Watch Lily Gladstone speak Blackfeet language after Golden Globe win for 'Killers of the Flower Moon' role
Lily Gladstone won the Golden Globes for Best Actress in a Drama Sunday night, eliciting cheers from the Hollywood community in attendance at the awards show and from fans online.
Gladstone, an Indigenous actor who was born and raised on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana, has won several other awards for her role as Mollie Burkhart in "Killers of the Flower Moon," which was largely filmed in Oklahoma.

Her win in the category makes Gladstone the first Indigenous person to win the award.
"This is for every rez kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream, who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by ourselves in our own words, with tremendous allies and tremendous trust from with and from each other," Gladstone said. "So thank you all so much."

Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro weren't Golden Globe winners for 'Killers of the Flower Moon' roles
"Killers of the Flower Moon" was nominated for several other awards at the Golden Globes, but didn't win.
They included Leonardo DiCaprio not winning for Best Actor in Drama, Robert De Niro not winning for Best Supporting Actor, and Martin Scorsese not winning Best Director. The movie's screenplay and score weren't awarded following their nominations, either, and the movie didn't win best picture.
We break down the impact of those losses on the odds of an Oscar win later this year here.
