00:00Tell me about what inspired your look tonight.
00:02Thank you. This is actually a student.
00:03He's a designer in New York, and he's Native American.
00:06His name is Jonte Khan, and this is his senior thesis.
00:09Yep.
00:10And so this is inspired off of our powwow regalia.
00:13And if you've ever seen, like, the fancy dances,
00:16you'll see, like, a lot of the ribbons when they're, like, dancing
00:18and they're swooshing around.
00:20So it's very much a tribute to that.
00:23Here we are, nearing the end of awards season.
00:26What has been the time?
00:28It's been a long one.
00:29But what has been the highlight of your journey
00:31with Killers of the Flower Moon?
00:33Honestly, it's just meeting everyone
00:35and being able to experience this,
00:36because this is the first time...
00:37Oh, sorry, I just hit you. Sorry.
00:38But this is the first time I've gone through
00:40this whole awards season ceremony thing.
00:42So for me, it's just me being like,
00:45okay, like, this is awesome.
00:46Let's just see what it's all about.
00:49And I love seeing, like, the behind-the-scenes stuff, too.
00:53It's been such an amazing awards season for Lily Gladstone.
00:57Looking ahead to the Oscars,
00:58how excited are you for her,
01:00and just what are your hopes for her in this whole journey?
01:02I'm hoping we actually get to go.
01:04I'm assuming she's going to go.
01:05We haven't got the invite yet, so I'm like, mm.
01:08But no, I just, I hope she gets the career she deserves, so.
01:12And since we're here at the SAG Awards,
01:14I'm asking people about the role that got their SAG card.
01:16Do you know what role got your SAG card?
01:18Oh, yeah, what was it?
01:20I think it was, it was pretty, this is, it was like student films.
01:24I think I did enough student films that, like, I got, like, my, my voucher,
01:28and then I went in and paid for it.
01:31It's a good old voucher.
01:33And do you know at what point you remember the first time somebody asked you what your job was,
01:39and you said, I'm an actor, and claimed it as, this is my job, this is my career?
01:43Yeah, it's funny, because as an actor, there's times where you're like, I'm an actor,
01:47and you're confident, and times you're like, well, I'm trying to be an actor, you know?
01:51So I think it definitely started, it was probably more recent,
01:55because I was going to quit acting in 2020.
01:57I was going to, just, because I was like, it's not really going too much.
02:00I'm making more progress on writing, so I'm just going to stick to writing,
02:04because it's still storytelling, it's creative.
02:06And then we started auditioning for Killers at the end of 2019,
02:10and I was like, oh, this is really cool.
02:12And then 2020 came, and then it was a pandemic, so I didn't hear anything.
02:15And then at the end of 2020 is when I got the call that I booked it.
02:19So I was like, okay, well, I guess I'm an actor now.
02:22I will claim it now.
02:24What advice would you give to fellow actors who are in that sort of spot of feeling like,
02:28maybe this is taking too long, and I should give up?
02:31How would you encourage them to keep going?
02:32Yeah, I've been acting for about 15 years.
02:34I've been out in L.A., I want to say, for about 13 years.
02:37So it's definitely been a long road, and it's still been a long road of no's.
02:41So I think it's just, you have to believe in yourself.
02:45Because even my mom would be like, when are you getting a real job, kind of thing.
02:48And so it's like you have to have that conviction of like, no, this is what I want to do.
02:54And even though people don't understand it and people doubt, if it's what I'm meant to do,
02:58it's what I'm meant to do.
