I started watching Demi Moore on General Hospital when she played Jackie Templeton and last night I was so inspired when Demi Moore won her first ever acting award after 45 years at the Golden Globe Awards. What was most inspiring was Demi Moore’s speech! Demi won Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for “The Substance.” Demi’s three daughters cheered her on from home. If you haven’t seen “The Substance” you can stream it on Prime Video.
“Oh wow. I really wasn’t expecting that. I’m just in shock right now. I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor, I’m just so humbled and so grateful.” Moore, 62, won for the body-horror satire The Substance, said in her speech that a producer once dismissed her as a “popcorn actress” 30 years ago. Demi Moore has had a successful career as an actress and am so happy she was finally awarded with a Golden Globe.
“At that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something that 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 that corroded me over time, to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it, maybe I was complete, maybe I’ve done what I was supposed to do,” she said.
“And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out of the box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance, and the universe told me that you’re not done,” Demi continued. “I’ll just leave you with one thing that I think this movie is imparting is in those moments when we don’t think we’re smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough, or basically just not enough.”
“I had a woman say to me, ‘Just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.’ And so today, I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me and for the gift of doing something I love and being reminded that I do belong. Thank you so much,” said Moore before exiting the stage.
