Demi Moore’s Oscar nomination Is the icing on the cake of her comeback year in Hollywood.
Moore, who was nominated by the Academy for Best Actress, also took her first Golden Globe home at the age of 62.
“Being nominated for an Oscar is an incredible honor and in recent months my wildest dreams have surpassed,” Moore said in a statement. “There are really no words to fully express my joy and overwhelming gratitude for this recognition. Not only for me, but also for what this film represents. I am deeply humiliated.”
“This is a time of incredible contrasts and at the moment my heart lies with my friends, family, neighbors and community here in LA,” she added, referring to the fires in Los Angeles that the city destroyed in January. “The fires have destroyed so many lives, but to see how our community has united, I have awe for the resilience and the compassion that defines us, and this moment reminds us how incredible we are when we stand together.”

“I was less busy than Margaret (Qualley), because she was the extra pressure to look great. I degraded throughout the film and I knew that I would not be shot in the glamorous way or softened with the edges In fact the opposite.

Moore admitted after winning the best performance of a female actor in a musical of comedy Golden Globes 2025 That she almost stopped acting before she received the script for ‘the substance’.
“A few years ago I thought it was,” she said partly during her word of thanks. “Maybe I was complete, I had done what I had to do. At a low point this crazy script ended up on my desk. The universe told me that I am not ready yet.”
Moore remembered that she was told that she had to stop competing with others, and that she would never be ‘enough’, but it was important to know the value of herself if she ‘just put down the marker’.
Before she left the stage, the ‘Gi Jane’ actress said that the price ‘a reminder was that I really belong’.
