Demi Moore wins her first award for acting: ‘I’m just in shock right now’

Demi Moore is now a first-time Golden Globe winner.

Demi Moore is now a first-time Golden Globe winner. On Sunday, Moore won for best female actor in a film — musical or comedy for her performance in “The Substance.” “I really wasn’t expecting that. I’m just in shock right now,” Moore said when she took the stage. “I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor and I’m just so humbled and so grateful.” Moore, 62, recalled an exchange with a movie producer about 30 years ago who called her a “popcorn actress.” “At that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something that I was allowed to have,” she said of her win. “And I bought in and I believed that and that corroded me over time to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it. Maybe I was complete, maybe I’ve done what I was supposed to do.” She said that the script for “The Substance” came to her while she was in “this low point” of her life.
