Lily Gladstone Has Already Made History at the 2024 Emmys

The Native American actress is the first Indigenous woman to be nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

Lily Gladstone has already made history at the 2024 Emmys. The Native American actress is the first Indigenous woman to be nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role in the critically acclaimed series "Killers of the Flower Moon."

Gladstone's nomination is a major milestone for representation in the entertainment industry. It comes at a time when there is a growing movement to increase the visibility of Indigenous people on screen and behind the camera. Gladstone's performance in "Killers of the Flower Moon" has been praised by critics for its depth and nuance. She plays a Native American woman who is forced to confront the racism and violence that is rampant in her community.

Gladstone's nomination is a sign of progress, but there is still a long way to go in terms of representation in the entertainment industry.

There are very few Indigenous actors and actresses who have been nominated for major awards, and even fewer who have won. Gladstone's nomination is a step in the right direction, but there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that Indigenous people are fairly represented in the entertainment industry.

We can all do our part to support Indigenous representation by watching films and television shows that feature Indigenous actors and actresses, and by speaking out against racism and discrimination.
