The Substance, proving that even horror movies are worthy of the biggest awards.

FULL STORY

Awards season is in full swing and like clockwork, the 2025 Golden Globes has kicked off the celebrations with its recognition of the best movies of 2024 . But out of all the nominations for acting, Demi Moores victory for her performance in Coralie Fargeats The Substance (one of the best horror movies
on streaming) was by far one of the most memorable moments of the night - marking Moores first-ever major award ceremony win and a monumental
recognition for horror movies.

Taking home the award for best actress in a musical/comedy (though I feel inaccurately describes The Substance ), Moore followed her Golden Globe win with a powerful speech that shed light on her experiences with not being
taken seriously as an actress. Moore opened her speech confessing that this
is the first time [Ive] won anything as an actor in her incredible 45-year career, which was a surprising discovery given that Moore was named the
highest paid actress of the 90s.

But Moores moving speech didnt stop there. She added: "Thirty years ago, I
had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress and at that time, I made that mean that [awards] weren'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.

Signing off her speech, Moore concluded: In those moments when we dont think
we are 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 measure of your work if you just put
down the measuring stick.

Alluding to the experiences of her character in The Substance , it was a powerful full-circle moment for Moore.

Theres no hiding from the fact that horror is disregarded as a legitimate
genre and shunned by the biggest awards ceremonies, and yes, Im still bitter about Toni Collette and Lupita Nyongos Oscar snubs for Hereditary (2018) and
Us (2019). But alas, every cloud has a silver lining, and that silver lining
is The Substance .

While I enjoy horrors campy and, at times, unserious nature, I find that
these can be damaging characteristics that can tarnish the genres artistic credibility. However that doesnt mean you cant get a damn good story out of a horror movie. When it comes to The Substance , Fargeats screenplay is a
perfect balance of unseriousness and camp but still succeeds in offering a story with a critique of the harsh realities faced by aging women in the entertainment industry.

As a fan of horror and compelling womens stories alike, Demi Moores win at
the 2025 Golden Globes is a reassuring reminder that horror has substantial credibility and could serve as the catalyst for her campaign for the Best Actress Oscar. The Golden Globes are an indicator of who could win big at the Oscars, so its safe to say that I cant wait to see how this race pans out.
