Lily Gladstone Wins Best Actress, Drama at the 2024 Golden Globes

Lily Gladstone has made history as the first Indigenous woman to win Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama at the Golden Globes.

The “Killers of the Flower Moon” star took home the award on January 7 for her portrayal of real-life hero Mollie Burkhart in the Martin Scorsese epic.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” follows the serial killings of Osage Nation members in 1920s Oklahoma, led by organized crime mastermind William Hale (Robert De Niro) and his nephew Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), who was married to oil heiress Mollie (Gladstone). The murders lead Mollie to ask the newly formed FBI for help in solving the case.

Gladstone beat out fellow nominees Annette Bening (“Nyad”), Sandra Huller (“Anatomy of a Fall”), Greta Lee (“Past Lives”), Carey Mulligan (“Maestro”), and Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”) to make history at the 2024 Golden Globes.
