Demi Moore, a Hollywood veteran with over four decades of experience, finally snagged her first major acting award. She took home the Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy for her role in "The Substance. " Moore, now 62, was clearly surprised and grateful, saying, "I'm in shock. I've been at this for over 45 years, and this is my first solo acting award. "

Moore's career stretches back to the '80s with hits like "Blame It on Rio" and "St. Elmo's Fire. " She's been nominated for Golden Globes before, but this is her first win. In her emotional speech, she shared how a producer once told her she was just a "popcorn actress, " someone who makes money but isn't worthy of awards. She admitted this comment hurt her confidence over the years.

But then came "The Substance, " a unique film where she plays an aging star who uses an experimental drug to become younger. The film was a hit, making $77. 8 million on a $17. 5 million budget. Moore thanked those who supported her and said, "I do belong. " She also shared a powerful message: "In those moments when we don’t feel enough, just know your worth and put down the measuring stick.
