“Killers of the Flower Moon” will receive the Gotham Historical Icon and Creator Tribute at the 2023 Gotham Awards. The 33rd annual ceremony will take place on Monday at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
The Historical Icon and Creator Tribute recognizes significant historical moments and honors the filmmaker and cast who brought the story to life authentically. Lily Gladstone and the cast will receive the tribute at the Gotham Awards Ceremony, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro present as well.
“Authentically and carefully crafted by one of our greatest filmmakers with respect and integrity, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is a powerful examination of the history of violence bestowed upon the Osage Nation,” Jeffrey Sharp, executive director of The Gotham Film and Media Institute, said in a statement. “At the center of the brilliant writing, impeccable set design, and extraordinary cast, Lily Gladstone delivers a tour de force as Mollie Kyle. We’re thrilled to honor Lily with the film’s cast members during the ceremony.”
Martin Scorsese’s three-and-a-half hour crime thriller takes place during the turn of the 20th century, when oil made the Osage Nation the richest people in the world overnight. This attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, stole from and eventually, murdered the Osage people to obtain their fortunes. The story is told through the romance between DiCaprio’s Ernest Burkhart and Gladstone’s Mollie Kyle. De Niro portrays Ernest’s uncle William Hale, who reveals his plans to reap Osage money. Eric Roth and Scorsese wrote the screenplay based on David Grann’s book.
Gladstone is also nominated for a Gotham award for lead performance for “The Unknown Country.”
