Demi Moore earned her first Oscar nomination on Thursday, Jan. 23, recognized in the Best Actress category for her performance in 'The Substance.'

Demi Moore had a very emotional reaction to the news that she’d been nominated for an Oscar for the first time in her almost-50-year acting career. On Thursday afternoon, it was announced that the Ghost star was in the running for Best Actress at this year’s Academy Awards following her acclaimed leading performance in the graphic body horror The Substance.

Demi won the Golden Globe for her performance but it’s her nomination for the Oscar that speaks volumes about the state of horror today – it’s never been in a better place.
