Killers Of The Flower Moon Nominated For 10 Academy Awards, Including Best Costume Design

Killers of the Flower Moon has been nominated for 10 Academy Awards. One of those nominations is for best costume design.

Danette Daniels with The Water Bird Gallery says her Osage pieces are her treasures. 

“I’ve always been very active in our Osage ways and Osage doings, so my grandmothers gave me all of my Osage clothes, and then she gave me some of her grandmothers' items," she said.

She got a call from the movie’s costuming department before filming began to check out her collection. 

They used several pieces like blankets and jewelry.

“To see those pieces that originally came from Fairfax on a big production from Apple was tremendous," she said.

People who work on the film say it felt more like a community project, with so many people involved. 

Julie O'Keefe was the lead Osage wardrobe consultant and is now working on another production set. 

She says the team worked tirelessly to make sure everything looked right. 

"I would review all the files, including all the background, so it was several hundred on a Sunday, every Sunday, and it was usually for something that would be shot the following week or week after," she said.

She says as an Osage woman, working on this film was so special, and being nominated for an Academy Award is surreal. 

"It's one of those that I'm like, this is really an incredible moment," she said.

The Academy Awards will be held on March 10.
