Yahoo Lifestyle The Internet Is In Agreement That Demi Moore's Golden Globes Win Was The Best Of The Night, So Here Are All The Viral Reactions To It
Last night, the 2025 awards season officially kicked off with the Golden Globes. The annual award show celebrates the very best in TV and movies from the past year.
The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez walked away with two of the biggest awards in the movie categories, while Shōgun cleaned up on the TV side of things.
There were also a ton of first-time winners, like Zoe Saldaña and Sebastian Stan, who each earned awards for their performances in Emilia Pérez and A Different Man, respectively.

However, arguably the biggest first-time winner of the night was Demi Moore, who took home the award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy for her exceptional work as Elisabeth Sparkle in The Substance.
Her win marks her first major acting award EVER, which is honestly wild considering she's DEMI FREAKIN' MOORE.
This was her fourth Golden Globes nomination after previously being nominated for Ghost and If These Walls Could Talk in 1991 and 1997, respectively.
For If These Walls Could Talk, she was nominated for acting and producing the project.
Demi was shocked by her win and got emotional on stage as she talked about her career in Hollywood, saying, "I really wasn't expecting that. I'm just in shock right now. I've been doing this a long time, like, over 45 years, and this is the first time I've ever won anything as an actor, and I'm just so humbled and so grateful."
Her acceptance speech was hailed as one of the best of the evening where she recalled a producer once calling her a "popcorn actress" and how that "corroded [her] over time to the point where [she] thought a few years ago that maybe this was it."
She also shared this poignant sentiment, saying, "In those moments when we don't think we are smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough or basically just not enough, I had a woman say to me, 'Just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.'"
Demi concluded with, "And so today, I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me and for the gift of doing something I love and being reminded that I do belong."
Her speech received a huge round of applause from the audience, and shortly after it happened, a clip of her daughters Rumer Willis, Scout Willis, and Tallulah Willis, alongside other friends and family, was posted to Instagram and began to go viral. The clip shows Demi's daughters screaming with excitement the second her name is called.

Demi shares her three daughters with ex-husband Bruce Willis.
Scout also shared a series of pics of her, Rumer, and Tallulah celebrating with Demi at an afterparty, too.
Demi was also emotional backstage, too, which just makes the whole thing even more special for me because I love seeing how happy she is.
After her big win, tons of fans online began discussing how massive it is for Demi to win an award for The Substance, a performance in a horror movie, aka a genre that is often overlooked by mainstream awards shows.

And now many are hoping that her surprise Golden Globes win could make her a frontrunner for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Demi's big win continues a trend of beloved actors finally getting their flowers. Just last night, Demi and Zoe received long-overdue love.
One viral tweet about Zoe's Golden Globes win read, "Zoe Saldaña is the 4th highest grossing actor of all time, male OR female, yet hardly gets the same flowers as her peers. The fact that this is her first ever Golden Globes nomination alone is crazy. No one deserves this more than her idc. We're getting you that Oscar mama."
Previously, the conversation has also been had about Jennifer Coolidge, Brendan Fraser, Ke Huy Quan, and more, who have all taken home much-deserved awards in recent years.
Overall, fans have been running to social media to share how excited they are for Demi and how this recognition is so deeply well-deserved. So below are even more reactions from her big Golden Globes night:
If you love what you read, give your favs a like and the users a follow to make your timeline a more fun place to be.

For months I refused to believe it could happen. I’ve seen so many wonderful genre performances overlooked time & time again. Demi Moore is a revelation in The Substance, a career-best performance that deserves to win all the awards. Maybe my heart won’t break this year after all pic.twitter.com/6eguV1nQia
