Opening Up After Her Oscar Loss
Demi Moore has publicly shared her feelings following her loss in the Best Actress category at the 2025 Academy Awards for her role in The Substance. The 62-year-old actress took to Instagram to reflect on the incredible journey of this awards season and express her gratitude for the experience.
Gratitude and Acknowledgment of Her Team
In a heartfelt video posted on Monday, Moore expressed her appreciation for everyone involved in her Oscars journey. "I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude for this journey. It’s been the ride of a lifetime and we’re just getting started!" she wrote, thanking her team, fellow nominees, and the fans who supported The Substance.
She also took the time to congratulate Mikey Madison, star of Anora, who won the Best Actress Oscar for her role, ending her message with: “Can’t wait to see what you do next ♥️.”
A Successful Awards Season
Although Moore did not win the Oscar, her awards season had been a success. She had already earned significant wins at the Golden Globe Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and the SAG Awards, which set the stage for her highly anticipated Oscar moment.
Reflecting on Her Golden Globe Win
Moore had previously opened up about her emotions during her Golden Globe acceptance speech in January, where she revealed that the win was especially meaningful after 45 years in Hollywood. She recalled feeling at a "low point" before receiving the "magical, bold, courageous" script for The Substance, which she called a transformative role.
The Role in The Substance
In The Substance, Moore played Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-list actress who uses a substance to conjure a younger version of herself, portrayed by Margaret Qualley. The film's daring nature left a significant impact during awards season, with Moore acknowledging the film's profound effect on viewers.
Family Support After the Loss
Following the Oscar loss, Moore’s daughter, Tallulah Willis, shared her support on Instagram. Posting a candid image of her mother eating French fries in a bathrobe, Tallulah captioned the photo, “MY winner 🍟.” This lighthearted gesture captured the loving bond between Moore and her daughters.
Celebrating with Her Daughters
Moore’s daughters — Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah Willis — joined her at the Vanity Fair Oscar party following the ceremony. The family posed together at the star-studded event, with Scout Willis sharing a proud post on Instagram: “I’ve never been more proud to be a part of this family.”
Moving Forward with Gratitude
Despite her Oscar loss, Moore's reflection shows a sense of fulfillment and optimism for the future. Her heartfelt message underscores her appreciation for the journey and the continued excitement about what lies ahead.
