The Oscar nominations were announced Tuesday, and while there were several major snubs, there was also one notable achievement worthy of great praise.
Lily Gladstone, who stars in Martin Scorsese‘s Western crime drama “Killers of the Flower Moon,” made Oscars history by becoming the first Native American woman to be nominated for best actress at the Academy Awards. Gladstone plays Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman whose family is murdered over their rights to valuable oil reserves. The film also stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Mollie’s husband Ernest Burkhart and fellow Oscar nominee Robert De Niro as William King Hale, Ernest’s crime boss uncle.
