Demi Moore awards: Actress wins Golden Globe
Demi Moore, after over 45 years in the industry, has finally achieved her first Golden Globe win. On Sunday, she took home the award for best female actor in a film — musical or comedy for her role in “The Substance.”
Moore expressed her shock and gratitude upon receiving the prestigious award, stating, “I really wasn’t expecting that. I’m just in shock right now. I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor and I’m just so humbled and so grateful.”
The actress reflected on a moment from 30 years ago when a movie producer labeled her a “popcorn actress,” which had a lasting impact on her self-perception. However, with the script for “The Substance” coming into her life during a low point, Moore felt a resurgence of purpose and drive.
“I had this magical, bold, courageous, out of the box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called ‘The Substance,’ and the universe told me that you’re not done,” Moore shared.
Celebrating her win, Moore’s family and friends posted a video of their jubilant reaction on Instagram, exclaiming, “She did it!”
“The Substance,” a feminist fable directed by Coralie Fargeat of France, delivers a powerful message about the dangers of fixating on youth and external validation. Moore left the audience with a poignant message from the film, emphasizing the importance of recognizing one’s worth beyond societal standards.
Moore’s long-awaited Golden Globe win marks a significant milestone in her illustrious career, showcasing her talent and resilience in the face of adversity.
