Everything about her is calming- her voice, her cadence; her mannerisms. So elegant and a worthy woman!

[@LizBond-oq2hg]

@@TruthOnly24 She is a Native American woman who carries hundreds of years generational experience and history of mistreatment and "almost" genocidal treatment of her people on her shoulders which forms her world views. Which she uses in her career to teach non-believers. What do you have to share with the USA and Canadian people both Native and Anglo and Migrant Americans and Canadians? You are typically boring. Entertaining is an illusion; Lily knows they difference between reality and illusion because of her background.

[@lesliewoolnough7871]

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

[@whatknotcovfefe]

@lesliewoolniygh7871 say that VA are going to use () MDA () the illegal street drugs on all veterans. So they are creating a need of (Black market MDA) What I do not understand is obiden and Trump giving everyone thousands of dollars except Homeless Vets. Now all you hear on news is call and get you a 6k stimulus check? And who are these people getting these checks.,? And have they not been giving all this free money to veterans? They bail out Billionaires with trillions of dollars, they print imaginary money to give to congressmen who threaten to shut the usa down..then congress uses all that free cash to buy stock. Then put on News that the stock market is booming into a sharp Bull. When really people are starving? And the government obiden to giving 14,ooo stimulus free money to certain people while other people are starving? All because his children and he is indicted????

[@reneehigbee7946]

I love her!!

[@whatknotcovfefe]

It is extremely sad to think -concerning the movie, that secret society Mason whether racist or otherwise could act in a manner that the german Hitler would up scale model to be more efficient add gas chambers. As an actor LGladstone did an excellent job. The character -How does a person and in general population act when they whole community is being drugged with out their knowledge. The one character said he felt funny he called it melancholy :: a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause. "an air of melancholy surrounded him" Their was close to 500000 murders during that time frame. Short time the population of the natives dropped 2200 how crazy is that. And the masonic lodges are still in the town. How crazy is that. All those billions stolen from all Americans even today the usa is so broke that Congress threatens that If they don't get a raise- they will quit and the government will shut down... How many of them are MASONS? THIS movie is not well researched but there was enough for the 3 hr+30min . Keep In mind it would really take 20 hours of movie to even get close to showing 20 % of all the Masonic murders that seem to be tied as task masters in this historical and current part of the American down fall. Good job mr. Scorsese mr.Deniro Mr Decapiro, Mrs. Gladstone. And all the other not to mention the local s.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@wuodbonde]

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

[@tyrellgrey6153]

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

[@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.”

[@oscaranthony9652]

She should be winning the Oscar . period

[@michaelschiessl8357]

And she will win the Oscar!!

[@user-ss8rk1dy6f]

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.

[@adultishbambino7296]

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

[@karlafranco4779]

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

[@maggiebodek]

What a woman. She is brilliant.

[@sohailajaved3278]

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

[@SomaGyal]

She’s so eloquent and clear ❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

She’s so awesome ❤

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@shoWbitz]

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

[@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!*

[@sistersuetube]

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

[@AImaniaX]

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

[@KCNwokoye]

Wow what a heart breaking reality for these indigenous tribes.

[@joydeep6582]

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

[@heatheryi]

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

[@jasmineliddington]

Incredible speech. Powerful.

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

[@JulieBullard-zc5gv]

What a beautiful soul she has❤ Thank you lily

[@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.

[@mellowscorpio]

Always take time to listen to Lily

[@JojoJojo-qr5ye]

Lilly is a beacon of light !!!

[@nataliavillanuevaasca7298]

She is beautiful 💜

[@tracyintexas4743]

So beautiful...so classy.

[@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

[@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.

[@adamquiles2468]

She and everyone else in the cast deserve recognition

[@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.

[@chandrapeskin4070]

Such grace & eloquence👏🏽💖

[@Sgab1007]

Bravo Lily! Much respect

Fantastic Lillie

[@teresaalvarado3018]

Uplift in honesty. Truth.

[@abdeldorado]

Movie of the year, by far.

[@detroiter5432]

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

[@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.

[@theck672]

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

[@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.

[@paison318]

What an amazing woman! Wow!

[@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)

[@rosep.2960]

Congratulations!! This is amazing 👏 🙌 😍

[@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❤❤❤❤❤.

[@lorisharpe]

Perfectly put… bravo to you for saying it

[@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 💯🕊️💜🕊️🎆

[@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.

[@misssuestar5]

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

[@donatellaopheliapodze7464]

This is a speech!

[@texanperry]

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

[@saintcaine1fan]

She’s lovely

[@CandiceLikes]

What a beautiful human. ❤

[@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 😎🌷👸🌺💪🏆🙏💝 ~

[@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

[@TienDuong-vt9ks]

She is beautiful in and out

[@sylviabrink871]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@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.

[@mra2010]

Leo and Lily 🎉

[@heartliss]

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

[@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.

[@stevencampbell365]

Go Strong Beautiful Lady 💪🙏

[@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!

[@belinda8855]

Definitely should win the Oscar

[@solomonkassa778]

#LilyGladstone ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥,#leoDicaprio Thank you for being always generous🧡🧡♥♥♥♥

[@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”.

[@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

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Wishing you much more success and good fortune, dear Lily. 🪶

[@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
