Winning an Oscar is notoriously challenging, not only due to performances but also because of a lengthy awards campaign. This season acts as an extended overtime where actors showcase their ability to connect with audiences. The Golden Globes offer a vital opportunity for actors like Demi Moore to practice and refine their public personas before the Oscars. Moore's performance at the Globes transformed her from a perceived underdog into a frontrunner for Best Actress, exemplifying how strategic speeches can enhance an actor's award chances.
If awards season had a playbook for how to win this endless overtime, it would probably focus on acceptance speeches.
One way the Globes really can influence the real awards is by serving as a high-profile dress rehearsal where potential winners can try out their live-TV persona.
Demi Moore may or may not have already been the secret favorite to win best actress for The Substance, but in the press she still seemed to be regarded as a nomination-will-be-the-award novelty.
Once Moore took the stage and crafted a narrative about being underestimated, she became a frontrunner.
