Even though The Substance star won numerous prizes during the season, the Anora star defeated Moore at the Academy prizes.
The Oscar-nominated actress reflected on her memorable awards season for her role in The Substance on social media on Monday.
She lost to Anora star Mikey Madison, even though she was the front-runner for Best Actress at the 97th Academy Awards.
However, Moore showed that she is a graceful leading lady and wished Madison the best after her unexpected win.
“As this awards season comes to a close, I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude for this journey,” Moore wrote on Instagram, sharing a video of her behind-the-scenes glam routine ahead of Hollywood’s biggest night.
“It’s been the ride of a lifetime and we’re just getting started! So grateful for my team, my fellow nominees, and everyone who has made this experience so full of joy and light. Thank you to the cast, crew, and fans of @trythesubstance — @isimostar and @coralie_fargeat it’s been such an honor to work alongside you, learn from you, and celebrate this film with you,” she added.
To wrap up her caption, she singled out Madison.
“And a huge congratulations to #MikeyMadison — can’t wait to see what you do next ♥️.”
Madison took home the win for Best Actress for her work in Anora as the titular sex worker at the 2025 Oscars Sunday night.
