And then, Jessica Chastain announced a stunned Gladstone as the Female Actor in a Leading Role winner.
We bring empathy into a world that so much needs it.
It’s so easy to distance ourselves.

It’s so easy to close off, to stop feeling.
And we all bravely keep feeling, and that humanizes people.
That brings people out of the shadows.

I really appreciated that.
When we were working, we worked together very easily.
When we were volleying things back and forth, there was a natural cadence that developed.
He also wanted to learn how Ernest would help Mollie put her blanket on or take it off.
So, we developed this actors language for these two characters that ends up being very seamless.

She knew there was love there.
Ernest declared until his dying day that he loved Mollie.
One of the biggest confirmations of that is that Ernest learned Osage fluently.
Emma Stone in ‘Poor Things’.
And Osage, [Leo and I] can both say that its not an easy language to learn.

You feel it in the land and in the place, but mostly you feel it in the people.
It was such a gift to be able to be within the Osage community.
Some of my closest friendships were molded during this period of time.
For me, I think its so important when youre telling a story like this to maintain community accountability.
Maintaining these friendships that I made, its keeping that going on my part.
So, it would have been on that night.
