Killers is a better movie than it should be, but I think it's easily one of Scorsese's lesser efforts and Gladstone's performance was the only award-worthy part of it, IMO. Disappointed that she didn't win, and I wholeheartedly agree that she probably would have been better off in the supporting actress category.

Some comments I have heard is that Lily Gladstone should have been nominated in the Supporting Actor category and not Lead Actor category. Have to agree there. Cause she is barely in half of Flower Moon while Emma Stone nearly carried the entire runtime of Poor Things. If Lily got a supporting actor nom, she probably would have won. There's definitely a discussion to be had there, especially since the Supporting Actress field was relatively weak this year. Lead, on the other hand, was f***ing stacked.
Granted, it'd be a tough argument to win as Gladstone had the top billing along with DiCaprio and De Niro. That makes her the lead actress even if her role is a smaller one compared to her male counterparts and it being an ensemble cast.

It would have been the smarter way to chase an award…but I think it does a disservice to her character (and real life woman) to do it tbh. Her character is the hero of the piece...screen time aside, it’s her story and claiming it is the point. Relegating it to supporting in service of an award while part of the point is that Hollywood is complicit in sidelining these stories would have been odd. Hilarious. But odd. I just always think about Anthony Hopkins winning Best Actor for like 15 minutes of screen time as the definition of a supporting character in Silence of the Lambs and think it’s all politics isn’t it? Yeah…he deserves every award he’s eligible for for that role…but I am hard pressed to think of a character that has ever been more of a supporting one that Lecter is in that movie. His job is to literally aide the main character in his limited screen time. Yeah he crushes every second of it and it’s one of the best and most memorable performances of all time. In a totally supporting role. But they knew he had great odds at the more prestigious award so that’s what happened. Given that it’s all posturing and politics…I think nominating Gladstone for supporting would have been a move that sent mixed messages at best…and used the story of backseating the story to backseat the character for a better shot at a statue at worst.
