Why has brother bro been geeking out in the thumbnails lately 💀

[naimurrahmanporag]

if Demi Moore gets nominated, God help anyone who wants to talk to me about anything else that day.
I will be screaming in joy

[johnnolan]

Just saw The Substance and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Demi Moore Oscar nomination. I can just hear the press gallery gasp when they announce her name.

[dxvidmcgurk]

A Demi Moore nom would be incredible!! Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

[rebekahp]

Take The Substance- get Demi in Best Actress

[viniciusrocha]

I came here only to watch you talk about Fernanda Torres.

[jgorgchav]

Demi Moore OMG The Academy HAS TO nominate her. Definitely one of the best performances of the year ❤

[amaralandrey]

As a brazilian person, i'ts sooo cool hearing you talking about Fernanda Torres, who's mostly known for comedic roles on TV. Trivia: she has a Cannes prize.

[ryanjaggernath]

Get Demi Moore inside! The Substance 👏👏👏

[Thecoolestpersonudontknow]

The way my heart skips a beat when I see they’ve uploaded

[mattbernabe]

I've already seen 'The Substance' for the 4th time in the theater, and I still love it. As of now, 'The Substance' is my number one favorite movie of the year, and Demi gives the best performance of the year. My fingers are still crossed for her to get that Oscar nomination.

I feel like the hype for Ronan might be overstated, it seems like people like her a lot but they don't like the film a lot, so while she might have some buzz, they could just snub her in the end off the film itself.

[QuaseVingativa]

so excited to see fernanda torres in this conversation, she's amazing

[patrickorourke]

Demi Moore will not win Best actress …. BUT she will snatch a nomination for best actress at the Oscars. It will also get best makeup nomination.

[matheusluquini]

I think Torres will get a bunch of critics awards and will also get in to the Globes (Drama), the BAFTAs, and finally the Oscars.

[KennethConnally-npit]

Did I miss any? What were the most egregious snubs of performances in this genre? I'd say maybe Anthony Perkins in Psycho, Toni Collette in Hereditary, Isabelle Adjani in Possession, Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse, Lupita Nyong'o in Us, Christian Bale in American Psycho, Shelley Duvall and Jack Nicholson in The Shining, Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter, and Mia Goth in Pearl.
