Lily Gladstone has no hurt feelings about having lost to Emma Stone at the 96th Academy Awards. In fact, Gladstone says the two agree they shouldn’t have been pitted against each other.
“Emma and I talked about it, and had wonderful conversations about how ridiculous it is to place art in competition,” she tells PvNew. “Awards are supposed to be giving accolades to the art no matter what. It’s like you’re awarding just by acknowledging and nominating, really, but then this competitive nature takes over. How does that work in something so subjective and personal as art?”
There’s a consensus among pundits that Gladstone would have been more likely to win an Oscar if she’d campaigned as a supporting actress instead of in the lead category. Playing Mollie Burkhart, she appeared in just 56 minutes of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which is three-and-a-half hours long.
