Demi Moore’s daughters, Scout, Tallulah, and Rumer Willis, were jumping for joy as they celebrated their mom’s Golden Globes win Sunday night.

After Moore, 62, won her first-ever Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her starring role in The Substance, the trio shared a video of their reaction when their mother’s name was called out by presenter Kerry Washington.

“SHE DID IT,” daughter Scout wrote in a comment under the video, which was posted to Instagram, while Rumer commented, “GO MAMA GO. So so proud of you. Omg I love you so much. So well deserved.” Tallulah wrote, “I love her so f***ing much, I have no words.”

Scout added: “This is a huge win for EVERYONE.”

The girls’ post generated more than 71,000 likes, with Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul adding his own praise. “This makes me so happy,” he said. “Way to go Demi!!! Thrilled that you and your beautiful family can celebrate in your brilliance. Big hugs to you all.”

In the body-horror film, Moore plays an aging actress who undergoes an experimental treatment to try and recapture her youth.

Her win came 28 years after she was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in If These Walls Could Talk. It also came 34 years after she was nominated by the Globes in 1991 for Ghost.

Moore, who has never been nominated for an Academy Award, used her acceptance speech to acknowledge the ups and downs in her more than 40-plus year career in Hollywood.

“Thirty years ago I had a producer tell me I was a popcorn actress. And at that time, I made that mean that I wasn’t allowed to have this. That I could do movies that were successful and made a lot of money but that I wouldn’t be acknowledged and I bought in and I believed that,” Moore told the crowd. 

“A few years ago I thought that this was it, maybe I’ve done what I was supposed to do and then I had this magical bold courageous out of the box absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance and the universe told me you’re not done.”

But Moore said her work in writer-director Coralie Fargeat’s (Revenge) film proves she has earned her place among Hollywood’s most revered actresses.

“In those moments when we don’t think we are smart enough or pretty enough, or skinny enough or successful enough or basically just not enough, I had a woman say to me just know you will never be enough, but you can know the measure of your work if you just put down the measuring stick. I treat this as a marker that I do belong,” Moore said.

Moore’s speech went viral on social media, racking up hundreds of thousands of views on X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

“‘This is the first time I’ve won anything as an actor’ my mind can’t comprehend this,” one fan commented, with another adding, “This speech made me cry. Sometimes you forget how hard it is for a woman to last in this industry. So glad she come back stronger than ever.”

“Forty-four years since her movie debut in 1981 and they finally give her an award. Absolutely well deserved and a long time coming from such a legendary actress of our time. She’s definitely paid her dues and congratulations to her!!!” a third person wrote.

Elsewhere, Colin Farrell became an internet darling for shouting out craft services — the team who keep the cast and crew well fed on film sets — for taking care of him while he was shooting The Penguin.

“Oh! Craft service! … Carolina – on those cold winter nights in New York where I was the only one overheating, she’d be there with a coconut water, every half an hour. Carolina, God bless you, she kept the whole crew going,” he said.

After he won Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited series, Anthology Series or Movie Made for Television winner for the Batman spinoff, Farrell quipped, “I guess it’s prosthetics from here on out.”
