On Monday evening, Lily Gladstone expressed her gratitude for fans’ support following the 2024 Oscars.
“Feeling the love big time today, especially from Indian Country. Kittō”kuniikaakomimmō”po’waw – seriously, I love you all,” she posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). “(Better believe when I was leaving the Dolby Theater and walked passed the big Oscar statue I gave that golden booty a little Coup tap – Count: one).”
The Oscar-nominated actress also shared her reaction to watching Scott George and the Osage Singers take the stage. “When watching the Osage Singers at the Oscars, my inner voice said ‘They’re the ones bringing us all up on stage tonight, that’s how it should be,’” she wrote. “The history in the film and of the moment rightfully belong to the Osage Nation. What an honor to be close enough to feel the drum.””
During their performance, Gladstone was seen getting teary-eyed as she witnessed the touching, history-making moment: the first time performers from the Osage Nation have performed at the Oscars. Gladstone’s nomination also was monumental, as she became the first-ever Native American acting nominee.
It won’t be long till Gladstone’s fans get to see her onscreen again. She stars in Erica Tremblay’s feature directorial debut, Fancy Dance, which premiered at Sundance in January 2023 and is expected to hit theaters later this year. Gladstone also appears in Hulu’s true crime drama Under the Bridge, about the murder of Reena Virk. The series premieres on April 17.
