Actress was applauded after her speech on stage this Sunday night (5)
She won the award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Film for The Substance and gave a powerful speech upon taking the stage. Powerfully, the actress revealed that it is her first nomination in 30 years.
“I’ve been doing this for 45 years and it’s the first time I’ve won anything as an actress. I remember when they said I was a blockbuster actress and I thought I would never have the chance to win an award like that, and I would never be recognized”, she said. “Today I celebrate this as a milestone of my totality and the love that drives me, in addition to the gift of being able to do something that I love and that reminds me that I belong,” he said.
The film tells the story of declining actress Elisabeth Sparkle, played by Demi Moore, who chooses to experiment with a peculiar substance: a mysterious drug that, at first glance, has extraordinary properties, managing to replicate cells and temporarily generate a rejuvenated and improved version of her. same. From this decision, the character Sue, played by Margaret Qualley, appears, bringing with her a sequence of bizarre events.
Through a satirical and subversive tone, The Substance explores how the female body is objectified, medicalized and sexualized by patriarchal society, exposing the way in which women are often reduced to objects of desire and repulsion. By placing these experiences at the center of the narrative, the film transforms what is traditionally seen as an object into something intensely revealing, exploring themes such as sexuality, gender violence and aesthetic pressure.
