Several winning actresses tackled the topic of age at the awards.
Demi Moore, 62, noted in her acceptance speech for best film actress in The Substance that she’d spent much of her career believing that while she was successful, she would never receive any major Hollywood accolades.
She said the award reflected the message of the film, a body horror about a woman who trades her body for a younger, more beautiful version of herself.
“I’ll just leave you with one thing that I think this movie is imparting is in those moments when we don’t think we’re smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough, or basically just not enough,” Moore said.
“I had a woman say to me, just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.
After winning her award, she told journalists backstage about how many women spend much of their lives as caretakers and don’t get to spend their energy outward. And now, at 62, she is and “it feels really damn good”.
Jodie Foster, who is the same age as Moore, won the award for best actress in a limited series and said the 60s are a “golden age” because there’s like “a hormone that happens when suddenly you go, ‘Oh, I don’t really care about all the stupid things anymore”.
She called this era the “most contented moment in my career.”
