Demi Moores Oscar defeat: Fans protest after “Oscar robbery”

From the dream: Demi Moore (62) had never had a chance of an Oscar in her more than 40-year-old Hollywood career. This year, however, she was considered a favorite. Moore had already received the Golden Globe, the Critics’ Choice Movie Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award in recent weeks. The Oscar sensation already seemed perfect. But then the reality came. Instead of Demi Moore, “Anora” actress Mikey Madison (25) was on stage on Sunday evening and was allowed to consider her acceptance speech to award.

Now the question arises: Madison simply delivered better performance – or does Hollywood have a problem with older women who has already stamped Moore as a “popcorn actress”? In any case, numerous bog supporters are based on social networks. The protest is large on X, Instagram, Reddit and in the comment columns of all articles. Especially because Moore’s film “The Substance” revolves around this topic: the beauty and youth craze, which women are subject to patriarchy and especially in Hollywood. The fact that Moore has now lost against a 25-year-old newcomer has already launched the hashtag #robbed (in German: “robbed”) on X.

“Demi Moore, who loses against Mikey Madison, is basically the plot of ‘The Substance'” ,. Another writes: “The irony. ‘The substance’ is literally what Demi Moore had to experience tonight.” : “This is a blatant slap in the face of an actress who delivered the bravest performance of her career by playing an aging actress who desperately tries to regain her fame.”

Another tweet says: “Hollywood that rewards a young female actress while ignoring incredible veterans (Fernanda Torres or Demi Moore) is the reason why films like ‘The Substance’ are important in our society.” Elsewhere, the price of Madison is sarcastic as an advertising campaign for “The Substance”. Many users also announce that they are “done” with the Oscars.

On Reddit, his own strand has already been set up for the discussion about the “Oscar robbery” by Demi Moore. In the most popular comment it says: “It does not lack a certain irony that Demi is replaced by a younger, sexualized version of itself in the film and that the Academy has now awarded the award to a younger actress in a sexual role.”

Another level receives the discussion through the fact that Moore’s role in “Striptease” was considered scandal and vulgar in the nineties and the actress. Now, however, Madison also won “her” price with the presentation of a stripper. : “1995, Demi Moore played a stripper: ‘vulgar’, ‘objectifying’. 2025, Mikey Madison plays a stripper: ‘innovative’, ‘brave’, ‘Kühn’.”

In the body horror film “The Substance”, Moore takes a substance in view of her fading fame that temporarily creates a younger, better version of her-and who finally wants to push her older version out of her life. In “Anora” Madison plays a sex worker who fell in love with a Russian oligarch.
