Demi Moore’s awards season came to a disappointing close at the Academy Awards, where many believed she was unfairly overlooked for her first Oscar. The actress, 62, lost the coveted award to Mikey Madison, who won for her role in “Anora.”
After the ceremony, Moore’s daughter, Tallulah Willis, shared a heartwarming photo of her mother relaxing at home. In the image, Moore is cuddling her beloved dog, Pilaf, while enjoying some French fries and wearing a cozy white robe. Willis captioned the post with “MY winner,” showcasing her support for her mom.
Moore had a successful run leading up to the Oscars, earning several awards for her performance as Elizabeth Sparkle in “The Substance.” These included a Golden Globe and a SAG Award. During her acceptance speeches earlier in the season, she reflected on her long career, recalling when she was labeled a “popcorn actress.” She expressed how that title made her feel like her achievements weren’t entirely valid.
In a heartfelt moment at the Golden Globes, Moore said, “A few years ago, I thought maybe I was complete. The universe told me I’m not done,” highlighting her renewed passion for acting. Following the Oscars, she took to Instagram to congratulate Madison and express her gratitude for the positive experiences of the season.
As the awards season wraps up, Moore shared her feelings of thankfulness for the journey, stating, “It’s been the ride of a lifetime.” Many fans rallied around her on social media, expressing their disappointment over her loss. One fan emphasized that Moore deserved the Oscar, while others noted the irony of her film addressing Hollywood’s treatment of older actresses, only for her to lose to a younger star.
Despite the mixed reactions, some fans chose to focus on the positives, celebrating that Moore gained recognition with a new, younger audience and hoping for more opportunities to come her way in the future. Overall, while the Oscars may not have gone as she had hoped, Demi Moore’s journey this season has inspired many.
