Lily Gladstone has made history by becoming the first Native American woman to be nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards. Gladstone's nomination comes as recognition for her role as Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon." This is not the first time Gladstone has made history, as she recently became the first Indigenous woman to win a Best Actress award at the Golden Globes. In her acceptance speech, she highlighted the significance of her victory and the lack of representation for indigenous communities in Hollywood.

If Gladstone wins at the Oscars, she will become the first indigenous actress to win in this category. However, she will face tough competition, including Carey Mulligan, Sandra Huller, Emma Stone, and Annette Bening.

"Killers of the Flower Moon" has received critical acclaim for Gladstone's performance, with Rolling Stone calling it a standout. The film, based on a true story, explores the murders of Osage Nation members for their oil rights in the 1920s.

Gladstone's historic nomination at the Oscars reflects a positive shift towards more diverse and inclusive recognition in the film industry.
