Moment Demi Moore’s daughters watch her win first Golden Globe as they break down in tears
In a video that depicts the daughters of award-winning actress Demi Moore’s first Golden Globes win, they can be seen cheering and jumping up and down.
For her role in the body horror The Substance, the 62-year-old US actress claimed she had been “kind of at a low point” when she won the award for best actress in a motion picture musical or comedy.
The moment they watched her win on television at the 82nd annual awards ceremony in California on Sunday, her daughters Scout, Tallulah, and Rumer, along with her ex-husband Bruce Willis, posted a video to their social media accounts.
Scout commented “She did it”, with Rumer saying she was “so proud” of her mother, adding: “I love you so much. So well deserved”. Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul said in the comments: “This makes me so happy. Way to go Demi!!! I’m delighted that you and your gorgeous family can celebrate your genius. Big hugs to you all”.
Demi, whose win is likely to make her a frontrunner for the Oscars, beat stars including Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo, Nightbitch’s Amy Adams and Challengers actress Zendaya to take home the award. During an emotional speech, Demi, whose character confronts the harsh reality of ageing in Hollywood in The Substance, said: “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 wasn’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.
I “couldn’t stop believing that,” and that eventually corroded me to the point where I pondered this, maybe I was finished. I carried out my obligations. And as I was at kind of 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. “
She added:” And I’ll just leave you with one thing that I think this movie is imparting is – 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. Just know you will never be enough, but you can determine your worth if you just use the measuring stick, said a woman. And so I honor this today as a sign of my completeness, the love that motivates me, and the recognition that I have done what I love while being reminded that I do belong.
The Substance, directed by French film-maker Coralie Fargeat, focuses on a Hollywood star, played by Demi, who considers a new treatment to look younger. When it first appeared at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, it received a 13-minute standing ovation. Demi signed to Elite Models as a teenager before taking acting lessons and landing her first film role at the age of 19 after playing roles in films like Ghost (1990) and GI Jane (1997).
Bruce Willis, 69, a Hollywood actor who was married to Demi for 13 years before divorcing in 2000, retired from acting in 2022 after being diagnosed with a condition that affected his cognitive abilities. Demi played Madison Lee in the 2003 action comedy film Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle and she is also known for starring in films including Indecent Proposal (1993), The Juror (1996), and Striptease (1996).
