenendangeredspecies]

Good on You Lily! -- For speaking the truth about what is and has been happening with SO MANY Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women 😭 and nothing is ever done about it! Their famies have tried everything to find them and no one helps them. They file tons of reports and nothing is ever done 😭. I think you are an Amazing Trailblazing Woman and feel like you are literally on the cusp of a Brilliant Exciting Lifetime of great Acting career just awaiting you to step into. I can see you doing so many amazing pictures. Maybe a Louise Erdrich Novel? Just wishful thinking... Sending you Very Much Love Lily 💝 I Hope you get the Oscar because you did an Outstanding job playing Molly. My heart just hurt so badly for Molly😢 and she was SO Strong!Brave Onwards and bring your StarShine because it is BRIGHT! Brightest Blessings to you 😎🌷👸🌺💪🏆🙏💝 ~

[@paison318]

What an amazing woman! Wow!

[@saintcaine1fan]

She’s lovely

[@lorisharpe]

Perfectly put… bravo to you for saying it

[@emillion4470]

Honestly, I have yet to finish FOTKM. Not because of its length but the visceral pain it elicits watching a systematic massacre of a gentle people - doubly horrific because it is based in fact. Still, I keep returning but have to stop midway. This film has real power, beauty and brutality. Gladstone's presence, spirit and performance conveys authenticity and skill in its simplicity and depth.

[@girlpaintsworld]

Killers of the Flower Moon was my favorite movie of 2023!

[@jasonjamieson1690]

I know exactly how you feel.

[@donatellaopheliapodze7464]

This is a speech!

[@theck672]

Very well said. Thank you for the education and call to action.

[@TienDuong-vt9ks]

She is beautiful in and out

[@jrav5998]

I hope we continue to see her acting in more things with all variety. Pigeonholing is what Hollywood loves to do. Especially indigenous people or anyone deemed “different”.

[@rosep.2960]

Congratulations!! This is amazing 👏 🙌 😍

[@thamertanner5448]

So that's how you pronounce Osage! First time hearing it spoken, I thought it was O-sa-gee. Haven't had an opportunity to see the movie yet though I know the backstory. I was talking with my aunt about it a couple months ago and she was trying to correct me on the tribe, I don't even know what she was saying or if it was a real tribe but she kept trying to correct me, it was very annoying. We ended up watching American Buffalo together and I found out my aunt didn't know anything at all about what was done to the buffalo or the Native peoples. I was truly shocked as I learned about all of that in school. For context I'm in my early 30s and my aunt is in her late 60s. Crazy how much times have changed. I'm very glad we now have a very Native American focused education, we learn about all our local tribes, colonial/Indigenous relations, and about the slaughter and rounding up of the Natives and the buffalo. I would guess these days they also mention those horrible schools as well. We still have a long way to go but we have come so far in how we educate about and treat our Indigenous siblings. I'm so glad this movie and this incredible woman are getting so much attention!

[@bundleshairca]

Wow the stories of the violence against women from her pov are so powerful

[@misssuestar5]

Wonderful….and STRONG! She’s an inspiration!!!

[@SerenaLaws-Kilt-This]

Speak Sister! ❤✊🏾

[@CandiceLikes]

What a beautiful human. ❤

[@heartliss]

She is just such a stunning beautiful women she deserves the whole world I worship Lily Gladstone

[@belinda8855]

Definitely should win the Oscar

[@lesliewoolnough7871]

I hope to see the movie asap Marriage should always be Love First and it’s also secondly a bit of a buisness deal , Love of course is a way more important to get right , Communication about both is how marriage works I think

[@jc626]

How annoying to have ads for Jack Daniel's randomly appear when she's talking about serious issues.

[@tracyintexas4743]

Omg...right when she broke down and said, "I'm sorry" 🤦‍♀️

[@StefiRose]

yes, i guess the ads coordinator wanted us to have a "jackd" up moment

[@mra2010]

Leo and Lily 🎉

[@zaren113]

I am from a tribe in northeast India and what the British Raj did was no voice and no source at all 😢. Sometimes I feel no difference between the law and humanity.

[@Lama12339]

I just love her poise beauty and the way she talks . Pretty much bet she’s going to get into politics.

[@lindakovacs7904]

Your incredible spirit and dedication to bringing the truths concerning tribal violences and are now voiced with clarity.... and your mission is partly through the incredible skill as an actress of the highest regards and needs to be continued because it is a mission way over due and these amazing women are chosen in doing just that . You are respected and held in our hearts for doing so and you will always be essential and loved . Thank you for being you .

[@sandramorey2529]

To all the people who made this telling of the osage story possible, my hats off to you. Among the first ,after the uprooting of the Indian peoples, was the overthrow of the Hawaiian Queen, Liliuokalani, by Missionary descendents who were in her cabinet along with 50 US Marines. Hawaii has accepted their occupation, but indigenous people live on the beaches and in the parks while foreigners run the big businesses and strip the ordinary people of their native wealth. Their has never been a treaty of annexation and this illegal overthrow must be righted. Beautiful presentation, Lily.

[@rocknroam4]

this is the type of woman Leo SHOULD be dating. what does he see in these 20 yr olds

[@TheCherryviolet]

Beautifil speech and knowledge bombs
