I find myself on Apple TV+ a lot these days, and while most people think of the streamer for its high-quality TV shows, it’s actually been making a serious play for your movie nights, too. Apple TV+ has been stacking its lineup with a mix of big-name projects and under-the-radar films that are actually pretty good - including the recent action-comedy “Wolfs,” starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. The selection isn’t as deep as some other streamers, but what’s there is worth a watch. If you’re looking for something new to check out, here are the top 7 movies streaming on Apple TV+ right now.

Nicole Kidman has said that she wants to work with Martin Scorsese "if he does a film with women," indicating the requirements for working with the director. Kidman is an esteemed actor, holding four Oscar nominations and one win, with a total of 110 awards won and 331 nominations since her career began in 1983. Similarly decorated, Scorsese's best movies include classics like Goodfellas and Casino, alongside some of his newer movies, like The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon. Both have important places in film history because of their creative contributions.

However, speaking with Vanity Fair, Kidman listed Scosese as one of the people in Hollywood who she hasn't collaborated with, but that she would like to work with. However, she specified that she would want to work with him "if he does a film with women," indicative of how most of his movies include male leads and a focus on male characters overall.

Lily Gladstone may be most famous for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon, but she also had a significant role in Reservation Dogs. The acclaimed FX series ran for three seasons and tells the story of four Indigenous teens living on a reservation in rural Oklahoma who are all left reeling after the death of their friend Daniel, one year prior to the events of the show. Reservation Dogs was widely praised for its authentic depiction of Indigenous life, with the series featuring many Indigenous cast and crew members.

Prior to her work in Reservation Dogs, Gladstone had been acting in film and TV since 2012, including a recurring role on Billions as Roxanne. But it was her breakout performance as Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon that truly solidified Gladstone as a major star. Released in...

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston will team up with Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone for Lone Wolf, a new action thriller. Cranston remains best known for his role as anti-hero Walter White in the acclaimed AMC drama Breaking Bad, which concluded in 2013. Gladstone, meanwhile, had her breakout last year with Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, which earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the Academy Awards.

Deadline now reports that Cranston and Gladstone will star together in Lone Wolf, an action-thriller to be directed by Mark Pellington (Arlington Road). Tom Chilcoat wrote the script for the film, which will feature Gladstone as a troubled combat veteran recruited by Cranston's contractor character for a covert plot to assassinate a politician. After realizing that it was a set-up, Gladstone's character must take on shadow agents in order to protect her son. Pellington describes the film as a "character-based thriller.

Indigenous actresses Lily Gladstone and Kali Reis have made history with their first Primetime Emmy nominations.

On Wednesday, Gladstone and Reis received nominations in the supporting actress in a limited series category for their roles in Hulu’s “Under the Bridge” and HBO/Max’s “True Detective: Night Country.” This major recognition marks the first time Indigenous women have been nominated for acting Emmys, and they are only the second and third Indigenous actors ever to be recognized in the 76-year history of the television awards.

The only other Native American person nominated in any acting category was August Schellenberg, who received an Emmy nomination in 2007 for his performance as Sitting Bull in the HBO television movie “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.”

Nominated alongside Gladstone and Reis are Dakota Fanning (“Ripley”), Jessica Gunning (“Baby Reindeer”), Aja Naomi King (“Lessons in Chemistry”), Diane Lane (“Feud: Capote vs. The Swans”) and...

Lily Gladstone won her first Golden Globe earlier this year for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon.

In a recent interview, the actress compared the event to the Squid Game.

“The meeting people is the fun part of it,” Gladstone said on The Kelly Clarkson Show recently after the show’s host asked her if she enjoyed award shows. “I describe the Globes as a little bit of the Squid Game.”

She continued, “The reality is, you’re in shapewear, you need to pee, you have commercial breaks, and that’s the only time that you’re able to do it. So it’s just a mad scramble, and then that’s the time when you get to jam and meet idols like Meryl Streep. But of course, that part is not that bad.”

