Demi Moore celebrated her successful awards season despite being snubbed for best actress at the 2025 Oscars.
“I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude for this journey,” Moore wrote on Instagram Monday. “It’s been the ride of a lifetime and we’re just getting started! So grateful for my team, my fellow nominees, and everyone who has made this experience full of joy and light.”
The “Substance” star also thanked the horror flick’s “cast, crew, and fans” for their continued support.
“It’s been such an honor to work alongside you, learn from you, and celebrate this film with you,” she added.
The actress, 62, concluded the sweet message with a shout-out to “Anora” star Mikey Madison, who beat her out for the best actress award.
“And a huge congratulations to #MikeyMadison — can’t wait to see what you do next .”
Moore scored wins for best actress at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards — making her the clear frontrunner leading up to the big show on Sunday night.
Page Six reported on Monday that Moore, who was “really hopeful” going into the ceremony, was left “heartbroken” after her name wasn’t called.
“Demi is taking this loss very hard because she felt like this was finally her chance to take home an Academy Award,” an insider said.
While she is “thrilled for Mikey” and the other nominees, it was still “a huge disappointment not hearing her name be called.”
The “Striptease” star seemed stunned and tensed her jaw when Madison was announced as the winner, per a video shared on X.
According to a lip reader, she uttered a simple one-word response while clapping for the young actress.
“Demi says ‘nice,’ but she isn’t smiling when she says it,” Nicola Hickling deciphered for the Daily Mail. “Her body is almost nodding like she had to force herself to say it.”
The two women were nominated alongside “I’m Still Here” star Fernanda Torres, “Emilia Pérez” actress Karla Sofía Gascón and “Wicked” powerhouse Cynthia Erivo.
After the show, Moore stopped at a few afterparties before lifting her spirits with bowls of french fries and her beloved Chihuahua, Pilaff.
