Demi Moore lost an Oscar, but not her appetite.

The actress, 62, snacked on French fries in a photo taken by her daughter, Tallulah Willis, following the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday night, where Mikey Madison beat her in the best actress race.

Moore wore a robe and smiled at the camera with a fry in her hand and her dog, Pilar, in her lap. She sat on the ground against a couch in front of two trays of fries.

Classy Timmy.

Timothée Chalamet failed to walk away with the coveted Best Actor trophy at the 2025 Oscars, which would’ve made him the youngest winner in the category ever. He was nominated for playing Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.”

Instead, Adrien Brody won the category for his performance in “The Brutalist.”

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by E! News, Chalamet, 29, could be seen seated and clapping after Brody, 51, was announced as the Best Actor winner.

Adrien Brody didn’t know what to do with his gum while accepting his Oscar for best actor on Sunday — so he tossed it to his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman.

The “Brutalist” star realized he was still chewing as he walked up the stairs to the stage and blew kisses to the awards show’s audience.

Brody, 52, paused, reached into his mouth and removed the gum while turning back toward his seat.

Demi Moore’s one-word reaction to losing out on the Best Actress Oscar has been revealed by an expert lip reader.

“The Substance” star lost out on the coveted award to Mikey Madison, 25, who won for her role in “Anora” at Sunday night’s star-studded ceremony.

Moore, 62, looked visibly disappointed and gritted her teeth as Madison’s name was called, as seen in a video on X.

“Demi says ‘nice’ but she isn’t smiling when she says it,” top lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail of Moore’s icy reaction. “Her body is almost nodding like she had to force herself to say it.”

The actress quickly recovered and started clapping for Madison, who beat out fellow nominees Fernanda Torres, Karla Sofía Gascón and Cynthia Erivo.

Selena Gomez and her “Emlilia Perez” co-star, Karla Sofía Gascón, were forced to come face-to-face at the 2025 Oscars — months after Gascón’s scathing remarks about Gomez.

The duo rubbed shoulders with the Hollywood elite on Sunday night, where Gascón was nominated for Best Actress but ultimately lost out to “Anora” star Mikey Madison.

The star-studded event came just weeks after several of Gascón’s’s past social media posts resurfaced, in which she criticized Muslim culture and George Floyd.

She even allegedly called Gomez a “rich rat” before being cast with her in “Emilia Perez.”

In a now-viral exchange, Gascón — who skipped the red carpet — was seen walking over to Gomez, who was sat in her seat during the Oscars ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

As Gascón, 52, approached the “Love On” singer, Gomez stood up, and awkwardly kissed her co-star on the cheek before sitting back down.

Colman Domingo may have lost out for best actor to Adrien Brody at the Oscar on Sunday.

But the “Sing Sing” actor took top honors for “best party starter” during a commercial break at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Sipping and shaking it onstage, Domingo led a dance party to Frankie Beverly and Maze’s classic “Before I Let You Go.”

Rocking a double-breasted red and black tuxedo from Valentino, he had everybody on their feet, shouting out to best actress nominee Cynthia Erivo.

It certainly didn’t look as if Domingo was too worried about losing out for best actor for the second year in a row after lear’s year nomination for “Rustin” — a back-to-back feat last accomplished by Denzel Washington in 2017-18.

And she caught it.

Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, there was Mikey Madison.

The 25-year-old actress has been garnering recognition during the 2025 award show season thanks to her critically acclaimed role in the 2024 film “Anora.”

Madison took home a BAFTA for Best Actress for her portrayal of the exotic dancer Anora and was also nominated at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Academy Awards.

Speaking with the Los Angeles Times in December about how her life has changed since her rise to fame, the star admitted, “I think some of it doesn’t seem super genuine.”

"Anora" beat out frontrunner "The Brutalist" for the award, a victory perhaps foreshadowed by "Anora" star Mikey Madison's wins for Best Actress, besting odds-on favorite Demi Moore for her performance in "The Substance."

The night's biggest prize was introduced by "When Harry Met Sally" stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, who has hosted the Oscars 9 times.

Accepting his record fourth Oscar of the night, writer-director Sean Baker, himself a longtime celebrated independent filmmaker, concluded his remarks: "I want to thank the Academy for recognizing a truly independent film. This film was made on the blood sweat and tears of incredible indie artists. Long live independent film."

“A Complete Unknown”
“The Substance”
“The Brutalist”
“Wicked”
“Conclave”
“Dune: Part Two”
“Emilia Perez”
“I’m Still Here”
“Nickel Boys"

An Oscars upset.

Mikey Madison won Best Actress for her role in "Anora" over Demi Moore for "The Substance."

"This is very surreal. Forgive me, I'm nervous," Madison, 25, said on stage as she read her speech off a note.

She gave a shoutout to her family and the other people involved in making "Anora."

"I also want to recognize and honor the sex worker community," she said. "I will continue to support and be an ally."

Madison also recognized her fellow nominees and called her win "a dream come true."

WINNER: Sean Baker — “Anora”

Nominees:
Brady Corbet — “The Brutalist”
James Mangold — “A Complete Unknown”
Jacques Audiard — “Emilia Perez”
Coralie Fargeat — “The Substance”

He's a two-time Oscar winner now.

Adrien Brody won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in "The Brutalist."

He beat out Timothée Chalamet, Sebastian Stan, Ralph Fiennes and Colman Domingo.

Brody kissed his girlfriend, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, and hugged his co-stars, and then he tossed his gum to Chapman, as he went on stage to accept the award from last year's winner, "Oppenheimer" star Cillian Murphy.

"If I may just humbly begin by giving thanks for the tremendous outpouring of love for this world and every individual who has treated me with respect and appreciation," he said in his emotional speech. "I feel so fortunate."

He went on to recognize his fellow nominees, his castmates including Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones, director Brady Corbet, and Chapman and her two children that she shares with ex-husband Harvey Weinstein.

"Dash and India, I know it's been a rollercoaster, but thank you for accepting me into your life, and Popsy's coming home a winner," he said in his message to Chapman's kids.

When the Oscars music started playing, Brody told them to turn it off and promised to keep the rest of his speech brief. "Not my first rodeo," he joked.

He then gave a shoutout to his parents for creating "such a strong foundation of respect and kindness and a wonderful spirit. They've given me the strength to pursue this dream."

Brody finished his speech by advocating against anti-semitism and racism and said, "I pray for a happier and healthier and more inclusive world."
