Demi Moore won her first Golden Globe on Sunday for her role in “The Substance.”
Taking the stage to accept the award, Moore, 61, admitted he was “in shock.”
“I’ve been doing this for a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve won anything as an actor,” Moore told the audience at the Beverly Hilton Lodge.

In “The Substance,” Moore played an actress who is unceremoniously fired from her health show at age 50, deemed too old to be desirable.
In an attempt to continue her career, she uses a wonder drug that promises to produce a younger, literal version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley, though it comes at a brutal and bloody price.

After catching her breath and explaining that she was “very humble, very grateful,” Moore recalled a moment in her career when a producer told her that she was just a “popcorn actress.”

“At the time, I took that to mean that this wasn’t something I was allowed to have… that I couldn’t be recognized,” Moore said.
“I bought it and I thought… that eroded me over time.”
And he added: “A few years ago I thought this was it. Maybe she was complete, she had done what she was supposed to do. At a low point, this crazy script landed on my desk. “The universe told me that I.” “I’m not done.”
Moore recalled a woman telling her to stop competing with others and that she would never “be enough,” but that it was important to know her worth if she simply “dropped the bar.”
