Demi Moore ‘Shocked’ by Golden Globe Win, Calls Out Producer Who Once Called Her a ‘Popcorn’ Actress: ‘That Corroded Me Over Time’


Demi Moore landed the first acting award of her career after taking home the Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy.

In securing the win for “The Substance,” Moore beat Amy Adams (“Nightbitch”), Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”), Karla Sofía Gascón (“Emilia Perez”), Mikey Madison (“Anora”) and Zendaya (“Challengers”) to nab the prize. In her emotional speech, Moore reflected back on her career and claimed a discouraging power broker had suggested to her that commercial acclaim and awards attention were mutually exclusive. Moore says she was at a “low point” when a “magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absently bonkers script come across my desk.” She’s referring, of course, to director Coralie Fargeat’s “The Substance,” in which her character Elisabeth Sparkle, a fading Hollywood star, turns 50 and uses a black market drug that literally splits her open to produce a younger, more perfect version of herself (played by Margaret Qualley).
