Leonardo DiCaprio: Leonardo DiCaprio reacted to his nomination for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture — drama for “Killers of the Flower Moon” in a statement.

“I am honored by this Golden Globe nomination, standing alongside such remarkable performers. I am grateful for the opportunity to reunite with the incomparable Martin Scorsese and legendary Robert De Niro and am thankful for this entire cast and crew,” he said.

She is the soul of our film and helped to bring this sinister and painful part of our nation’s history to life,” he continued. “This nomination is a reflection of a collaboration — a reminder of the transformative power that emerges from telling meaningful stories.”

“Thank you to the Golden Globe voters for this recognition and acknowledging the tireless dedication of this entire team,” DiCaprio added.

Killers of the Flower Moon was named the best film of the year by the National Board of Review, adding to the early awards-season haul of Martin Scorsese’s Osage epic.

The National Board of Review, a long-running organization comprised of film enthusiasts and academics, also on Wednesday named Scorsese best director and Lily Gladstone best actress. That follows recent honors for the film and for Gladstone from the New York Film Critics Circle and the Gotham Awards.

“Killers of the Flower Moon is a stunning masterpiece from one of our greatest filmmakers, Martin Scorsese. The NBR is proud to award this complex, important, and deeply resonant epic as our best film and Scorsese as our best director,” Annie Schulhof, president of the board, said in a statement.
