Actress Mikey Madison, known as Anora star, triumphantly bagged the ‘Best Actress’ title at the 2025 Oscars, surprising many who anticipated Demi Moore to win due to her remarkable performance in ‘The Substance’.
Originally hailing from Los Angeles, Madison shared during her Dolby stage speech on Sunday evening that Hollywood seemed distant to her,” said Anora’s portrayer, Madison. In the series Anora, we find Madison playing a character who transitions from being a sex worker in Brooklyn to marrying the son of a Russian oligarch. However, this union lands her in trouble with his influential family.
In her speech, Madison expressed gratitude towards and paid tribute to the sex worker community. She pledged to remain a supporter and ally. The remarkable individuals she’s encountered from this community during her experience have been particularly meaningful to her.
As a dedicated admirer, I’d like to share my insights about how Madison’s discussion during The Hollywood Reporter’s actress roundtable resonated with me. She revealed that conversing with sex workers significantly impacted her acting craft. She explained that it’s not just about the physical strain, but also the mental toll, as you must immediately forge a connection with someone. Additionally, she highlighted the endurance required when you spend the entire day on your feet, dancing in high heels—a challenge that I can truly appreciate.
The surprise victory of Madison has been announced, as numerous Oscar prediction experts had foreseen Demi Moore winning the Best Actress accolade for her performance in “The Substance“. Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked“), Karla Sofía Gascón (“Emilia Pérez“) and Fernanda Torres (“I’m Still Here“) were also in the running for this category. However, it was Moore who received the Golden Globe for best actress, while Madison notably clinched the SAG award instead.
The 25-year-old Madison also has become the first Gen Z winner in an acting category.
