Lily Gladstone is being lined up for SNL gig as producers vow to make her hosting 'dream' come true... 'especially if she wins the Oscar' for Killers of the Flower Moon role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio

Forget the Oscars, Lily Gladstone’s real 'dream' is to perform on Saturday Night Live – and producers are already lining her up to host.

The Native American, 37, and breakout star of Martin Scorsese’s epic, Killers of the Flower Moon, will be vying for the Best Actress gong at Sunday night's Academy Awards.

If she wins, SNL producer Lorne Michaels could be quick to snap her up for the coveted entertainment show.  

‘Discussions are already in motion for Lily to make her dream gig become a reality,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.

Producers are reportedly lining up the Native American actress, 37, following her role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio (pictured) in Martin Scorsese’s epic, Killers of the Flower Moon  

‘Lorne and the writers and the cast would love Lily to be a part of the show this year, especially if she wins the Oscar.

‘It is all about scheduling. They would love to have her this year, but understand that having her when she is next selling a future project could be the right move.

'She would do it tomorrow if she had the chance, but her people want to make the best out of the situation and use it to sell her future.'

They finished: ‘We will be seeing Lily get her wish and she will host SNL either this season or next 100 per cent.’

Lily last week made public her SNL dream, claiming her parents always saw winning an Academy Award as the pinnacle of her career – but for her it was all about fronting the hit comedy show.

Speaking recently to People‘s annual Oscars special, she said: ‘That’s been probably a dream that I’ve held on my own. It’s like my parents — and I think it’s just what people say when you have an aspiration to act, and they want to encourage you as a kid — it’s like, “Oh, you’ll get an Oscar one day.”

‘So it almost just becomes a platitude. But the thing that I’ve always wanted to do if I’ve had this moment is to host SNL.’

If she lands the gig, she would join a roster of Oscar nominees and winners who have previously hosted the Saturday night sketch show, including Anne Hathaway, Anjelica Huston, Rami Malek and Ben Affleck.

Gladstone's costar DiCaprio has never hosted SNL, but made a surprise appearance in 2014 to reenact a scene from the Titanic with Jonah Hill 

Gladstone's nod for Killers of the Flower Moon marks the first ever Oscar nomination for a woman from an Indigenous American tribe.

The actress has Blackfeet and Nez Perce heritage and grew up on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana.

She spoke her native Blackfeet as she became the first Native American to win the Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture drama back in January. 

Gladstone plays DiCaprio’s wife Mollie Burkhart in the shocking retelling of the Osage 'Reign of Terror' which saw hundreds of Native Americans killed in the early 1900s by their white legal guardians for the money they made from their oil rich land.

The actress said it has been ‘remarkable’ to see how moved her ‘folks back home’ in Osage county have been by Scorsese’s adaptation of David Grann’s 2017 non-fiction book of the same name.

'We have so many stories to tell,' Gladstone told Vanity Fair’s The Hollywood Issue last month.

'It’s just a shock to people, learning about the Osage Reign of Terror – especially, I think, because it’s on such a big stage.

'But there’s just so many stories to tell, so many things to unpack from just centuries of ongoing genocide on this continent.’

Speaking about her relationship with DiCaprio, who was snubbed for his role as Ernest Burkhart, she said: 'We just enjoy each other’s company. We had some settling-in time at the beginning, just getting to know each other.

'But after a few scenes, I just saw immediately that there was room for improvisation, that there was room for experimenting with the different levels of love, complicities, suspicion, all of it.'

Killers of the Flower Moon is up for 10 Oscars on Sunday night, including Best Picture and Best Director for Scorsese. Robert DeNiro is up for Best Supporting Actor for his turn as William Hale - the mastermind behind the murders.

The nod marks 49 years since he was first nominated for The Godfather Part II in 1975.

Gladstone will be up against Emma Stone for Poor Things, Annette Bening for Nyad, Carey Mulligan for Maestro and Sandra Hüller for Anatomy of a Fall.
