Marty, Leo and Lily: ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Trio on DiCaprio’s Oscar Snub, Runtime Discourse and Centering the Osage
Martin Scorsese, Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio sit down with Variety to discuss the reception of "Killers of the Flower Moon."
Scorsese argues the actor’s performance will stand the test of time — Oscars be damned: “He went so far into the complexities and contradictions of a man who was so weak, so malleable, who did such unspeakable things, but who also truly loved his wife. “I don’t use it as a doorstop,” DiCaprio says with a flail of his arms, perhaps nodding to a recent gag from Gwyneth Paltrow (who used her own Academy Award to prop open the gate to her Hamptons home during an interview). In addition to this level of representation for the Osage, people are noticing the tenderness of the romance Leo and Lily build behind the larger betrayal in their characters Mollie and Ernest Burkhart.
