Demi Moore Handles Oscars Loss with French Fries and Furry Comfort After Fans Cry She Was 'Robbed'

Demi Moore may not have walked away with an Oscar last night, but she certainly won the Internet's heart by showing the world how to handle a loss with style, grace, and just the right amount of carbs. The 62-year-old actress, who was widely expected to clinch her first Academy Award for her role in 'The Substance', lost out to Mikey Madison, the young star of 'Anora'.

Instead of sulking, Moore was seen in a photo shared by her daughter, Tallulah Willis, cozying up with her adorable dog Pilaf in a white robe while enjoying not one, but two bowls of French fries. Willis aptly captioned the snapshot, "MY winner," with a French fry emoji—a sentiment echoed by many of Moore's fans.

Moore’s awards season had been nothing short of spectacular. She snagged a string of honors, including a Golden Globe, a SAG Award, and a Critic's Choice Award, for her portrayal of Elizabeth Sparkle in 'The Substance'. But the Oscar eluded her, leaving fans outraged and flooding social media with cries of injustice. "Demi Moore made a movie about how Hollywood treats older actresses, only to lose the Oscar to a younger one. The irony is painful," one user on X (formerly Twitter) lamented.

While accepting her earlier awards, Moore reflected on her career's twists and turns, sharing how she once doubted her place in Hollywood. "I thought a few years ago that this was it. Maybe I was complete. At a low point, this bonkers script came across my desk. The universe told me I’m not done," she said at the Golden Globes. Her win there, she added, was a reminder that she "does belong."

The film 'The Substance' resonates deeply with audiences, as it tells the story of an aging actress who is fired from her TV show due to her age. In desperation, she injects herself with a mysterious substance that produces a younger version of herself, with predictably chaotic results. Fans praised Moore for shining a light on Hollywood's harsh treatment of older women and its obsession with youth. "You made a film for every person who’s ever been told, 'If you changed, you’d be deserving of love,'" a fan commented on Moore’s Instagram.

Despite the loss, Moore took the high road, congratulating Madison on her win in an Instagram post. "As this awards season comes to a close, I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude for this journey. It’s been the ride of a lifetime and we’re just getting started," she wrote, thanking her cast, crew, and fans.

While some fans raged on her behalf—calling her loss a "robbery"—others highlighted the positives. "On the bright side, Demi Moore won many awards this season and got introduced to a younger audience. Here’s hoping amazing scripts keep coming her way!" one user shared.

Whether the Academy got it right or wrong is up for debate, but one thing's for sure: Demi Moore knows how to turn a loss into a win, one French fry at a time. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to spend a post-Oscars evening with a fluffy dog and crispy fries?
