“The Popcorn Actor!” : After a 45-year career, Demi Moore wins her first prize

At the beginning of the award season in the United States, the Golden Globes ceremony, which took place from Sunday to Monday night, was especially anticipated! In terms of cinema, the ceremony especially awarded the film of French Jacques Audiard, Emilia Perez, with no less than 4 statues.

Another film directed by a French woman also shined through Demi Moore and her acting prize in Coralie Fargit’s The Substance! The actress gives it her all in this “body horror” movie! A remarkable performance after the Cannes Film Festival, where the film was in competition and left the screenplay prize.

As Demi Moore noted in her speech, this Golden Globe is the first award in her career. The award, which he received with great emotion and one of the most outstanding speeches of the evening.

Demi Moore, who faced strong competition (Amy Adams, Cynthia Erivo, Carla Sofia Gascon, Mike Madison and Zendaya), immediately showed her surprise at receiving the award:

“I didn’t expect it at all. I’m in shock!He continues:I’ve been doing this for 45 years and it’s the first time I’ve earned anything as an actor.“

30 years ago, a producer told me I was a popcorn actor

Demi Moore then shared her feelings about how she never thought she would be able to receive such an award. “30 years ago, a producer told me I was a popcorn actor. At that time I thought that I would not be able to afford such a price. That I could make successful movies that would make a lot of money, but that I wouldn’t be recognized. I believed.“

“A few years ago I thought it was over for me, that I might be done with my career, and when I was at my lowest, I got a bold, unexpected and daring script from The Substance. The universe told me it wasn’t over. I am very grateful to Coral for believing in me, taking on and playing this woman. Thank you Margaret for being my other half. I would be nothing without him. To everyone who has supported me over the years. (…)“

and conclude: “I’ll end with the following words: When we think we’re not smart enough, beautiful enough, thin enough, successful enough, and in other words, we’re not enough, there’s a woman who once told me: You have to know that you’ll never be enough , but you can know your worth if you put down the measuring tool. Today I celebrate it as a sign of my wholeness and the love within me, and for the gift of doing what I love and reminding myself that I belong in this world.“

While Demi Moore received the award, her daughters also reacted with great joy!

In France, The Substance, Coralie Fargeat’s second feature film, was a huge success with over 500,000 entries. The Cinémathèque française honored the actor with his presence on a special day in the fall of 2024.
