The actress’s Golden Globes win and poignant speech just catapulted her to Oscar-frontrunner status. It’s gratifying, but doesn’t make up for the sexism she faced in her career.

Demi Moore has made a triumphant return to the Golden Globes, winning best actress for a role in a body horror which has revitalised her career. The 62-year-old gave an impassioned speech as she collected her award, telling the audience she was "at a low point" in her career before being cast in The Substance.

But Moore’s breakout in the Oscar race isn’t just a personal victory; it’s a watershed moment for a genre long ignored by awards bodies. Moore leads a new wave of respect for horror alongside genre-defining performances such as Kathy Bates’ Oscar-winning turn in “Misery” (1990).
