Mikey Madison Stuns, Wins Best Actress Oscar 2025 Over Frontrunner Demi Moore for 'Anora'

In a surprising turn at the 2025 Oscars, Mikey Madison took home the Best Actress award for her role in 'Anora,' defeating frontrunner Demi Moore. Moore, nominated for 'The Substance' after winning the Golden Globe, Critics' Choice, and SAG Award, graciously congratulated Madison on social media. Madison's victory follows her BAFTA win, solidifying her as a strong contender. Other nominees included Fernanda Torres, Cynthia Erivo, and Karla Sofía Gascón. A stunned Madison acknowledged her fellow nominees in her acceptance speech. Despite the loss, Moore celebrated the evening with her daughters at the Vanity Fair party and later enjoyed a relaxed celebration at home with her dog.
