After 45 years in the industry, Demi Moore finally receives recognition for her acting skills with a Golden Globe win for her role in *The Substance*.
Demi Moore wins her first Golden Globe , for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy. Demi Moore wins her first Golden Globe , for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy.The body-horror movie * The Substance * has finally given Moore the acclaim she has worked for – after 45 years of being recognised for anything but her acting. She seemed genuinely surprised to win a Golden Globe on Sunday night.
“I’m just in shock right now,” she gasped. “I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve won anything as an actor.” It’s an odd thing to hear from a woman who has been one of the most famous actors on the planet for much of that 45 years. It reflects the fact that Moore has often been recognised for everything but her acting: her beauty, body, dress sense, salary, box office and love life. All of which makes her rehabilitation and recognition truly satisfying. In her acceptance speech, she spoke of having been branded a “popcorn actress” by a producer 30 years ago – commercially successful but unworthy of acclaim. No wonder she closed her speech celebrating the award “as a marker of my wholeness”. *The Substance*, for which Moore won “best performance by a female actor in a motion picture musical or comedy” – is a story with deafening resonance for the 62-year-old actor: she plays Elisabeth Sparkle, a washed-up star who overcomes her imminent obsolescence by way of an experimental drug that hatches a newer, younger self (played by twentysomething Margaret Qualley) out of her body. Part-Dorian Gray, part-Cronenberg body horror, part-All About Eve showbiz rivalry fable, *The Substance* is a garish and gory satire of the way Hollywood idolises female youth, and the violence women are encouraged to do to themselves as they age (though how the hell it qualifies as either a musical or a comedy is anyone’s guess)
