Recently-minted Oscar winner Mikey Madison revealed that she had a text exchange with fellow nominee Demi Moore after the ceremony.
The Anora star prevailed in the Best Actress category in a shocking victory. Moore was considered to be the frontrunner to win leading up to the ceremony after almost sweeping all televised precursor awards.
Mikey Madison Reveals She Texted with Demi Moore After Winning the Oscar
In an interview the morning after the Oscars ceremony, Madison reflected on her Best Actress victory and how she's been processing her win.
"I’m still kind of floating in a dreamlike state. It was a very, very surreal night — very interesting and obviously, celebratory and wonderful. But I think that I need time to really digest the magnitude of it," she said.
Regarding what she felt when presenter Emma Stone called her name, the actress responded, "I didn’t process it, really. I was just sort floating five feet above the ground, really trying to be present. But in a moment like that, that is so spectacular, you’re just taking everything that comes at you at, like, 10-times speed — but I also simultaneously felt like I was moving in slow motion."
When asked whether she was in touch with the other Best Actress nominees after she won the Oscar, Madison shared that she chatted with Fernanda Torres and exchanged text messages with Moore.
"I saw Fernanda and we hugged. And I texted with Demi, who I adore. She’s one of the sweetest, kindest women I’ve ever met, and I’m so grateful that I was able to meet her and witness her brilliance and talent in person," she revealed.
"I adore her and I can’t wait to see what she does next, what kind of characters she brings us. I think we’re all so ready and excited to see that."