Jazzy explores childhood innocence and friendship through the eyes of a young girl whose world is changing in significant ways. Director Morrisa Maltz shares the inspiration behind the movie and why she brought back Lily Gladstone after working together on The Unknown Country. Jazzy stands out by telling the story from the kids' viewpoint, with adults taking a supporting role in the narrative.

Jazzy, which premiered at 2024's Tribeca Film Festival, follows the titular young girl from age 6 to 12 as she and her best friend Syriah navigate the highs and lows of childhood. While their curiosity and innocence are at the heart of the story, the realities of the world come crashing down around Jazzy (Jasmine Bearkiller Shangreaux) when she learns that Syriah (Syriah Fool Head Means) is moving away. Jazzy must confront the heartbreak of possibly losing her friend and how their relationship will change as they grow up.

Lily Gladstone has no hurt feelings about having lost to Emma Stone at the 96th Academy Awards. In fact, Gladstone says the two agree they shouldn’t have been pitted against each other.

“Emma and I talked about it, and had wonderful conversations about how ridiculous it is to place art in competition,” she tells Variety while discussing her current Emmys campaign for “Under the Bridge.” “Awards are supposed to be giving accolades to the art no matter what. It’s like you’re awarding just by acknowledging and nominating, really, but then this competitive nature takes over. How does that work in something so subjective and personal as art?”

There’s a consensus among pundits that Gladstone would have been more likely to win an Oscar if she’d campaigned as a supporting actress instead of in the lead category. Playing Mollie Burkhart, she appeared in just 56 minutes of “Killers of the Flower Moon,...

When the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative released a report surveying film roles for Native Americans last October, of the 100 highest-grossing theatrical movies released between 2007 and 2022, only one had an Indigenous performer in a lead role. Yet when speaking to Native creatives and performers, there is an overwhelming sense of optimism for what’s to come for their representation in entertainment. “I feel very hopeful about where we are,” Jana Schmieding, who recently starred on “Reservation Dogs,” tells Variety. “I want to think that studios see the value in our storytelling.”

Variety’s inaugural Indigenous Storytelling in Entertainment Breakfast, which will take place June 5 in Los Angeles, will focus on both the value and future of such stories. The invite-only breakfast program will feature a series of keynote and panel conversations with creators, talent and executives that will center on Indigenous storytelling and spotlight the achievements of its communities in film and TV.

Lily Gladstone did not win the Oscar for Best Actress, but that loss, Gladstone says, is "irrelevant." The impact of Killers of the Flower Moon went beyond awards, receiving a day dedicated by her tribe. Gladstone was moved by the outpouring of support from her tribe, showing appreciation for her work in filmmaking.

Lily Gladstone made history with her portrayal of Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. She was the first Native American to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture-Drama and be nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award. The Oscar would go to Emma Stone for her portrayal of Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, but that loss, Gladstone says, is "irrelevant."

During a recent conversation with Empire, Gladstone spoke about the film's impact and said that "nobody was upset" that she didn't take home the Oscar.

Lily Gladstone took the award season by storm, with many nominations and awards for her role in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. Unfortunately, she didn't win the Oscar, but the actress opened up about her post-Oscar journey with nothing but good memories.

Lily Gladstone was the first Native American actress to receive an Academy Award nomination. The actress won many awards for her role as Mollie Burkhart in Scorsese's last film, but she lost the Oscar to Emma Stone for her performance in Poor Things.

In Martin Scorsese’s The Killers of the Flower Moon, Native American actress Lily Gladstone portrayed Mollie Burkhart, the wife of Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in the movie. Molly went through Hell in the movie as her husband and his corrupt friends wanted to take what was not theirs for themselves. Her performance in the movie was lauded by fans and critics, and she was the favorite to win an Oscar in the main actress category.

What has Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone been up to since her Oscar nominated role?

Her performance in Martin Scorsese's Killers Of The Flower Moon saw Lily Gladstone become part of a global conversation – and got her a groundbreaking Oscar nomination. As she tells us, though, she's only just getting started...

