Demi Moore Gets Emotional at SAG Awards as She Wins Best Actress
At the 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, Demi Moore delivered an emotional acceptance speech upon receiving the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her portrayal in “The Substance.”
Reflecting on her extensive career, Moore, now 62, recounted how obtaining her SAG card at the age of 16 profoundly influenced her life, providing it with direction and purpose.
She expressed deep gratitude towards her fellow actors, whom she credited as her greatest teachers, and offered heartfelt advice to emerging performers.
Overcome with emotion, Moore paused during her speech, reminiscing about her younger self who once lacked confidence.
“The Substance,” directed by Coralie Fargeat, is a body horror film that premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim.
The narrative centers on Elisabeth Sparkle, an aging actress who resorts to a black-market drug to rejuvenate herself, leading to unforeseen consequences. She is set to compete for Best Actress at the upcoming 2025 Oscars.
In her speech, Moore also addressed past challenges, revealing how skepticism from a producer once affected her self-perception. She mentioned the transformative power of resilience and self-belief in overcoming such doubts.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
