Demi Moore just won a Golden Globe for The Substance, which means she can win Best Actress at the 2025 Oscars. The rise of The Substance throughout awards season is something to behold. The body-horror film was expected only to be a critical darling before it defied expectations and turned in a stunning box office performance.

Could she actually win an Oscar? Well, Moore may follow the Brendan Fraser track to Oscar glory, a beloved star from Hollywood’s past delivering a striking comeback performance.
