In an evening of surprises at the Golden Globes, perhaps the most satisfying win of the night came when Demi Moore took home the Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical award for The Substance. It was a rarity in Hollywood awards season: a body horror satire with a 62-year-old female lead that spits in the face of the entertainment industry’s sexism and splatters enough blood and guts at the screen to make even David Cronenberg nauseous.

"The Brutalist" and "Emilia Pérez" triumphed, "Shōgun" and "Hacks" had big nights, and Nikki Glaser reminded viewers what it's like to have a host who's actually funny in the most memorable Golden Globes ceremony since the awards show nearly atomized a few years ago.

Demi Moore has made a triumphant return to the Golden Globes, winning best actress for a role in a body horror which has revitalised her career. The 62-year-old gave an impassioned speech as she collected her award, telling the audience she was "at a low point" in her career before being cast in The Substance.

Demi didn’t get offered roles for many years — you just have to look at her IMDB page to see that,” a longtime friend of Moore’s told Page Six.

In a year where clear frontrunners have been slow to emerge, the Golden Globes offered crucial hints about which films and performances might emerge to lead awards season. Demi Moore appears to be the new best actress frontrunner after her win for “The Substance” in the best actress in a musical or comedy feature category.

Demi Moore’s Golden Globe win for The Substance propels her into the Oscars race, spotlighting her career resurgence.

Surprise wins for actresses Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres at the Globes mean that the road to the Oscars may have plenty more thrills to come.
