Music and Lyric by Scott George

An absolute shame how it took this long for a Native American song to receive an Oscar nomination.

[@samuelbarber6177]

And the actual award goes to someone who’d already won, fairly recently as well. Which kind of sums up this movie’s reception at the Oscars in general.

[@jordanfelix4416]

@@samuelbarber6177The award when to a song that contains lyrics… I think that’s a good start for a songwriting award.

[@___3988]

​@@jordanfelix4416you do realize lyrics can be in languages other than english, right?

[@meirasanya]

​@jordanfelix4416 you have to write music; it doesn't just appear magically. And this song has lyrics, you may not understand them but they're there in a language that predates English on the continent of America.

It's an absolute shame that this film did not win any awards that night. I was hoping this song would win, and that Lily would win. Congrats to the other winners, but this movie is the real winner in my book.

[@loekskywalker_9855]

It’s sad that main media didn’t even post about this, way more impressive than whatever gosling or eilish did in my opinion.

[@heygoodbyee]

They actually did post about this lol is it hard making shit up?

Só true I was looking for that presentation, and no official channel has post it.

Why, exactly, is it necessary to crap on Billie and Ryan? If an Eilish fan did that to this performance you'd probably freak out and call them a racist, but it's totally different when YOU do it, right? You know, if you can't say anything nice... But that expression only applies to people with some class, smh.

[@mysteryperson1976]

They had it posted, but it must have been removed. The Oscars official page also removed Gosling and Eilish. Gosling's performance is officially posted from the record label, and Eilish's performance is officially posted by her.

[@loubell5196]

Absolutely a huge shame that this movie didn’t win one award!!! But I’m proud to see my friends up on that stage singing this amazing song

[@nms7872]

Movies have legacies beyond awards though. This will not be a forgotten movie

[@mysteryperson1976]

Probably because of the length. Everyone complained about the length. This might be a sign to bring intermissions back into movies. Ben Hur and Gone With the Wind were longer and won Oscars, but they also had intermissions

[@Serenity113]

You can see Lupita Nyong'o right behind Lilly also use ululation after the performance. That is so cool.

As an African American this is perfect and a representation of our country 🇺🇸🦅💪🏿

Lily Gladstone reminded us all what REALLY mattered after the Oscars upset - that the Osage's stories are finally being listened to by non-Indigenous people.

[@user-vw6wu7bn6d]

I wish john wayne the coward could see this, natives performing their music at the oscars👍👍👍

[@medicinemann8844]

Brando's refusal of his Oscar through Sacheen made a bold statement about Native American mistreatment. Brando prioritized social justice over his acting career, feeling that the world's problems deserved more attention.

[@cruxdeluxx]

John Wayne would have tried to slap the women off the stage. Then Will Smith would have to get involved......lol

[@user-vw6wu7bn6d]

@@cruxdeluxx not in 2024, john wayne was a coward always played the hard guy but was just a rotten alcoholic. In 2024 he would be used as a hi hat drum by the natives live on stage lol

I regularly look at this alongside Marlon Brando's refusal to accept an Oscar, due to Hollywood's treatment of Native Americans. A bit of progress has been made over the past 50 years.

[@medicinemann8844]

True👍🏼

[@madmex2k]

I didn't and don't watch the Oscars anymore. I don't need to see who's dress the actresses wear, who they showed up with, who got punched in the face...probably not the Oscars where that happened, but it proves my point...who cares? This, one single event, I would have watched, makes me sad I missed that moment. You can feel the pain and suffering in the song, and it stands on its own honesty, raw pain, anger and sorrow. The sad thing is they still making money off the Osage Tribe with this movie. Only thing better in my mind would have been to take the drum and walk off the stage without acknowledging the crowd.
