Lily Gladstone has said making Oscars history as the first Native American recognised in the best actress category was “long overdue” but she feels it is “just the beginning”.

The 37-year-old, a native of Montana’s Blackfeet reservation, has been nominated for her first Academy Award for her starring role in Killers Of The Flower Moon alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s western crime thriller.
