Demi Moore’s Golden Globes Speech Is for Anyone Who’s Ever Felt “Not Enough”

Jan 7, 2025   •   Kyzia Maramara

The Golden Globes kicked off the awards season with a bang, delivering a night of surprises and triumphs. Zendaya dazzled on the red carpet, showcasing her engagement ring (!!) from Tom Holland. Nikki Glaser made history as the first solo female host, proving that comediennes can effortlessly command the stage. Even Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet had a comfortable time in front of hundreds of cameras.

The night also saw major wins for critically acclaimed films like Emilia Perez, The Brutalist, and Shogun, solidifying their status as potential Oscar contenders. However, the biggest highlight of the evening belonged to Coralie Fargeat’s body horror masterpiece, The Substance, which not only received a Best Motion Picture nomination but also earned Demi Moore her first Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.

The gravity of Moore’s win truly hit home when you consider that this is her first major industry award in 45 years of acting. The 64-year-old’s heartfelt, 3-minute acceptance speech resonated deeply with the audience. It was an ode to self-love, a testament to the self-worth she may have spent decades discovering. Moore’s victory is a powerful reminder that age is no barrier to achieving one’s dreams.

“I’ve been [acting] for a long time, over 45 years, and this is the first time I have ever won anything as an actor. And I just am so humbled and so grateful,” Moore began.

“Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress, and at that time, I made that mean that this [award] wasn’t something that I was allowed to have,” she said.

“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.”

According to Vogue, a “popcorn movie” is a film celebrated for its “entertainment value and box-office earnings more than its critical reception or contributions to filmic discourse.” In turn, a “popcorn actress” tends to star in those kinds of films.

Moore’s 90s reign was undeniable. After her breakout role in Ghost (1990), she became a box-office powerhouse, starring in hits like A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994). Despite this impressive filmography, a major award like a Golden Globe had eluded her throughout her career.

“And as I was kind of at 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,'” Moore continued.

Despite facing early career skepticism, she persevered, proving her doubters wrong.

Moore winning an award for her role in Fargeat’s body-horror gory masterpiece that critiques society’s ruthless dismissal of aging women, is a powerful statement. In The Substance, Moore is Elisabeth Sparkle, a fading actress grappling with the declining relevance of her career in a youth-obsessed industry. Desperate to reclaim her lost youth and stardom, Elizabeth succumbs to the allure of a mysterious substance that miraculously transforms her into Sue (Margaret Qualley), a younger, more vibrant version of herself.

Moore ended her speech with what she hopes people can take away from the movie:

“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,” she said.

Moore’s triumph serves as an inspiring reminder for women of all ages. Whether you’re in your 20s grappling with self-doubt and feeling lost, or navigating the anxieties of your 30s with a sense of unfulfilled potential, remember that it’s never too late to redefine your path. Even in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, you possess the power to chase your dreams and embark on a new chapter. Moore’s victory is a testament to how, sometimes, the most fulfilling moments arrive when we least expect them.
