Demi Moore Praises Fellow Actors in Inspiring SAG Awards 2025 Win for ‘The Substance’

At the 2025 SAG Awards, Demi Moore won Best Actress for her role in ‘The Substance’.

Moore discussed her career path during the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which were held at the Shrine Auditorium and hosted by Kristen Bell.  She explained how, in 1978, at the age of 15, she became a member of SAG, an event that changed her life and gave her direction and purpose.  She had no clear path growing up, so she looked to other actors for guidance.  In addition to expressing thanks for the chance to pursue her profession through both successes and disappointments, she acknowledged the value of the support she has received throughout her career and hailed her co-actors as her greatest teachers.
