Lily Gladstone has already made history, and she could be about to make it again.
The 37-year-old is the first Native American woman to ever be nominated for best actress at the Oscars. We will find out if she is also the first winner when the ceremony takes place in Los Angeles on 10 March.
Gladstone is not a newcomer to acting - viewers may have seen her in TV series such as Billions and films including Certain Women.
But she was not a household name until she appeared in Killers of the Flower Moon - a three and a half-hour epic directed by Martin Scorsese.
The actress points out being the first Native American best actress nominee at the Oscars' after 96 years feels long overdue considering what's known about the origin of cinema.
"Some of the very first films, I think the very first film, was of Native people," she tells the BBC's culture and media editor Katie Razzall. "It was us filming ourselves and documenting some of our dances.
"That's some of the very earliest archival film footage. The first movie, I think, was made by Native people. So I'm grateful [for the Oscar nomination], it's about time."
She has already won a Golden Globe for her role. "It's circumstantial that I was the first one to win that in the category, but it doesn't belong to me," she says. "I'm standing on so many shoulders and I'm representing such a huge supportive community that's made it possible for me to do this."
Gladstone isn't the first indigenous performer to be nominated for best actress - Whale Rider's Keisha Castle-Hughes and Roma's Yalitza Aparicio preceded her. But Gladstone is the first from the US.
She is a strong contender for the Oscar, but her win is far from certain - there is competition from Poor Things star Emma Stone, who is currently seen as co-frontrunner.
