Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone SLAMMED Yellowstone as ‘deplorable’ – but admits she AUDITIONED several times for the series

Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone branded Yellowstone “deplorable” for its depiction of the American West – but revealed she had previously auditioned for the show.

The 37-year-old actress, who made history as the first-ever Indigenous actor to win a Golden Globe when she took home the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, branded Kevin Costner’s hit series as “delusional” in a re-release surfaced interview with Variety.

She added: “This is not an insult to indigenous talent. I auditioned several times. That’s what we had.’

Yellowstone has previously been called a “red state show” and “anti-woke” by some critics – which was sharply rebuked by its creator, Taylor Sheridan.

Sheridan told it The Atlantic Ocean: “They call it ‘the conservative show’ or ‘the Republican show’ or ‘the red state Game of Thrones and I sit back and laugh.

Yellowstone has previously been called a ‘red state show’ and ‘anti-woke’ by some critics (which was strongly rebuked by creator Taylor Sheridan – pictured Kevin Costner in the show)

“I’m like, ‘Really?’ The show is about Native American displacement and the way Native American women were treated, and about corporate greed and the gentrification of the West, and land theft. Is that a red state show?”

The New York Times called the show “a conservative fantasy that liberals should watch” and received a negative review The guard called it “Game of Thrones set on a ranch.”

It’s very different from when, just six years ago, the New York Post called the Sheridan-penned Jeff Bridges film Hell or High Water “almost undone by its left-wing leanings.”

Writer Kyle Smith subsequently called the film, in which Sheridan was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, “A desperate drama surrounding a Bernie Sanders campaign speech.”

He told the New York Times, however, that: ‘People see all my stuff as ‘red state’, and that’s the most ridiculous thing. If you really look at this show, Sicario or Wind River, these are pretty progressive ideas.”

Sheridan said his main goal is “responsible storytelling.”

“I wanted there to be real consequences. I never, ever wanted to back down from, ‘This was the prize.’

He later added that his politics — particularly past criticism of both former President Donald Trump and the concept of white privilege — are more complex.

Sheridan has previously hit back at liberal media critics of the series, who he said have portrayed it as a “red state show” or conservative, arguing that anyone who thinks that has “probably never watched it.”

Sheridan told The Atlantic that his main goal is “responsible storytelling.” “I wanted there to be real consequences. I never wanted to shy away from it: this was the price’

Gladstone made history on Sunday at the 81st Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills

In Martin Scorsese’s film, Gladstone — who uses they/them pronouns — portrayed Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman whose family members are tragically murdered in a plot to seize their fortune.

Gladstone, whose ancestry includes Blackfeet and Nez Perce roots, is now only the second Native actress to be recognized by the Globes. The first was Irene Bedard, nominated in 1995 for the television film Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee.

“This is a historic event, and it’s not just mine,” Gladstone said in English, after opening their acceptance speech in the Blackfeet language.

“I’m holding it with all my beautiful sisters in the movie and my mother (in the movie), Tantoo Cardinal.”

The star then noted that Hollywood has a history of creating fictional native languages ​​instead of portraying them accurately and authentically

“I’m so grateful to be able to speak even a little bit of my language because in this industry, native actors would speak their lines in English and then the sound mixers would spin them backwards to represent the native languages ​​on camera,” Gladstone explained out. .

She then thanked Chief Standing Bear and the Osage Nation, as well as Scorsese and her co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, for being “allies.”

“This is for every little outdoor kid, every little city kid, every little indigenous kid who has a dream, who sees themselves represented and sees our stories told by ourselves, in our own words, with great allies and tremendous trust in everyone . other.’
