Awards success (2023–present)
Gladstone was cast in the lead role of Mollie Kyle in Martin Scorsese's 2023 feature film Killers of the Flower Moon, which was released theatrically in October 2023. Her performance received critical acclaim and was described as a highlight of the film. Critic Josh Spiegel of /Film said that she "brought to life with incredible passion". In January 2024, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama; she was the first Indigenous (Native American) woman to be nominated for, and win, an acting Golden Globe. She is the fourth Indigenous and first Native American woman to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. In February 2024, Gladstone became the first self-identified Indigenous actor to win the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Female Actor for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon. Earlier in 2023, Gladstone starred in Fancy Dance which premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim and will be distributed worldwide by Apple TV+.
Following Killers of the Flower Moon, Gladstone was cast in The Memory Police, written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Reed Morano. Scorsese will executive produce. Gladstone will also costar in Jazzy, written and directed by Morrisa Maltz, who directed her in The Unknown Country.
Personal life
Gladstone goes by both she and they pronouns. She explained in 2023, "In most Native languages, most Indigenous languages, Blackfeet included, there are no gendered pronouns. There is no he/she, there's only they... my pronoun use is partly a way of decolonizing gender for myself." Gladstone identifies as "middle-gendered" and a member of the LGBTQ community.
