Lily told Empire that no one close to her were upset about Emma winning the award.
She added that her tribe, the Blackfeet Nation, and the confederacy that it is a part of got together to celebrate a “Lily Gladstone Day” regardless of the outcome.
“It was funny, the organisers of the event called me beforehand and they said that they’d got a bunch of little cardboard cut-outs of gold-man statues that looked like an Oscar, to give to the kids. They asked if that was okay, or if it was gonna hurt my feelings. I said: ‘No, absolutely not.’ That’s just the whole thing of award campaigns and the competitive nature of pitting art against art. Clearly this film, in this moment, had meaning. It did its job,” she explained.
Lily continued, stressing that “Nobody was upset that it didn’t happen.” In fact, she even joked that people thought that she won an Oscar when she notched a historic win at the Golden Globes.
“It’s about the fact that [the film has] been awarded and it’s historic, and it’s still just a really meaningful moment. So it’s irrelevant whether or not I walked home with that statue in hand,” she said.
