Demi Moore's 'The Substance' Takes Comedic Route for Golden Globes

Demi Moore's latest film, 'The Substance', directed by Coralie Fargeat, is stirring up interest as it's been entered into the Golden Globes as a musical/comedy instead of a drama. This choice came just before the November 4th deadline, and it wasn't an easy one. The film, released by MUBI, explores the life of an aging Hollywood star, with Moore delivering a powerful performance. 'The Substance' walks a fine line between being a disturbing horror film and a sharp satire on the movie industry's obsession with youth and beauty. This made deciding its category a bit of a headache. Those involved debated whether to push it as a drama or a comedy. The deciding factor might have been Demi Moore's chances of getting nominated or even winning. In the drama category, she'd be up against heavyweights like Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Saoirse Ronan, and Tilda Swinton. But in the comedy field, she faces newer talents like Mikey Madison and Karla Sofía Gascón, alongside seasoned actors like Cynthia Erivo, Amy Adams, and Zendaya.
