Demi Moore articulated her genuine sentiments following her Oscar defeat to Mikey Madison, amidst a surge of fan support for the 62-year-old actress to clinch the coveted award. Both Moore and Madison were honored with Best Actress nominations at the 2025 Academy Awards for their mesmerizing performances in 'The Substance' and 'Anora,' respectively.
In an intimate chat with Time magazine, the iconic 'Ghost' star emphasized that her disappointment was far from shattering upon losing the prestigious accolade. In fact, she harbored a profound intuition that Madison would emerge victorious. Recalling the commercial break prior to the announcement, Moore shared, "I leaned in close to my manager and murmured, 'I think it’s Mikey's turn.' I couldn't fathom why I knew, but I did. I was enveloped in a serene and centered state, devoid of any melancholy."
She further elaborated, "I didn't experience any pangs of disappointment. Instead, I placed my unwavering trust in whatever destiny had in store." Madison's triumph was doubly celebrated as the film's director, Sean Baker, also garnered accolades for Best Editing, Original Screenplay, and Direction.
Post the ceremony, Moore took to Instagram to extend a heartfelt congratulatory message to Madison, penning, "Massive congratulations to Mikey Madison! I eagerly await to witness your next masterpiece." Meanwhile, Moore is busy immersing herself in the production of the second season of her highly acclaimed drama series, 'Landmine.'
