<p id=”par-1_70″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/golden-globes/?swcfpc=1″>The Golden Globes</a> celebrated the best actors in film over the past year. And <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ashton-kutchers-insensitive-comments-demi-moores-beauty-upset-mila-kunis-source-says.html/”>Demi Moore</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/nicole-kidman/?swcfpc=1″>Nicole Kidman</a> both had standout performances. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/demi-moore-61-slays-style-competition-cannes-celebrates-3rd-act-career.html/”>Moore’s incredible portrayal of Elisabeth Sparkle</a> in <em>The Substance</em> earned her a spot amongst the greats. Unfortunately, Kidman did not win for her role in the erotic thriller, <em>Babygirl</em>.

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-demi-moore-and-nicole-kidman-are-in-for-an-awkward-awards-season-following-the-golden-globes-a-source-says”>Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman are in for an ‘awkward awards season’ following the Golden Globes, a source says</h2>
<p id=”par-2_71″>Demi Moore, 62, and Nicole Kidman, 57, were at the top of their game in 2024. Moore made waves after playing aging actor Elisabeth Sparkle in <em>The Substance</em>, and Kidman starred alongside Harris Dickinson in the sexy thriller, <em>Babygirl</em>. While both women likely hoped to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/golden-globe-worth-twice-much-oscar-expert-reveals.html/”>take home Golden Globes</a> for their work, only Moore came away with the win. Moore won for best actress in a comedy or musical film. </p>
<p id=”par-3_19″> A source told <a href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/oscars-a-test-of-nicole-kidman-and-demi-moores-friendship-excl/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>In Touch Weekly</a> that Moore’s win and Kidman’s snub made for an “awkward” night. </p>
<p id=”par-4_57″>“Demi and Nicole have been friends for more than 30 years, and an awkward awards season isn’t going to erase their history together,” a source close to Moore’s team claimed. “But they both took huge risks on their respective contending movies this year — Nicole’s <em>Babygirl</em> and Demi’s <em>The Substance</em>, and they both want to see those risks pay off.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_65″>The source added that Moore is “overdue for serious awards recognition,” which both actors realize. “That doesn’t make anything about this less awkward, though,” the insider continued. “Nicole is obsessed with staying relevant and staying on the cutting edge, but it’s a whole different story for Demi. She has re-established herself as a movie star this year and she wants to keep making great movies.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_43″>The source noted that while the women didn’t compete during the Golden Globes, the Oscars race could tell a different story. “It’s going to be a test of this friendship,” the insider alleged, adding that Moore has “the edge” and wants to win.</p>

<p id=”par-7_23″>Demi Moore didn’t expect to win a Golden Globe for her role in <em>The Substance.</em> She expressed her “shock” during her acceptance speech.</p>
<p id=”par-8_41″>“I’m just in shock right now,” she said on stage. “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. I’m just so humbled and so grateful.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_63″>Moore added that she was considered a “popcorn actress” who could bring in viewers but didn’t deserve professional accolades. “And I bought in, and I believed that, and that corroded me over time, to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it, maybe I was complete, maybe I’ve done what I was supposed to do,” she continued.</p>
<p id=”par-10_55″>“And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out of the box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called <em>The Substance</em>, and the universe told me that you’re not done,” Moore said. She ended her speech noting that she feels she belongs at the Golden Globes. </p>

<p id=”par-13_59″>“Nicole knows what people are saying and she is going to continue to push the boundaries with her outfit choices because she believes it is important for women to be proud of their bodies,” the source alleged. “She is completely unapologetic for anything that she wears and laughs at any criticism that she may get over her daring choices.”</p>
