2025’s Golden Globe Awards have come and passed, with Demi Moore’s historic win for her part in “The Substance” arguably being the highlight of the evening.
At the awards ceremony, the horror film about body terrorism directed by Coralie Fargeat received a total of five nominations. These included categories such as Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Director (for Fargeat herself), Best Supporting Actress (Margaret Qualley), and Best Screenplay.
