Demi Moore is taking a (very classy) moment to reflect on the monumental awards season she just had.

Thanks to key precursor wins at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards — and endlessly charming and passionate speeches at said ceremonies — many awards prognosticators penciled in Moore to win the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in The Substance at Sunday night's Academy Awards. When the envelope was read on stage by last year's winner, Emma Stone, however, it was Anora star Mikey Madison who reigned victorious.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Moore made it clear she was taking it all in stride. "As this awards season comes to a close, I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude for this journey," she wrote, alongside a video reel of her pre- and post-Oscars glam routines. "It’s been the ride of a lifetime and we’re just getting started! So grateful for my team, my fellow nominees, and everyone who has made this experience so full of joy and light."

She then thanked the cast, crew, and fans of The Substance, giving special shoutouts to costar Margaret Qualley and the film's writer and director, Coralie Fargeat, before addressing Madison directly. "It’s been such an honor to work alongside you, learn from you, and celebrate this film with you," she wrote, adding, "And a huge congratulations to #MikeyMadison — can’t wait to see what you do next." Moore ended her note with a heart emoji.

She may not have won the Oscar, but the 62-year-old star did still walk away with a surprising prize on Sunday night — two giant plates of tasty-looking French fries, as peeped in the reel and on her daughter Tallulah Willis' Instagram, below. Moore also attended the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party with Tallulah and her other daughters, Scout and Rumer.

The Instagram post serves as a bookend to an awards season full of Moore having plenty of moving things to say. When she won at the Golden Globes — an honor she said marked "the first time I've ever won anything as an actor" — she shared a bit about what The Substance taught her.

"I'll just leave you with one thing that I think this movie is imparting," she said. "In those moments when we don't think we're smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough — or basically, just not enough — I had a woman say to me, 'Just know, you will never be enough. But you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.'"

"And so," she concluded, "today, I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me. For the gift of doing something I love and being reminded that I do belong, thank you so much."
