Demi Moore was a fan favorite to win the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in The Substance. However, in a surprise twist, the award went to Anora star Mikey Madison, and some fans have already shared their disappointment on social media. But as for Demi, she's taking it all in stride—complete with a buffet of french fries.

After the ceremony, the 62-year-old actress attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Afterparty with her three daughters, Rumer Willis, Scout Willis and Tallulah Willis. Once she got home, she kept the party going by slipping into a cozy robe and helping herself to two giant trays of fries. Her daughter, Tallulah, shared a snap of Moore snacking on a fry with a smile on her face as she cuddled her pup, Pilaf. She captioned the post, "MY winner."

Scout reposted the same image to her IG story and wrote, “Queen of my heart!”

The 33-year-old singer then followed up with a pic of her mom's glamorous afterparty look and added a sweet message of encouragement. She wrote, “So beyond proud, this woman is nothing but integrity, bright beaming light and love! What grace. I’ve never been [more] proud to be her daughter.”

Moments before the Oscars ceremony, Rumer also shared a heartfelt tribute to her mom, along with a carousel of throwback photos of the Ghost actress. She wrote, "My mama. My hero. My forever winner. Watching you today, standing in your power, in your brilliance, in the culmination of decades of hard work, resilience, and undeniable talent—I have never been more proud."

Rumer continued, "No matter what happens tonight, you are already victorious in my eyes. Because your legacy isn’t just in the awards or accolades—it’s in the way you have redefined what’s possible, for yourself and for every woman who dares to dream. I love you more than words can say. Now go shine, mama."

Although Moore didn't take home an Oscar this weekend, she did win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role and the Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress.

Following her Golden Globe win, Moore delivered an emotional speech and said, “I’ve been doing this for a long time, over 45 years now and this is the first time I’ve won anything as an actor. I’m so humbled and so grateful. Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me I was a popcorn actress, and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn't something I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn't be acknowledged. And I bought in and I believed that.”

“And so today I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me. And for the gift of doing something I love and being reminded that I do belong. Thank you so much.”

Enjoy those fries, Demi. You've earned them.