Lily Gladstone has been putting her feet up.

You’d be forgiven for assuming that Gladstone — the first Native American actress to have been nominated for an Academy Award — has a lot on her plate. And she has, but at home in Seattle, post-Oscars, she’s spent some well-earned time on the sofa, specifically watching The Bear Season 2. She’s not likely to be hanging around watching Carmy in his Chicago kitchen for too long, though.

After her staggering, soulful performance as Mollie Burkhart, the beleaguered woman at the centre of a vast murder plot in Martin Scorsese’s epic drama Killers Of The Flower Moon — and the Oscar nomination to go with...

Martin Scorsese’s epic Killers of the Flower Moon shined a light on one of the lesser-known dark chapters of American history – the wholesale slaughter of dozens of members of the Osage Indian Nation by their supposed guardians, neighbors and friends. A dramatic gut-punch of a film, it was adapted by Scorsese and Eric Roth from the 2017 David Grann book of the same name. The book took about five years to research, and the film took just as long to arrive on the big screen, with both taking great pains to authentically communicate the tragic nature of the Osage murders. While the film obviously takes a handful of liberties necessary to dramatize Grann’s book, by all accounts it’s an incredibly faithful telling of the story, accurately recreating the book’s major events as realistically as possible. Let’s take a look at What Really Happened to Killers of the Flower Moon.

Blackout.I had saved my question about Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) until the last possible minute. Larry Fessenden, a disarmingly amiable man with an edge to his self-deprecating humor I recognized only too well, has a new werewolf movie out. If you know Larry’s movies—No Telling (1991), Habit (1995), Wendigo (2001), The Last Winter (2006), Beneath (2013), Depraved (2019), and now Blackout (2023)—you know it’s never just a matter of a monster. As we dug into its story of a lycanthropic curse doubling as a metaphor for an artist’s alcoholism and a town’s despair at a recent solar eclipse, I could see Larry the filmmaker turn into Larry the eager, devoted student and fan under the half-light of the black sun.Fessenden appears in the final minutes of Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), like a harbinger of the future’s unforgiving gaze, as an actor on the mid-century...

Even starring amid the heavyweight likes of Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, it’s undeniable: Killers Of The Flower Moon was Lily Gladstone’s film. Following her roles in Reservation Dogs and Kelly Reichardt’s First Cow, she went on to steal the show in Martin Scorsese’s take on the Osage murders, earning widespread plaudits (and an Oscar nomination) for her astonishing performance as Mollie Burkhart. And this is just the beginning for Gladstone. After her breakout role, she’s going big – and she’s ready to step into all kinds of different worlds and genres.

As she tells Empire in a major new interview, Gladstone has a wide spread of projects in the works. There’s an upcoming romcom, as well as dystopian sci-fi adaptation The Memory Police, scripted by Charlie Kaufman and to be directed by Reed Morano. Plus, she’s imminently to be seen in Fancy Dance,...

Lily Gladstone has impressed the global audience with her iconic portrayal in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Her role of Mollie Burkhart is based on a real-life Osage woman, whose family members lost their lives over oil reserves rights in the oil-rich Oklahoma region.

Lily Gladstone shines in Under the Bridge, a gripping true crime series following the murder of Reena Virk. After her success in Killers of the Flower Moon, Gladstone takes on a new role as a police officer solving a murder mystery. Under the Bridge offers a fresh and edgy take on true crime, showcasing Gladstone's versatility in investigative roles.

In 2023, Lily Gladstone garnered serious attention after starring in Martin Scorsese's 3-hour epic, Killers of the Flower Moon, and now, she is onto her next project, a strikingly similar true crime series called Under the Bridge. Released by Hulu on April 17, 2024, Under the Bridge is a true crime mini series starring Lily Gladstone and Riley Keogh. It is based on a book of the same name, written by Rebecca Godfrey. It follows the real life murder of Reena Virk, and the investigator's search into the hidden world of the accused murderers.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Hulu's Under the Bridge.

