Lily Gladstone took home an award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama at the 2024 Golden Globes for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon, thus creating history. The actress, who starred in Martin Scorsese's film, became the first indigenous person to win a Golden Globe, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

Apart from Lily Gladstone, the contenders for the award were Greta Lee (Past Lives), Annette Bening (Nyad), Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall), and Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla).

After winning the award, Gladstone took the stage to give an acceptance speech and said:

"I’m so grateful that I can speak even a little bit of my language — which I’m not fluent in up here. In this business, Native actors used to speak their lines in English and then the sound mixers would run them backwards to accomplish native languages on camera."

She continued:

"This is a historic win — it doesn't belong to just me. I'm holding it right now — holding it with all my beautiful sisters in the film at this table over here, and my mother, Tantoo Cardinal, standing on all of your shoulders."
