Oscars 2025: ‘Robbed’ Trends As Demi Moore Loses to Mikey Madison in Best Actress Snub; Fans Say THIS

by

At the 97th Academy Awards, there was an unexpected twist in the Best Actress category when Mikey Madison emerged victorious for her performance in Anora, outshining seasoned actress Demi Moore.

I was among those who anticipated Moore would triumphantly carry the award for her remarkable portrayal in The Substance. However, it was the talented Anora actress who walked away with the honor instead. Immediately, social media platforms exploded with reactions, with “Robbed” becoming a popular hashtag as fans expressed their dismay.

At the awards ceremony, Emma Stone announced the Best Actress award, and when Madison’s name was called out, there were plenty of surprised faces. Many had predicted that Moore would win due to her recent triumphs at the Golden Globe, Critics Choice Award, and SAG Award for her exceptional performance in The Substance. Interestingly, this was Moore’s initial Oscar nomination despite her long-standing career that began in the 1980s.

In the category of Best Actress, we found Cynthia Erivo (from Wicked), Fernanda Torres (I’m Still Here), and Karla Sofia Gascon (Emilia Perez). The movie, The Substance, was up for five Academy Awards – namely Best Picture and Best Director. However, it only managed to win the award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

Following the recent announcement, I joined countless other fans in expressing my disappointment on social media. One user on X posted, “I’m genuinely thrilled for Mikey Madison, but Demi Moore was undeniably shortchanged.” Another echoed my sentiment by stating, “Demi Moore was unjustly overlooked, and I stand firm in this belief.

Here are some more Twitter reactions from fans:

Devotees of horror films were quite displeased as The Substance turned out to be a movie focusing on body horror. One viewer expressed his disappointment by saying, “When will horror movies finally receive the recognition they truly deserve.” Another user sympathized with Demi Moore, stating, “We are deeply sorry, Demi Moore, that you were deprived of the credit you deserved in such a manner.

Some spectators found it unexpected that Madison emerged victorious, considering Moore’s impressive awards season showcase. One fan put it this way: “Is it really the case that Demi Moore gave it her all, swept almost every award (except for SAG), was everybody’s favorite, and yet still lost the Oscar?” Another fan commented: “This was a situation where the less experienced actress triumphed.

Here are some more reactions from Twitter:

Previously this year, as reported by Daily Mail, Moore expressed her long-awaited feelings about receiving Oscar recognition following years in the film industry. During her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes in January, she mentioned, “I’ve always felt like achieving such acclaim wasn’t something I was entitled to, that I could create movies that were financially successful, but I couldn’t receive recognition for it.

Moore explained that The Substance rekindled her love for acting, calling the script daring, distinctive, and utterly unforeseen. She stated that it arrived at a perfect moment for her, causing her to understand that her cinematic voyage was far from completed.
