Demi Moore earned her first Golden Globe trophy on Sunday for his role in “The Substance”.
After taking the stage to accept the award, Moore, 61, admitted that she was “in shock”.
“I’ve been doing this for a long time, over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve won anything as an actor,” Moore told the crowd at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

IN “Substance”, Moore played an actress who was unceremoniously fired from her fitness show at the age of 50, deemed too old to be desirable.
In an attempt to further her career, she uses a miracle drug that promises to create a very literal younger version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley, though it comes with a bloody and brutal price.

After catching her breath and explaining that she was “so humbled, so grateful,” Moore recalled the moment in her career when a producer told her she was just a “popcorn actress.”

“At the time, that meant it wasn’t something I was allowed to have … that I couldn’t be acknowledged,” Moore said.
“I bought and I believed that … it was eating away at me overtime.”
She added: “A few years ago I thought that was it. Maybe I was complete, I did what I needed to do. At my lowest point, this crazy script came across my desk. The universe told me I wasn’t done.”
Moore recalled one woman who told her to stop competing with others and that she would never “be enough,” but how important it was to know her own worth if she would just “put down the marking stick.”
Before walking off the stage, the “GI Jane” actress said the award was “a reminder that I belong.”