Under the Bridge features a star-studded cast of acclaimed and new actors, fictionalizing the tragic murder of Reena Virk. With standout performances from Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough, the miniseries delves into the psychology behind teenagers committing murder. Not only does Under the Bridge explore the true-crime story of Reena Virk, but it also showcases a talented supporting cast of emerging actors in pivotal roles.

The true crime dramatization Under the Bridge includes a phenomenal cast of award-winning actors and up-and-coming names. Hulu's miniseries Under the Bridge is a fictionalization of the murder of Reena Virk, bringing the horrifying story to the screen.

Now that awards season has come to an end and the dust has settled, it’s time to reflect on the past 10 or so months. There can only be a select group of actors who walk away with an Academy Award each year. For those who may be disappointed that Lily Gladstone failed to take home the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” fear not. While she may not have won the biggest prize, she still wound up winning awards season.

Gladstone, who has shared the fact they are nonbinary and uses both she/they pronouns, has clearly had a massive breakout year. Let us count the ways here:

Gladstone was neck-and-neck throughout awards season for the honor in a race that was too close to call with Emma Stone, who eventually won the statuette for her amazing performance in Poor Things, and many expressed disappointment over her loss.

Gladstone, nominated for her starring role as Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, would have become the first Native American in the history of the Oscars to win the best actress award. But shed no tears for Gladstone, who is feeling much love, “especially from Indian country,” she wrote on X/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,” she added.

If you were active on social media, you’d know that Lily Gladstone was a fan-favorite nominee and a ton of people were rooting for her to win the Oscar. However, that’s not what happened as Emma Stone ended up taking the award home for Poor Things. Now, there’s a debate going on that Lily Gladstone should’ve been nominated in the supporting category instead to ensure her win.

The 2024 Oscars are done and dusted, leaving us with the winners for this year. While few lucky ones will be able to call the night a success thanks to their victories, many others walked out of the event empty-handed and with aching hearts. Oppenheimer won big at the award ceremony, taking home several prestigious awards, including Best Picture. However, Oppenheimer’s victory comes at the expense of another incredible film, Killers of the Flower Moon.

Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

Killers of the Flower Moon was nominated in ten categories at the Oscars, but luck was not on its side as the film didn’t win a single award. Needless to say, fans are extremely disappointed with the outcome as they believe the film deserved to emerge victorious, at least in a couple of categories, especially Best Actress.

This year’s Oscars race was especially the toughest for the Best Actress in a Leading Role category, among others. With some of the most exceptionally talented actresses nominated, including Emma Stone, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Hüller, Carey Mulligan, and Annette Bening, every single one of them deserved this honor.

But the Academy eventually ended up choosing Stone as the winner, and Gladstone was inevitably snubbed from what would have been her first-ever Academy Award for one of the best performances of her life in Killers of the Flower Moon. However, The Amazing Spider-Man actress made sure to acknowledge Gladstone even in a time like that.

Based on David Grann’s true-crime bestseller, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon is up for 10 Oscars at this year’s ceremony — and the Best Picture nominee is now streaming online...

Los Angeles, March 10 (Ians) ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ star Lily Gladstone, who’s a huge fan of Cate Blanchett, recently told ‘People’ magazine that she was disappointed when her “ultimate actress” did not win the Academy Award for her role as Elizabeth I in Shekhar Kapur’s 1998 biographical period drama, says The Hollywood Reporter.

“I have idolised Cate Blanchett since I was a teenager. When … she was up for ‘Elizabeth’ at the Oscars and didn’t win, I remember just being really, really upset about that,” this year’s Best Actress Oscar nominee said to ‘People’. “She is my ultimate actress. I think she is the great talent of this generation.”

At the 71st Academy Awards, Blanchett was nominated alongside Fernanda Montenegro, Meryl Streep, Emily Watson and Gwyneth Paltrow, who ultimately won the Oscar for ‘Shakespeare in Love’, notes The Hollywood Reporter.

