Demi Moore gave an impassioned speech about worth as she won her first acting award at the Golden Globes in a ceremony which also saw The Brutalist and Emilia Perez triumph. Moore, 62, said she was “at kind of a low point” during her acceptance speech as she scooped the best actress in a motion picture musical or comedy gong for her role in horror The Substance.
The actress, whose win likely makes her a frontrunner for the Oscars, beat the likes of Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, Nightbitch’s Amy Adams and Challengers actress Zendaya to take home the award. Immigration story The Brutalist was one of the big film winners of the night, taking home several major awards including gongs for actor Adrien Brody and director Brady Corbet.
Brody scored his first Golden Globe for best male actor in a motion picture drama win for the role as a Hungarian architect attempting to build a life in the US after the Second World War. Accepting the award on stage he said: “The character’s journey is very reminiscent of my mother’s and my ancestral journey of fleeing the horrors of war and coming to this great country, and I owe so much to my mother and my grandparents for their sacrifice.
“Although I do not know fully how to express all of the challenges that you have faced and experienced and the many people who have struggled immigrating to this country, I hope this work stands to lift you up and to give you a voice. I will cherish this moment forever.”.
