Gladstone (Blackfeet and Nimíipuu) made history as the first Native American nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Gladstone, 37, received the honor for her critically acclaimed performance as Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese’s sprawling crime epic Killers of the Flower Moon. The film tells the true story of a series of murders orchestrated against citizens of the Osage Nation in the 1920s for their oil rights, which resulted in the birth of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
Gladstone received public praise and support from her co-star, Oscar winner Leonardo Dicaprio, who wrote on Instagram: “Working with her will forever be a highlight of my career.”
Her portrayal of Burkhart earlier this year earned her a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
Gladstone spent the first 11 years of her life on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana before moving to Seattle.