Gladstone, who is nominated for her first...

It’s not unknown that Lily Gladstone is a huge fan of Cate Blanchett, but the actress is recalling her reaction when Blanchett missed out on an Oscar for Elizabeth.

The Killers of the Flower Moon star recently told People magazine that she was disappointed when the Tár actress didn’t win the Academy Award for best actress for her role as Elizabeth I in the 1998 biographical period drama.

“I’ve idolized Cate Blanchett since I was a teenager. When … she was up for Elizabeth at the Oscars and didn’t win, I remember just being really, really upset about that,” Gladstone said. “She’s my ultimate actress. I think she’s the great talent of this generation.”

That year at the 71st Academy Awards, Blanchett was nominated alongside Fernanda Montenegro, Meryl Streep, Emily Watson and Gwyneth Paltrow, who ultimately won the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love.

Gladstone, who is...

Lily Gladstone has already made history. When the Piegan Blackfeet and Nez Perce actor received an Oscar nomination for their searing performance in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” on January 23, she became the first Native American actor to receive a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars, and the second Native American performer to receive an Oscar nomination overall, after Chief Dan George’s Supporting Actor Nomination for 1970’s “Little Big Man.”

Should Gladstone win the award, it would make them the first Native American performer to ever win an acting Oscar — an incredible achievement, albeit not one that erases the Oscars’ troubled history with Indigenous people. But regardless of what happens, Gladstone’s incredible work in the film as Mollie Burkhart, a real life Osage woman in the 1920s whose husband Ernest (Leonardo DiCaprio) was a conspirator in a series of mass murders of her people — stands...

Indigenous stories aren’t always told with the care, nuance and authenticity they deserve in Hollywood, and, more often than not, their stories aren’t told at all.

While “Killers of the Flower Moon” has certainly prompted discourse within indigenous communities about who should tell what stories, the Osage Nation Congress has unanimously endorsed the creative contributions that Lily Gladstone and Scott George made to the film. The tribal governing body recently passed bills expressing support for their roles in Martin Scorsese’s historical epic. Signed by all 12 members of the legislative branch, the bills became law on Feb. 2.

Scorsese’s film is based on the murdering spree that targeted Oklahoma’s Osage Nation in the early 20th century, which was executed with the intention of stealing the community’s oil wealth. Gladstone and George are nominated for Academy Awards for best actress and best original song, respectively. Starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio,...

The 96th Academy Awards are just around the corner and we just cannot wait to find out who will take the trophies home. While the audience does have an idea after having watched other award shows recently, the Oscars can always be a bit of a gamble. Undoubtedly, Cillian Murphy is a fan-favorite contender amongst those in the race to win the Best Actor award.

Whether it is the Golden Globes or the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Cillian Murphy has been bagging awards left and right for his performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. While this is incredible for the actor and his fans, other actors competing against Cillian Murphy have had it quite tough, especially Bradley Cooper. And now, chances are that Bradley Cooper will once again lose to Cillian Murphy at the 2024 Oscars if the predictions are true.

Suggested“They both...

Only 18% of top films in 2023 had more women in speaking roles than men, highlighting gender disparity in Hollywood. Despite the success of Barbie, the film industry still has a long way to go in portraying women on screen. Female protagonists in films decreased from 33% to 28% in 2023, showing a need for more representation and recognition.

A new study reveals how many speaking roles women were given in 2023. For years, women have fought for their role in movies both in front of and behind the screen. This is particularly prominent in roles like directing, for a woman did not win Best Director at the Oscars until Kathryn Bigelow for her 2010 film The Hurt Locker.

As per a study from Dr. Martha Lauzen (via Variety), the status of women on screen in 2023 has been revealed. According to the findings, only 18% of the top 100 grossing films last year had more women than men in speaking roles.

