The Substance's Best Picture Oscar Nomination Is Even More Surprising Considering This Horror First

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِيتم التحقق من هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي كعضو.]

While The Substance’s Best Picture nomination is impressive on its own merits, one aspect of the horror movie’s genre makes it particularly surprising. Revenge director Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance is a wild body horror with a broad sense of dark humor and one of the most audaciously gruesome endings in recent Hollywood history. Demi Moore’s fearless turn in The Substance is a career-best role, but until a few weeks ago, it seemed vanishingly unlikely that this part would be recognized by the Academy. After all, it is common knowledge that the Oscars rarely award horror movies.
