CAROLINE BULLOCK: Demi 'Gimme' Moore is having a pre-Oscar's pity party... but this 'popcorn' actress doesn't get a kernel of my sympathy
Share:
Now that poor Demi Moore has been mentioned in the same sentence as 'Oscar,' will it be enough to heal her long-festering wounds?. At 62 years old, the ageless actress has been nominated by the Academy for best actress in a leading role in the body horror flick 'The Substance.'.

The film is about fading celebrity Elisabeth Sparkle, who injects herself with a mysteriously black-market drug to appear younger and more beautiful – but, for our heroine, it's not enough. Art intimating life?. For Demi, it appears, is still salty over being branded a 'popcorn actress' by some anonymous producer some three decades back.

Frankly, that might seem a fair assessment of her highly bankable, blockbuster-heavy career in the nineties during which she gave every appearance of basking in her hot heyday. As she collected her Best Actress Golden Globe award for 'The Substance' earlier this month, instead of delivering a grateful acceptance speech, Demi gave a woe-is-me diatribe.

But, according to Demi, she didn't enjoy it, not one bit. And as she collected her Best Actress Golden Globe award for 'The Substance' earlier this month, instead of delivering a grateful acceptance speech, she gave a woe-is-me diatribe that bore all the hallmarks of a pity party dressed up as something brave.

She explained that the dismissive kernel comment struck deep, leaving her feeling 'corroded' and not 'enough'. Though, one might be forgiven for thinking her estimated $200 million fortune might be 'enough'. Never forget, this is a woman famously branded 'Gimme Moore' for her $15 million salary demands on the set of the tawdry trash fest 'Striptease.'.
