Demi Moore 'knew' she'd lose the Oscar to Mikey Madison: 'I didn't feel gutted'
Briefly

Demi Moore spoke candidly about losing the Best Actress award at the 2025 Oscars to Mikey Madison. Despite being a favorite after winning several awards that season for her role in "The Substance," Moore had an instinctive feeling that Madison would win. In an interview with Time magazine, Moore expressed that while she felt disappointment due to her ego, she remained calm and trusted in the unfolding of events. Madison's win sparked a significant reaction online, showcasing the emotional moments surrounding the awards ceremony.
Of course, Moore would have loved to take home the trophy after previously snatching the SAG Award, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award during this statue season for playing actress Elisabeth Sparkle in the sci-fi flick.
Moore explained it was a gut instinct. "I don't know why I knew, but I did," she continued. "I was so centered and calm. I didn't feel gutted."
The physical, human part that has ego, of course, has disappointment," the "G.I. Jane" star told the outlet. "It certainly would have been wonderful to have won."
"This is very surreal," the young actress said in her acceptance speech. "I grew up in Los Angeles, but Hollywood always felt so far away from me."
