First, Zoe Saldaña delivered a wildly emotional speech after winning the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. And now, Demi Moore is following in her footsteps.
Tonight, Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered for the 82nd annual Golden Globes. During the ceremony, Moore won the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical) for The Substance.
While accepting the award, the actress gave a powerful speech about her career and how she never felt worthy of receiving a statuette.
“I’m just in shock right now,” Moore said. “I’ve been dong this for a long time, over 45 years now and this is the first time I’ve won anything as an actor. I’m so humbled and so grateful.”
She continued, “Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me I was a popcorn actress, and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn't something I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn't be acknowledged. And I bought in and I believed that.”
“And so today I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me,” Moore concluded. “And for the gift of doing something I love and being reminded that I do belong. Thank you so much.”
Moore was up against Amy Adams for Nightbitch, Cynthia Erivo for Wicked, Karla Sofía Gascón for Emilia Pérez, Mikey Madison for Anora and Zendaya for Challengers.
The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical) has been around since the late ’40s, though it was originally combined with the Drama category.
