Mikey Madison says the support she received from Demi Moore during awards season left a lasting impression — and she now wants to offer that same encouragement to other women entering the industry.
Madison reflected on the intense awards campaign that followed her acclaimed performance in Anora. She described being surrounded by actresses she deeply admired, including Moore, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Pamela Anderson, Cynthia Erivo and Zoe Saldaña.
Mikey Madison praises Demi Moore’s support
Rather than remembering the season only as a competition, Madison said one of its most meaningful aspects was the sense of solidarity among the women nominated alongside her. Moore was particularly supportive and publicly celebrated Madison’s success.
The experience has shaped how Madison now thinks about younger or emerging actresses. She said she wants to reassure performers navigating an industry that can be demanding and unforgiving, emphasizing the value of women supporting one another.
Madison’s comments offer a different view of awards season, where rival nominees are often framed as being locked in a race against one another. Behind the scenes, she says, the atmosphere could be much more generous.
The Social Reckoning puts Madison back in the spotlight
Madison is now appearing as whistleblower Frances Haugen in Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, alongside Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong. The film expands on themes introduced in The Social Network.
Celebrity Daily previously covered Madison’s decision to stay off social media while promoting the film.
As her career moves into its post-Oscar chapter, Madison says she is determined to carry forward the support she received — making mentorship and solidarity part of her own approach to Hollywood.
