The once-hopeful Oscar contender Killers of the Flower Moon came up empty at the 96th Academy Awards. This mirrors the underwhelming performance of Scorsese’s previous Oscar contender, The Irishman, which also came home with zero awards.
Killers of the Flower Moon received a total of 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Martin Scorsese, and Best Actress for Lily Gladstone. Gladstone, who was arguably the favorite to take home the Best Actress award, lost to Emma Stone’s lead role in Poor Things.
Killers of the Flower Moon
Killers of the Flower Moon is the next film from director Martin Scorsese, based on the non-fiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, initially captured by David Grann. When members of the Osage tribe are murdered in the 1920s via mysterious circumstances shortly after the discovery of oil on Native-American soil, the FBI is established to uncover the true reason behind them.
