Demi Moore Winning Best Actress for 'The Substance' Would Keep This Weird — and Great — Oscar Trend Alive

Demi Moore’s Oscar nomination for her performance in The Substanceis an exciting accomplishment for horror fans. If Moore wins, it would be only the fourth time in Oscar history that an actress has won for a horror movie. She would join the ranks of Kathy Bates in Misery, Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs, and Natalie Portman in Black Swan. But an Oscar win for Moore would also be a continuation of a trend that has sprung up over the past few years in the Best Actress Category, starting with Michelle Yeoh's 2023 win for Everything Everywhere All at Once and followed by Emma Stone's win for Poor Things in 2024. This trio of performances would mark a more experimental turn for the Academy — one that feels long-awaited.
