Lily Gladstone got a taste of Hollywood’s frenetic awards season when she was nominated for multiple honors following her amazing performance in last year’s Killers Of The Flower Moon.
However, the actress – who stars in the must-see film Fancy Pants – discovered taking part in awards shows isn’t as glamorous as it looks.
‘The meeting people is the fun part of it,’ she said on a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, adding, ‘I describe the [Golden] Globes as a little bit like Squid Game.’
The Emmy winning Korean show follows financially struggling characters who are competing to become a billionaire in a series of deadly children’s games.
Gladstone explained her answer saying, ‘The reality is, you’re in shapewear, you need to pee, you have commercial breaks, and that’s the only time that you’re able to do it. So it’s just a mad scramble, and then that’s the time when you get to jam and meet idols like Meryl Streep. But of course, that part is not that bad.’

The 37-year-old won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama for her role in the fact-based Killers of the Flower Moon.
She also earned the SAG award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role, and made history as the first Native American actress to be nominated for an Oscar.
‘Why am I the first?’ she asked Deadline at the time.
‘Why did it have to take this long for me to be the first Indigenous North American? Most of the films that show up in these categories are shot on Indigenous land in North America, and it’s taken this long.’
Her current film, Fancy Dance, has been ‘certified fresh’ and given a 96-percent rating from the critics at Rotten Tomatoes.
The plot focuses on the extremes Goldstone’s Jax goes to in order for her niece to be able to attend an annual powwow, where she has participated and excelled in traditional dance with her recently missing mother.
The film draws attention to the large numbers of missing and murdered Native women in North America. As of August 2021, The Sovereign Bodies Institute’s data base of MMIW — missing and murdered Indigenous women — contained 4,754 cases in the U.S. and Canada.
‘Fancy dance is a style of dance that exists within powwow culture and it originated as pretty exclusively a men’s form… and once, long ago, or not so many generations ago, there was a Ponca woman who wanted to move the way the men did, ‘she explained.

Gladstone is currently starring in the Apple+ movie Fancy Dance. The film focuses on powwow culture and draws attention to the large numbers of missing and murdered Native women in North America
‘So women’s traditional dance, which is what I did when I was a kid, it’s very graceful, it’s very measured, it’s very contained, so this young woman, wanted to move like the men, so she grabbed what was at hand, a scarf, two scarves, and she started moving the way they did, spinning and doing fancy footwork, so that gave birth to women’s old style fancy dance.’
Gladstone can also be seen co-starring with Riley Keough in the Hulu drama Under the Bridge.
The fact-based murder mystery focuses on the disappearance of a teen and the seven young people accused of her murder.
