Demi Moore SNUBBED at Oscars! Fans React

by

This year at the 97th Academy Awards, I found myself caught in the thrilling competition for Best Actress, where established legends and fresh talents battled it out for the prestigious golden statue. Among the contenders were Cynthia Erivo, who captivated as Elphaba Thropp in the musical adaptation of “Wicked,” Karla Sofía Gascón with her compelling lead role in the Netflix drama-musical “Emilia Pérez,” Mikey Madison, whose heart-wrenching portrayal of Anora “Ani” Mikheeva in “Anora” left a lasting impact, Demi Moore, who delivered an impressive performance as the fading superstar Elisabeth Sparkle in “The Substance,” and Fernanda Torres, who shone as Eunice Paiva in the biographical drama “I’m Still Here.”

Though Demi Moore was a frontrunner for the award, it was Mikey Madison who emerged victorious. Her performance was equally deserving of recognition.

Under Coralie Fargeat’s guidance, The Substance has become a remarkable cinematic event. This unique blend of comedy and horror has garnered attention in various categories such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. Remarkably, it is one of the few horror films to catch the Academy’s eye. A significant part of its success can be attributed to Demi Moore’s spellbinding, funny, and heart-wrenching performance, which many critics have labeled as her “best work yet.

Demi Moore’s nomination for Best Actress at the 97th Academy Awards represents a first recognition in her 45-year acting career, an unexpected turn given her roles in iconic movies like those alongside stars such as Tom Cruise and Robert Redford. It’s fitting that it’s her latest film, “The Substance,” that has revitalized Moore’s career, with her captivating, transformative portrayal earning her a Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award due to its grotesque body-horror genre.

‘The Substance’ Fans Have Been Quick To Point Out the Irony

Demi Moore’s absence from this year’s Academy Awards adds to the irony of “The Substance”, as the seasoned Hollywood actress didn’t receive the award, instead going to newcomer Mikey Madison. Fans of both “The Substance” and Demi Moore have expressed their feelings on social media about this decision. “@blurayangel” stated, “My heart ached just as much as Demi Moore’s did when she didn’t win. This year was definitely her time. Horror films are often overlooked unfairly!” Meanwhile, @Hgserrano commented, “Demi Moore watching Mikey Madison accept the Best Actress award… The prophecy of ‘The Substante’ [sp] has come true.

Others strongly believed that it was Demi Moore‘s turn to win, with @ScratchyDerose stating emphatically, “Sure, I admire Mickey Madison, but DEMI MOORE WAS ROBBED.” Similarly, @PaoloUggetti found a sense of drama in the outcome, remarking, “Demi Moore losing to Mickie Madison is like the script for a movie titled ‘The Substance’.” @TheAlexSylvian adds humorously, “Wow, Demi Moore being overshadowed by a younger, more promising star – that deserves a film!

In a contrasting perspective, @ThatBrashBlonde expresses mixed feelings, saying, “I’m genuinely thrilled for Mikey Madison, but feel Demi Moore was unfairly overlooked.” Meanwhile, @krungkrungkrazy points out the irony, stating, “This year’s competition has a rich tapestry of irony, as The Substance with Demi Moore losing to a more youthful actress. It’s a bit disheartening.” On the optimistic side, @heyjaeee sees potential, suggesting, “On the positive note, Demi Moore garnered numerous awards this season and was exposed to a new generation of viewers. I’m hopeful that she continues receiving excellent scripts and opportunities!
