Demi Moore made history winning her first Golden Globe, her first major acting award ever.
The 82nd Golden Globe Awards celebrated the best and brightest of 2024's film and TV shows. A medley of Hollywood's hottest stars graced the golden stage on Sunday to honor the year's finest work. A-listers such as Andrew Garfield, Anthony Mackie, Anthony Ramos, Anya Taylor-Joy, Auliʻi Cravalho, Awkwafina, Catherine O’Hara, Colin Farrell, Colman Domingo Sarah Paulson, Seth Rogen and Zoë Kravitz presented awards during the evening.
Demi Moore did not only help present an award this evening but she also took one home and was left in tears. She won the award for best performance by an actress in a motion picture – musical or comedy.
During her acceptance speech, Demi said: "I really wasn’t expecting that. I’m just in shock right now! I’ve been doing this a long, like over 45 years and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor. And I’m just so humbled and so grateful."
She revealed that 30 years ago, Demi was told by a producer that she was "a popcorn actress." She added: "And 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 and made a lot of money …. That corroded me for a time."
Demi also recalled the moment in her life where she felt like she already did what she was "supposed to do," but when the "courageous" and "bonkers script" of The Substance came to her, it took her out of a "low point."
She said: "The universe told me that you’re not done... 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 your measuring stick.'"
At the end of her acceptance speech, Demi encouraged women who have ever felt like they weren’t "smart enough, pretty enough" or “just not enough" to not give up on themselves with advice she onces received.