Lily Gladstone, the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, is a trailblazing Native American actress whose breakout performance in Martin Scorsese’s film Killers of the Flower Moon, as an Osage woman named Mollie Burkhart whose oil wealth made her a target of white men during what is known as the “Reign of Terror,” has made her a bona-fide star. Indeed, she has already won the best actress in a motion picture drama Golden Globe Award and the best actress National Board of Review, New York Film Critics Circle and SAG awards; she was nominated for the best actress Critics Choice Award; and she is nominated, in a first for an Indigenous American, for the best actress Academy Award.

Just 30 minutes after final voting for the Screen Actors Guild Awards wrapped up, I made a last-minute switch in my best actress prediction — from Lily Gladstone in “Killers of the Flower Moon” to Emma Stone in “Poor Things.” Let this be a lesson: Second-guessing yourself is seldom a good idea.

Lily Gladstone made history as the first Native American and Indigenous person to clinch an individual SAG Award for her portrayal of Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman, in Martin Scorsese’s gripping crime saga. With a lead actress (drama) Golden Globe and a SAG Award now under her belt, Gladstone’s award-season momentum continues to be formidable. Historically, only seven performers have failed to win the Oscar after winning the unique combination of Globe and SAG:

1995: Lauren Bacall (“The Mirror Has Two Faces”) lost to Juliette Binoche 2001: Russell Crowe (“A Beautiful Mind”) lost to Denzel Washington (“Training Day...

With the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards on the 25th of February coming to an end, there were quite a few wins that we all knew were well deserved and would happen, and some that were deserved but were in limbo. Among the uncertain ones, Lily Gladstone managed to win an award in the Best Female Actor in a Leading Role category.

Winning this prestigious award for her stellar performance in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, the actress not only reached a career milestone but also managed to make history as the first indigenous actor to do so in history. And now, seeing this accolade associated with her name, many think she might become the first indigenous actor to bag an Oscar in the upcoming award ceremony.

Members of the Screen Actors Guild honored their own at the 2024 SAG Awards held on February 24, 2024 and streaming live on Netflix. The 2024 awards recognized the best performances in film and television of 2023, with Oppenheimer continuing to rule the season with three SAG Awards wins.

The Oppenheimer ensemble won the Outstanding Performance by a Cast award, and Cillian Murphy was named the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role winner. Robert Downey Jr took home a SAG win in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role category.

On the television side, Succession, The Bear, and Beef cast members were big winners. And The Last of Us‘ Pedro Pascal pulled off a surprise win in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series category over three Succession actors and Billy Crudup from The Morning Show.

The 30th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were filled with memorable moments, from humorous to heartfelt ones.

After being introduced by Idris Elba to present the first award of the night — best male actor in a comedy series, which went to Jeremy Allen White — Streep walked right into the microphone on the stage. She quickly grabbed the microphone stand, looking quite frazzled. “Two things, I forgot my glasses … clearly. And the envelope,...

Lily Gladstone made history with her win for best female actor in a leading role at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday.

She won for her role as Mollie Burkhart in Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by Martin Scorsese, making her the first Indigenous actor to win in the category. Her character was an Osage woman married to a key accomplice in the systematic assassination of the Osage people in the 1920s.

After being presented the honor by Jessica Chastain, Gladstone took to the stage to share how “proud” she is of her fellow actors for getting “here in solidarity with all of our other unions” following the Hollywood strikes last year.

“I feel the good in what you have done, what you do,” she said. “This has been a hard year for all of us. Those in this room, those not in this room.”

During her speech,...

Authenticity was top of mind when Martin Scorsese and his team set about creating the world of “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The Oscar-nominated film, which is in contention for Best Picture, Director, Actress, Cinematography, Film Editing, Production Design, Costume Design, Original Score and Original Song at the Academy Awards, aims to capture the tragic true story of the murders of several Osage in 1921 Oklahoma, and the film’s design team went to great lengths to do service to the tale at hand.

Set during a time when indigenous peoples in the area were tremendously wealthy owing to oil discovered on their land, “Killers of the Flower Moon” chronicles the horrendous series of murders that were designed to transfer ownership of the land back to white people, all told through the eyes of Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone) and her husband Ernest (Leonardo DiCaprio).

