On Sunday, “Killers of the Flower Moon” star Lily Gladstone won the coveted Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama at the 2024 Golden Globes.

Lily’s co-star Leonardo DiCaprio has been champion of her throughout the press tour for their movie. She commented, “Leo’s been incredible… I’m an only child, but I always imagined this is what it would feel like to have a big brother… He teases me, he encourages me… He was getting more worked up before I was, just waiting for the category.”

She added, “He told me, he was proud of me, no matter what the outcome.”

Leonardo already had a feeling that she would win and started “teasing” Lily about possibly winning “after the first week of production.” She admitted, “I told him to shut up. I couldn’t think about it.”

Gladstone went on, “He has full permission to start teasing me about it again.”

As for all the Oscar buzz, she commented, “One thing at a time, right?”

At the show, Lily got to speak to one of her idols Harrison Ford, sharing, “I got to tell hi, the reason that I wanted to be an actor was ‘Return of the Jedi’ because I wanted to be an Ewok.”

“It was funny to watch, while it was dark, he and Mark Hamill share a little moment onstage,” Gladstone revealed.
