If Demi Moore wins the Best Actress Oscar for French director Fargeat’s The Substance, she will join a select minority of performers who have achieved that in 97 years.
Also nominated for Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay, The Substance has been that rare if a movie: a critically acclaimed body horror feature that’s also been a commercial hit globally.
Made on a budget of less than $20 million, it has already earned close to $80 million at the box-office, and Moore’s anticipated win would add considerably to that figure.