“History is fascinating, and you can’t...

Cinema may have suffered a few rough patches in recent years, but Martin Scorsese has faith it will pull through.

Speaking to Deadline, Scorsese, who will receive the coveted Golden Bear award at this year's Berlin International Film Festival, weighed in on the state of moviemaking amidst both strong theatrical releases and notable box office bombs in 2023. The legendary filmmaker, however, described himself as "not fearful for the future of filmmaking. The tools of filmmaking have become much more affordable for young people. The important thing is to differentiate filmmaking that is grounded in a love for cinema with 'making a movie' as a statement or trying your hand as a director as a career choice."

As we race to the Oscar finish line, it has certainly been a year to remember. The movie business all but shook off the last vestiges of the Covid era with the phenomenon that was Barbenheimer — collectively, Barbie and Oppenheimer earned more than $2 billion globally at the box office.

It sets the stage for Contenders Film: The Nominees, Deadline’s annual awards-season showcase. Today, we sit down with casts and creatives from eight of this year’s Oscar-nominated films, representing hopefuls spanning categories from the crafts to Best Picture.

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Producer Daniel Lupi on Filming in Oklahoma, Striving for Authenticity

Producer Daniel Lupi became involved in “Killers of the Flower Moon” after the script was rewritten to center the relationship between Ernest (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone), contrasting from the original version of the script where DiCaprio was playing FBI agent Tom White. Lupi said Martin Scorsese described the new version as a “who didn’t do it.”

“He wanted to go right into the emotional core of the story and not be Tom White coming in and saving the day,” Lupi said of...

“Killers of the Flower Moon” star Lily Gladstone embraces her monumental responsibility as an Oscar nominee, utilizing her platform to advocate for the Indigenous community and hoping to pave the way for more actors like herself.

During a panel conversation at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s Virtuosos Awards, Gladstone — of Siksikaitsitapi and Niimiipuu heritage — addressed the harmful depictions and references to Indians in media, notably mentioning the Kansas City Chiefs the day before their Super Bowl win.

“Honestly, you could hold both teams accountable,” Gladstone tells Variety. “The 49ers are based on the California Gold Rush, which was an incredibly brutal time for California Indians. And then the Chiefs. There are many ways that you could interpret the name ‘chief.’ It’s not just the name that bothers me. It’s hearing that damn Tomahawk chop. Every time, it’s a stark reminder of what Hollywood has done to us,...

On Saturday night, when Martin Scorsese collected a gold medallion—the honor given by the DGA to all five of its Feature Film nominees—he thanked his cast and crew and Apple for their support in making Killers of the Flower Moon, but he emphasized his thanks to the Osage Nation for their intrinsic role in the making of the film and its success.

“Primarily I have to reach out and thank the Osage Nation themselves,” he said. “I went out there right before Covid hit, only a couple of times, and got to know them a bit, and I realized I had to change the whole script… Without the Osage, without them in front of the camera, and I gotta tell you, behind the camera, and around us all the time, this certainly would not be the picture you see today.”

Incredibly, this is Scorsese’s 13th special medallion...

Editor’s note: This interview was originally published on December 5, 2023 as part of our 2023 IndieWire Honors ceremony package, which celebrated 11 filmmakers, creators, and actors for their achievements in creative independence. This interview has been lightly updated to reflect Lily Gladstone’s recent Best Actress nomination.

Lily Gladstone thrives on the unexpected. For instance, she’ll happily answer the usual questions — like, oh, what was it like working with iconic Hollywood actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro on Martin Scorsese’s lauded “Killers of the Flower Moon”? — but she’ll really light up when you ask her something a little different. More like, what was it like working with so many fellow Native and Indigenous talents on that same film?

“It is incredible to have had [that experience] on ‘Reservation Dogs,’ it’s incredible to have had it on ‘Fancy Dance,’” she said during a November interview with IndieWire. “It was...
