2025 actually started off on a better note for Demi Moore as she took home her first Golden Globe! The actress won the prestigious award under the category Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy for her role as Elizabeth Sparkle in The Substance.
Moore gave a motivational speech, during which he reflected on something a producer had once told him three decades earlier.
She said, “30 years ago a producer told me that I was a popcorn actress, and at that time I said that this is not something that I am allowed to do, I can do films that are successful and have been A lot of money but then I couldn’t be accepted, and I bought and I believed in it.
Moore further mentioned that a few years ago he thought that was it and that maybe he had done what he needed to do, and then he wrote about this “magical, bold, daring, offbeat, absolutely no-nonsense script”. Revealed. In her desk, titled The Substance, the actress continued to say that the universe was telling her that her work wasn’t done.
Further in her speech, the Ghost actress also shared, “Those moments when we don’t think we’re smart enough or beautiful enough, or thin enough or successful enough, or basically enough.”
Moore continued to say that one woman told her to be aware that she would never be “enough”, but that if she put down the “measuring stick” she would learn the “worth” of her worth. Can. Watch his full speech below.
After The Substance was released, the film really helped promote conversations based on it. The Coralie Fargue directorial venture also starred Margaret Coulis, Dennis Quaid, Hugo Diego Garcia, Oscar Lesage and many others.
Other actors who were nominated in the same award categories were Cynthia Erivo for Wicked, Mickey Madison for Anora, Zendaya for Challengers, Carla Sofia Gascón for Emilia Perez and Amy Adams for Niteb*itch.
