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

In “The Substance,” Moore starred as an actress who is unceremoniously fired from her fitness show at age 50, deemed too old to be desirable.
In an effort to further her career, she uses a miracle drug that promises to generate a younger version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley, although it comes at a bloody and brutal price.

After catching her breath and explaining that she was “so humbled, so grateful,” Moore recalled a time in her career when a producer told her she was just a “pop actress -corn”.

“At that point, I made it clear that this was not something I was allowed to have…and that I could not be recognized,” Moore said.
“I bought into it and I thought…it ate away at me over time.”

She added: “A few years ago I thought that was it. Maybe I was complete, I had done what I was supposed to do. At some point this crazy scenario came up on my desk. The universe told me that I’m not done.”
Moore remembers a woman telling her to stop competing with others and that she would never be “enough,” but how important it was to know her worth if she would just “put down the marking stick.”
