By winning the 2025 Golden Globes' Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical, it's necessary to take Demi Moore more seriously in the Oscars race for Best Actress.

It's only happened seven times since 2000 - but the Golden Globes and Oscars matched the last two years.

SAG, WGA, and PGA are all opportunities for her to solidify her place among the elite of the elite this awards season. If she can continue to win at these ceremonies and deliver more powerful, emotional speeches, the momentum should continue to shift in her direction. That could result in Demi Moore becoming an Oscar winner on March 2nd then.
