Demi Moore’s Reaction to Losing Oscar to Mikey Madison – Lip Reader Reveals All

In a magical ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday (02.03.2025), Demi Moore left empty-handed after her performance in ‘The Substance’ didn’t secure the golden statuette, despite previous accolades. Meanwhile, Mikey Madison took home the award for her role in ‘Anora’. Tabloids didn’t stop at the news— they hired a lip reader to decipher what Moore said when Madison’s name was announced instead of hers. The video on X shows Moore visibly disappointed, clenching her teeth upon hearing Madison’s name. Top lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail, “Demi says ‘nice’ but doesn’t smile while saying it.” Her body language suggested she forced herself to say it. Moore quickly composed herself and applauded Madison, who beat contenders Fernanda Torres, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Cynthia Erivo. Madison remarked, “This is surreal. I grew up in Los Angeles, but Hollywood always felt so far from me, so standing here today is incredible.” She also acknowledged the sex worker community, stating, “I will continue to support and be an ally to this community which has been one of the most significant aspects of this unforgettable experience.”
