‘The Substance’ Is Officially an Academy Award Winner

Director Coralie Fargeat’s body horror movie The Substance was nominated for five Oscars at the Academy Awards last night, a rare feat for the horror genre that was cause for celebration no matter which statues (if any) the film ended up taking home. The bad news? The Substance didn’t end up winning Best Picture. The good news? It didn’t go home empty handed.
The Substance is now officially an Oscar winner, with the film winning one of the five awards it was nominated for. The Demi Moore-starring horror movie, which explores the horrors of aging in the entertainment industry, won the Oscar for Best Makeup & Hairstyling.
Pierre-Olivier Persin, Stéphanie Guillon, and Marilyne Scarselli are the artists honored with the award, with The Substance beating out A Different Man, Emilia Pérez, Nosferatu and Wicked in the category. It’s the first Academy Award won by a movie distributed by Mubi.
