Demi Moore basking in the glow of his first ever life Oscar nomination at the age of 62, which represented a major turning point in her illustrious career.

The star has already garnered critical acclaim for her role in the dark comedy "The Substance," which earned some of the best reviews of her career, along with a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical.

Now, Demi Moore, known for her iconic roles in Ghost, St. Elmo's Fire and A Few Good Men, has something else to celebrate.

On Thursday, January 23, Moore's name was announced as one of five nominees for Best Actress at the 2025 Academy Awards. The news left her overjoyed and deeply moved.

"Being nominated for an Oscar is an incredible honor, and these past few months have been beyond my wildest dreams," Moore said in a candid statement, per. ABC. "Truly, there are no words to fully express my joy and immense gratitude for this recognition - not only for me, but also for what this film represents. I am deeply humbled.”

Moore also took the opportunity to acknowledge the challenges facing her community in Los Angeles amid the ongoing devastation caused by local wildfires.

“This is a time of incredible contrast, and right now, my heart goes out to my friends, family, neighbors and community here in LA. The fires have destroyed so many lives, but seeing the way our community has come together leaves me in awe of the resilience and compassion that defines us," she added. "This moment is a reminder of how incredible we are when we stand together."

In "The Substance," Moore stars as Elisabeth Sparkle, a once-popular fitness talk show host who is unceremoniously fired by her abusive boss (played by Dennis Quaid) in favor of younger talent. Elisabeth, desperate to regain her former glory, turns to a mysterious drug called "The Substance", which gives her the power to create a younger version of herself, Sue, played by Margaret Qualley.

Two women must share life alone, alternating weeks in the public eye. But their fragile arrangement spirals into chaos when their balance is thrown, leading to darkly comic and terrifying consequences.

She won widespread praise for her fearless portrayal of Elisabeth's despair and transformation. Critics hailed her performance as a career-defining achievement.

Moore, whose illustrious career spans more than four decades, was overcome with emotion as she accepted her first Golden Globe at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

"I really didn't expect that. I'm in shock right now,” Moore said as she took the stage, visibly moved. "I've been doing this for a long time, over 45 years, and this is the first time I've won anything as an actor."

During her candid acceptance speech, Moore reflected on a pivotal moment in her early career when a producer labeled her a popcorn actress, causing her to doubt her potential for recognition.

"Then I meant that this is not something that is allowed to me - that I can make films that were successful, that earned a lot of money, but that I cannot be recognized," she shared. “And I bought, and I believed in it. It ate away at me over time, to the point where a few years ago I thought maybe this was it, maybe I was complete, maybe I did what I needed to do.”

But Mura's journey took an unexpected turn when she landed the script for "The Substance," a film she described as "magical, bold, brave, unusual and completely crazy."

"And because I was at a small point, this script came across my desk, and the universe told me you're not done," Moore said, her voice filled with gratitude and determination.

Joining Moore in the Best Actress category are Cynthia Erivo for Wicked, Mikey Madison for Anora, Karla Sofía Gascón for Emilia Pérez and Fernanda Torres for I'm Still Here.

The 2025 Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O'Brien, will air live from the Dolby Theater at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 2 at 7pm ET on ABC and Hulu.
