The good news is that for the first time in Golden Globes history, an Indigenous person won one of the trophies. American actress Lily Gladstone won best actress for her role as Osage woman Molly in Martin Scorsese’s drama “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The film is about the series of murders of the Osage people in the USA in the 1920s.

The bad news is that this Molly is one of the most passive female characters in last year’s films. Except for a few scenes in which she does something independently, she lies in bed, is in pain and looks sadly into the camera. Since Scorsese’s film was more of a setting for his usual stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, Gladstone didn’t have much leeway. But now she has received the prestigious award.

The 38-year-old was born in the US state of Montana. She lived there on the Blackfeet Indian reservation until she was eleven. She later studied theater and also has a degree in Native American Studies. She once wanted to quit acting because of the stereotypical roles she was offered. But a role in the film “Certain Women” (2016) by US director Kelly Reichardt made her famous. She began her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes with a few words in the language of the Blackfeet tribe.

In the first semester of her studies, a professor in charge of the “Theater of the Oppressed” said that if one of the students ever became famous, he could call her at four in the morning and laugh at her. Gladstone could pick up the phone by tonight at the latest.
