It has been a season of wins for Demi Moore, and it does not look like it will end anytime soon. The actress continued her awards streak by taking home the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Lead Role for her performance in The Substance.
Her latest win adds to an already impressive season, where she has been nothing short of spectacular at the awards ceremonies. This marks her third major victory this season, following wins at the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards. After this win, netizens think the actress’s chance of winning an Oscar is looking stronger than ever.

In her acceptance speech, Moore reflected on her journey in the industry; she mentioned that she joined SAG at just 15 years old. She expressed gratitude for the organization’s impact on her career, saying, “I knew nothing about acting, but I watched and I listened and I learned from all of you. You have all been my greatest teachers.”
Moore secured the honor over the other nominees in her category. Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez), and Mikey Madison (Anora) all had strong chances of winning the award. However, Moore continues to break her own records. Despite all these wins, Madison, who had the BAFTA win, remains a strong competitor for the Oscars win. Will Moore’s winning streak across multiple ceremonies happen again at The Academy Awards?
Will Demi Moore win an Oscar?
Interestingly, history has also shown that SAG Award winners don’t always secure the Oscar. Notable splits have occurred in recent years, including Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) and Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), who won SAG Awards but missed out on Oscars.
Whether she wins the Oscars or not, Moore’s performance in The Substance has earned recognition and accolades ever since the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. In the movie, the actress plays Elizabeth Sparkle, a former TV fitness icon who undergoes an experimental transformation to remain famous and relevant; however, things go awry fast.
With awards momentum on her side, all eyes are now on the Oscars, where Moore could claim the industry’s highest honor. All fingers crossed as we anticipate The 2025 Academy Awards.
