Today, the 97th edition of the Oscars took place, an event closely followed by film fans to learn about the standout movies of the year. The Academy, composed of experts, recognizes the technical aspects, acting talent, and directors of the latest films.
This year, the nominated films were 'Emilia Pérez', 'The Brutalist', 'Conclave', 'Anora' and 'La Sustancia', with the latter being a favorite among cinephiles for its great performances by the actresses, characterization, costumes, and soundtrack of Coralie Forgaet's film.
However, 'La Sustancia' was not well received by the Academy, winning only the award for Best Makeup. On the other hand, 'Emilia Pérez' took home two awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best Music.
In the Best Actress category, Demi Moore was nominated for her participation in 'La Sustancia', competing against other notable actresses. Despite the expectations, Moore lost to Mikey Davidson, the young actress from the film directed by Sean Baker.
Additionally, 'La Sustancia' did not manage to win the award for Best Picture, being again surpassed, this time by 'Anora', which excelled in several categories.
After the awards, social media was filled with criticism towards the Academy for Demi Moore's loss. Many users expressed their dissatisfaction and mentioned that the film industry demonstrated what is precisely reflected in the film 'La Sustancia': a preference for young talents at the expense of established stars.
According to film followers, Demi Moore deserved the award for her performance in addressing the difficult reality of women in a society that pressures them to stay young and undergo aesthetic procedures. Moore's defeat against a younger actress resonated with the theme of the movie it represented.
