Demi Moore Embraces ‘Overlooked’ Horror Films While Accepting Best Actress at Critics’ Choice: They’re ‘Not Recognized for the Profundity They Can Hold’
Demi Moore is inching closer to the Oscar for best actress after picking up the Critics Choice Award.
Demi Moore is inching closer to winning an Oscar after picking up best actress honors at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards for her performance in “The Substance.” Moore won the prize over fellow nominees Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”), Karla Sofía Gascón (“Emilia Pérez”), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“Hard Truths”) Angelina Jolie (“Maria”) and Mikey Madison (“Anora”).
“This is so far beyond anything I could have hoped for. I just want to say, the very recognition — not just for me, but for what this film is about, what it’s trying to convey — your acknowledgment is almost like the elixir. It is the healing balm to the very issue the film brings forward,” Moore said on stage. “I am so grateful, not just for my performance, but that you have highlighted this film, this genre. Normally, horror films are overlooked and not seen for the profundity that they can hold.”
Moore has emerged as an Oscar frontrunner for “The Substance.” She stars as Elizabeth Sparkle, a once-popular actor and TV fitness icon who decides to inject herself with an experimental serum in order to prevent her star from further fading. Before the Oscars ceremony in March, Moore is also up for best actress at the BAFTAs and Screen Actors Guild Awards. Her path to the Oscars got a significant boost at the Golden Globes, where she not only won but also delivered an impassioned speech about what it’s like to receive awards recognition for the first time in her decades-spanning career.
Popular on Variety“Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me I was a popcorn actress,” Moore said in her sppech. “At that time, I made that mean that this is not something I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful and made a lot of money, but that I couldn’t be acknowledged. I bought in, and I believed that. That corroded me over time, to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it. Maybe I had done what I was supposed to do.”
Moore credited “The Substance” with being a sign that “you are not done” in this business.

MBC’s “Motel California” has shared a glimpse of a heartbreaking moment from its next episode!
Based on Shim Yoon Seo’s 2019 novel “Home, Bitter Home,” “Motel California” is a romance drama about a woman named Ji Kang Hee (Lee Se Young), who was born and raised in a rural motel called Motel California. After escaping her hometown, she returns home after 12 years and winds up reconnecting with her first love and childhood friend Cheon Yeon Soo (Na In Woo).
Spoilers
On the previous episode of “Motel California,” Ji Kang Hee and Cheon Yeon Soo’s love for one another grew stronger as they began to correct the misunderstandings that surrounded them. However, they were surprised and troubled when Kang Hee’s father opposed their relationship—and they decided to go on a nighttime drive to Seoul to get some fresh air. On the way, Kang Hee hallucinated a vision of a car accident involving her mother before losing consciousness, and the episode ended with a worried Yeon Soo rushing her to the emergency room.
In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming episode, the sweet, blissful vibe that Kang Hee and Yeon Soo exuded in the previous episode is nowhere to be found. Instead, both of them have tears in their eyes as they gaze sadly at one another, and Yeon Soo looks crushed by both sorrow and shock.
The visible pain in both characters’ eyes raises the question of what could have happened to the couple—and where this unhappy late-night conversation will lead them.
“In Episode 10, the full story behind Kang Hee’s shocking car-accident hallucination will be revealed, leading to a huge whirlwind in not only Kang Hee and Yeon Soo’s relationship but also the entire plot,” teased the drama’s production team. “Please give lots of interest to ‘Motel California,’ which is racing towards its climax.”
The next episode of “Motel California” will air on February 8 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
In the meantime, catch up on all the previous episodes of the drama on Viki below!
