After watching the scene in “The Substance” where Elisabeth Sparkle, played by Demi Moore, repeatedly applies and wipes off lipstick in front of a mirror — a chilling metaphor for identity, erasure and self-loathing — I couldn’t have imagined that critics and awards voters would embrace it.

Demi Moore has made a triumphant return to the Golden Globes, winning best actress for a role in a body horror which has revitalised her career. The 62-year-old gave an impassioned speech as she collected her award, telling the audience she was "at a low point" before being cast in The Substance.

"The Brutalist" and "Emilia Pérez" triumphed, "Shōgun" and "Hacks" had big nights, and Nikki Glaser reminded viewers what it's like to have a host who's actually funny in the most memorable Golden Globes ceremony since the awards show nearly atomized a few years ago.
