Page Six reported on Monday that Moore, who was “really hopeful” going into the ceremony, was left “heartbroken” after her name wasn’t called.

“Demi is taking this loss very hard because she felt like this was finally her chance to take home an Academy Award,” an insider said.

While she is “thrilled for Mikey” and the other nominees, it was still “a huge disappointment not hearing her name be called.”

The “Striptease” star seemed stunned and tensed her jaw when Madison was announced as the winner, per a video shared on X.
