It took years of successful performances and a ton of fan-fueled complaining on-line, however Yellowstone lastly achieved a serious awards win within the type of Kevin Costner touchdown the trophy for Greatest Actor in a Drama Sequence at this 12 months’s Golden Globes. He wasn’t in a position to make it to the ceremony in January, and was solely just lately delivered the precise award. The esteemed actor shared a grateful video wherein he mirrored on the win, however did so in a method that averted referencing the present and his co-stars, and whereas within the midst of a potential Yellowstone controversy involving Costner’s alleged scheduling conflicts and complaints.
Kevin Costner took to Instagram to share his appreciation-filled video, which kinda sits up there with among the bougie-est unboxing movies out there on-line. (Hopefully he’ll begin unboxing super-expensive make-up units and extra over time, however probably not.) However whereas the Oscar winner and his spouse needed to have fun at dwelling with a makeshift celebration involving their kiddos — “they stood up and cheered” each time his title was known as — he wished to share the video with, as he put it:
For all of the individuals who have supported me for the Golden Globes, which I used to be so glad. I’ve recognized them a very long time, that worldwide neighborhood, and so they’ve all the time been very form to me. And I couldn’t be there, however that is the award so I’m going to only open in entrance of all my mates on the market.
Upon opening the field, he peeped out the presenter’s card with the nominations and the winner’s title, and randomly famous that he may say the names of the opposite actors listed, however then moved alongside. And that was the purpose the place, not less than to me, it turned that rather more noticeable that Costner appeared to purposefully keep away from name-checking any particular folks or initiatives exterior of his household.
To that finish, he certainly went the remainder of the video with out saying “Yellowstone” or mentioning something involving the present. However what did get talked about? Films. Not TV, however motion pictures. Which feels all of the extra pointed, contemplating his commitments to Taylor Sheridan’s neo-western are clashing with the filming window for the second entry in his epic western Horizon movies, for which not less than two of his former Yellowstone co-stars have been solid. In his phrases:
Whenever you first come to Hollywood, you simply wished to get your first job, and also you see this stuff, and also you even surprise when you’re ever gonna get in a room like that. It feels actually good to have this. There’s no substitute for being there, however my spouse made an evening of it for us and all these balloons. And now I’m holding it for everyone who supported me, for the Hollywood International Press for pondering sufficient of what I did this 12 months. It’s good to… I’m so glad I discovered the flicks in my life. They’ve made a distinction. I don’t know what would have occurred to me if I hadn’t discovered the flicks. Thanks to everybody.
For many who won’t be all caught up, Kevin Costner leaping again into the director’s chair for Horizon put a restrict on how a lot he was in a position to movie for Yellowstone throughout the first half of Season 5, which is why John Dutton’s storyline was so restricted in scope in comparison with earlier years. As properly, it was reported that he desired solely a ten-day filming stretch for the again half of the season, which precipitated strife with franchise co-creator Taylor Sheridan, a stickler for particulars to say the least.
These rumors have been buffered by extra reviews that Sheridan and different execs have been in conversations with Matthew McConaughey to affix the Yellowstone universe for a by-product that will contain a number of solid members from the flagship collection. The thought there, which is bolstered by the success of 1883 and 1923 (out there to stream with a Paramount+ subscription), is for the True Detective vet to go up a samey drama that will permit Paramount Community to sidestep its Peacock streaming agreements, as long as the title Yellowstone isn’t used.
Whereas it’s nonetheless unclear the place issues are going for now, the truth that Kevin Costner didn’t carry the present up in any respect in his video remains to be odd. Nevertheless it didn’t cease Yellowstone’s IG web page from sending a congratulatory remark, with co-star Breckin Merrill additionally honoring Costner’s win. However that’s about it, not less than so far as I may inform.

Yellowstone gained’t be again on Paramount Community till the summer season, at which level this behind-the-scenes drama will hopefully have been labored out. Till then, don’t neglect to take a look at the Dutton household’s hectic backstory on Paramount+’s 1923.
