Demi Moore Says ‘I Didn’t Feel Gutted’ by Losing the Oscar: ‘I Leaned Over to My Manager and Whispered’ Mikey Madison Would Win

by

Demi Moore shared in a recent interview with Time magazine that she wasn’t disheartened when she didn’t win the Oscar for Best Actress, as it went to Michaela Watkins (also known as “Anora”) from another movie. In truth, Moore felt so confident that Watkins would win, she informed her manager of this prediction before the best actress category was even announced during the Oscars.

Moore confided to their manager, ‘I believe it’s going to Mikey,'” Moore explained. “For some reason, I was certain about it. I felt focused and tranquil. I didn’t experience any feelings of disappointment or distress. Instead, I placed my trust in the situation, confident that things would unfold as they should.

It’s possible that Moore believed Madison would win due to the fact that “Anora” had been on a winning streak at the Oscars prior to the announcement of the best actress category. Director Sean Baker of “Anora” had already received awards for best editing, original screenplay, and directing. This adoration for “Anora” was further evident when Madison won the best actress award and the film itself took home the best picture prize, suggesting that the Academy had developed a strong affinity for it.

Moore was widely considered a strong candidate for the Oscar in “The Substance”, following her wins in the best actress categories at the Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice Awards, SAG Awards. However, Madison had also been seen as a serious contender, having won at the BAFTAs. The day after the Oscars, Moore posted a touching tribute to Madison on Instagram.

As the awards season wraps up, I’m filled with profound gratitude for this incredible journey. It’s been an unforgettable ride and we’re only just beginning! I’m truly thankful for my team, my fellow nominees, and everyone who has contributed to making this experience so rewarding and bright… And a massive congratulations to Mikey Madison – I can’t wait to see what amazing things you’ll accomplish next.

Following the Oscars ceremony, Moore shared a picture of herself enjoying fast food with her daughters, marking the end of awards season. Scout LaRue Willis expressed on Instagram: “I’m so incredibly proud, this woman embodies integrity, radiates light and love! I’ve never been more honored to be her daughter.

At present, Moore is shooting the second installment of her popular Paramount+ show “Landman.” Coming up, she’ll appear on the silver screen, co-starring with Keke Palmer and LaKeith Stanfield in Boots Riley’s film titled “I Love Boosters.
