Demi Moore expected Mikey Madison to win the Academy Award for lead actress, she recently told Time magazine. “I don’t know why I knew, but I did,” Moore said in the interview. “I was so centered and calm. I didn’t feel gutted. I didn’t feel any of those kinds of things. I just trusted, and am in trust of, whatever is going to unfold.”

Meanwhile, Moore was one of the favorites to win the coveted honor for her performance in The Substance, where she played an aging Hollywood actress. Apart from Madison and Moore, the other nominees in the Best Actress category were Cynthia Erivo ( Wicked ), Karla Sofia Gascon ( Emilia Perez ), and Fernanda Torres ( I'm Still Here ).

"The Substance" star Moore lost to the "Anora" actress at the 2025 Oscars, but she doesn't have any hard feelings.
