Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” has been nominated for 10 Oscars at this year’s Academy Awards.

Based on a true story, the film received seven nominations at the Golden Globes, ultimately walking away with a Best Supporting Actress win for Lily Gladstone.

Lily Gladstone is also making history as the first female native American to be nominated for the Actress in a Leading Role Oscar.

Meg Gould, the executive director and film commissioner for the Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Arts, and Culture says it’s amazing.

“It’s so great that Lily Gladstone was nominated for best actress. It’s a huge thing for indigenous actors and to show their talent and what they can do on the big screen,” Gould said.

Along with another Best Actress nomination, the film is nominated for Best Picture, Actor in a Supporting Role, Achievement in Directing, Costume Design, Original Song, Original Score, Production Design, Achievement in Film Editing, and Achievement in Cinematography.

Gould also says the nominations are helping Green Country get noticed in Hollywood

Maria Gus, the executive director of Visit Bartlesville, says there’s a buzz in Bartlesville over the Oscar nominations.

“I have chills just talking about it because I am thrilled for the Osage people to be able to be recognized for this. This tragic but beautifully told story,” Gus said.

The Oscar nominations marked a first for the song “WAHZHAZHE,” (A Song For My People) which is up for best original song making Scott George, who wrote it, the first Osage citizen to be nominated for an Oscar.

“The first Osage person to be nominated was nominated for best song. That is so important for Oklahoma. To be able to have a production, that we were able to support, that Bartlesville was able to help in a small way and have them recognized is just great for the momentum that we continue to see with the Oklahoma film and music office,” Gus said.

Osage Chief Standing Bear sent FOX23 the following statement on the Oscar nominations for Killers of the Flower Moon.
