DEMI MOVES ON
THE AUDIENCE WAS SHOCKED WHEN DEMI MOORE FAILED TO WIN AN OSCAR , BUT SHE ’ S ALREADY LOOKING AHEAD .
AND the Oscar went to ... not Demi Moore ! Going into the March 2 Academy Awards , the Substance star seemed like a sure thing for best actress with the kind of comeback story voters love . But it was Anora ’ s Mikey Madison who took home the prize , much to the 25-year-old ’ s shock . Demi , 62 , was ever gracious after the loss , posting that she was “ overwhelmed with gratitude ” and sending her congratulations to the winner . The younger actress later revealed she had done more than that . “ I texted with Demi , who I adore ,” Mikey told The Hollywood Reporter , adding , “ I can ’ t wait to see what she does next , what kind of characters she brings us . I think we ’ re all so ready and excited to see that .”
The future looks bright for Demi , who recalled being dismissed as a “ popcorn actress ” by an exec in her powerful Golden Globes acceptance speech . “ The Substance has opened all these doors , and she ’ s on the Hollywood A-list again ,” an insider tells Star . “ Not that she fell off it , but her career was dormant .” ( Her work in 2024 ’ s TV anthology Feud : Capote vs . the Swans also helped boost her profile .) She ’ s currently in Taylor Sheridan ’ s Texas TV saga Landman and has at least one project already lined up . Says the insider , “ At this point in her life , she has much to be thankful for . It ’ s enough that her peers respect her and want to see her career resurgence continue — she ’ s looking forward to doing other projects and stretching her capabilities .” ★
