Ladies and gentlemen, Demi Moore is officially an Oscar nominee! It has been a long, somewhat unpredictable, but very much deserved journey for the actress, who earlier this month also celebrated her very first major award win at the Golden Globes for her now Oscar-nominated role in The Substance.

Demi Moore had a very emotional reaction to the news that she’d been nominated for an Oscar for the first time in her almost-50-year acting career. On Thursday afternoon, it was announced that the Ghost star was in the running for Best Actress at this year’s Academy Awards following her acclaimed leading performance in the graphic body horror The Substance.
