Demi Moore Celebrates Mikey Madison’s Oscar Win and ‘Can’t Wait to See’ What She Does Next; Fernanda Torres Tells Brazil to ‘Send Only Love to Madison’ Because She’s ‘Amazing’

Mikey Madison was awarded the Best Lead Actress Oscar, beating out Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres as nominees. Despite the competition, Demi Moore expressed her support for Mikey on Instagram following the Oscars ceremony. Moore had been a strong contender for the award after winning several other prestigious prizes for her performance in “The Substance”.

With the end of awards season upon us, I’m absolutely bursting with gratitude for this incredible journey. It’s been an exhilarating rollercoaster ride and we’ve only just scratched the surface! I’m deeply thankful for my team, my fellow nominees, and every single person who has made this experience so rich with joy and illumination… And a massive round of applause for Mikey Madison – I can hardly wait to witness your future accomplishments!”

(The last sentence is a bit informal but it maintains the conversational tone.)

In the historic moment on Oscar night, Torres clinched a Golden Globe for her outstanding role in Walter Salles’ film “I’m Still Here,” marking the first time a Brazilian production took home the international feature category award. Some experts predicted that Torres could potentially edge out Moore and Madison, with the latter gaining momentum following her win at the BAFTAs. However, it was ultimately Madison who triumphed in the best lead actress category.

At a press conference following the Oscars, as reported by Omelete, Torres expressed, ‘Brazil is full of emotion, but I’d like you to direct your affection exclusively towards Madison. Direct only love because that woman is extraordinary. That was my main point.’

This year’s top actress contest saw Madison join forces with Cynthia Erivo from “Wicked” and Karla Sofía Gascón from “Emilia Pérez”. In her acceptance speech, Madison described her Oscar win as “unreal”, expressing how Hollywood seemed distant to her growing up in Los Angeles, but standing there in the room today was truly remarkable. She portrays the lead character in Sean Baker’s “Anora”, a film that revolves around a sex worker whose life is disrupted when she marries the son of a Russian oligarch. The movie bagged five Oscars, with best picture being one of them.

As a passionate film enthusiast, let me take a moment to acknowledge and pay tribute to the resilient sex worker community. Truly, I am committed to standing by their side as an ally. Meeting these extraordinary individuals, particularly the women from this community, has been nothing short of inspiring during this remarkable journey.

In addition, Madison acknowledged her fellow nominees by expressing: “I would also like to highlight the thoughtful, intelligent, stunning, awe-inspiring work of my fellow nominees. I feel privileged to be recognized with each one of you. This is a long-cherished dream realized.
