Mikey Madison Opens Up About Her Text Exchange with Demi Moore After Oscar Win
No hard feelings.
Mikey Madison recently shared details about a warm text exchange she had with Demi Moore following her win for Best Actress at the 97th Academy Awards. The 25-year-old actress won the prestigious award for her role as a sex worker in the film “Anora,” marking her first Oscar nomination and victory.
Madison faced notable competition for the award, including Karla Sofia Gascón for ‘Emilia Pérez,’ Cynthia Erivo for ‘Wicked,’ Fernanda Torres for ‘I’m Still Here,’ and of course, Demi Moore for her role in ‘The Substance.’
In her first interview post-Oscar win, Madison discussed her sentiments regarding Moore, revealing they exchanged friendly messages after the event. This came despite initial rumors suggesting that Moore might have been upset after not winning.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published shortly after the awards, Madison mentioned, “I hugged Torres and texted with Demi, who I adore.” She expressed her feelings about Moore, saying, “She’s one of the sweetest, kindest women I’ve ever met.”
Madison didn’t hesitate to express her admiration further, stating, “I adore her, and I can’t wait to see what she does next, what kind of characters she brings us. I think we’re all so ready and excited to see that.”
Moore was considered a frontrunner in the Best Actress category this year after winning several awards, including a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice Award, and a SAG Award for her performance as Elisabeth Sparkle in ‘The Substance.’ In that film, her character faces challenges after a career downturn and finds a magic drug that temporarily restores her youth.
Interestingly, this nomination marked Moore’s first significant recognition at major awards despite her extensive career, which includes memorable films like “Ghost,” “G.I. Jane,” and “Indecent Proposal.”
Despite not winning the Oscar, Moore took to social media to congratulate Madison on her achievement. She expressed gratitude for her awards season journey and added a special shout-out to Madison, saying, “And a huge congratulations to #MikeyMadison — can’t wait to see what you do next.”
After the ceremony, Moore celebrated with her daughters, enjoying two large bowls of fries, highlighting her ability to make the best of the evening.
