Demi Moore is one of Hollywood’s most talented and recognizable actresses. She’s appeared in countless works such as movies, television programs, and music videos. Naturally, she’s obtained many awards and accolades for her prosperous career. The only thing Moore has never won was a Golden Globe, but that finally changed! She acquired her first-ever one at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards earlier this month. Let’s take a closer peek at what happened that night, shall we?
The 82nd Golden Globes of 2025
Many celebrities arrived at the glamourous Beverly Hilton, excited for the 82nd Golden Globe Awards. They wore the finest outfits in fashion and mingled with their peers. Above all, they were all anxious to see if they’d win an award or two. Movie stars, musicians, and directors were ready to receive their long-awaited recognition and praise. Renowned stand-up comedian and former Masked Singer contestant Nikki Glaser hosted this glamorous event. It was also full of memorable and mind-blowing moments you’d have to see to believe.
First and foremost, Jacques Audiard’s musical crime comedy Emilia Perez won four Golden Globes. The period drama by Brady Corbet, The Brutalist, was behind it with three awards. The Broadway-inspired film Wicked also won an accolade for cinematic and box office achievement. Of course, movies weren’t the only lucky recipients during the star-studded ceremony. Numerous film stars that night finally became winners for the first time in their careers. The list of fortunate victors included Adrien Brody, Fernanda Torres, and the phenomenal Demi Moore.
Looking Back at Demi Moore’s Career
Born on November 11th, 1962, Demi Moore began her career in the 1980s. She initially modeled and performed low-budget acting gigs until her career took off. In 1982, Moore got the part of Jackie Templeton in the soap opera General Hospital. She went on to star in theatrical films like No Small Affair. She afterward became part of the Hollywood Brat Pack, starring in St. Elmo’s Fire. The film was a box office hit despite gaining negative reviews from critics.
Since then, Moore debuted in movies that many would consider not worth seeing. It wasn’t until 1990 that she got the chance to shine. She starred alongside Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg in the supernatural romance blockbuster Ghost. Moore became the highest-paid actress in 90s Hollywood, starring in countless flicks. She appeared in A Few Good Men, The Scarlet Letter, Indecent Proposal, and Disclosure. Moore even dabbled in voice-acting by appearing in Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Demi Moore Takes Home First Globe
Throughout her career, Demi Moore attained numerous awards and nominations. She’s won a Saturn Award, a Hollywood Film Award, and the Robert Altman Award! These are noteworthy in their rights, but she never acquired a prominent accolade. Fortunately, the 82nd Golden Globes on January 5th rectified this situation. She was rewarded the title of Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. Her performance in the black comedy film The Substance helped earn it.
Upon taking the stage and Globe, Moore gave a heartfelt and inspirational speech. She talked about a producer calling her a ‘popcorn actress’ and her self-worth corroding. Another thing Moore did was thank her director, Coralie Fargeat, and her co-star, Margaret Qualley. She concluded her talk with words of advice that all should take to heart. Moore says our self-worth can only shine through when we drop the measuring stick.
Final Thoughts
Congratulations to Demi Moore on her overdue and well-deserved Golden Globe victory. I’ll admit that I’ve never seen The Substance or have been a follower of hers. But even I cannot deny that she earned that highly renowned and sought-after trophy. She’s lived quite a life and possessed a career with many ups and downs. It’s heartwarming to see Moore receive the acknowledgment and join the list of Globe winners. Hopefully, this victory is a sign of plenty more in her future.
