Will ‘General Hospital’ Alum, Demi Moore, Win the Oscar for Best Actress?
It’s Hollywood’s biggest night of the year, when this Sunday, March 2nd, the 97th Annual Academy Awards are broadcast live on ABC beginning at 7PM ET/4PM PT.
General Hospital alum Demi Moore (ex-Jackie Templeton, 1982-1984), is the current odds-on favorite to take home the gold for Best Actress for her performance as aging Hollywood starlet, Elisabeth Sparkle in the film, The Substance. But, could there be an upset from Mikey Madison for her performance in Anora or another one of this year’s nominees?
Thus far during awards season, Moore has captured Lead Actress victories at the Critics Choice, Golden Globes for Actress in a Comedy/Musical, Screen Actors Guild and AARP Movies for Grownups. Madison has taken home the prize at the BAFTA’s and the Independent Spirit Awards. Competing alongside Moore and Madison are: Fernanda Torres for I’m Still Here, who also took home the Golden Globes for Actress in a Drama, Karla Sofía Gascón in Emilia Pérez and Cynthia Erivo in Wicked.

Other General Hospital alums have won Oscars including: Jamie Ray Newman (ex-Kristina Cassadine, 2001-2003) when she received the gold statuette for producing the Live Action Short film, The Skin with her husband, Guy Nattiv in 2019. And even though she won her two Lead Actress Oscars before ever appearing on General Hospital, screen icon, Elizabeth Taylor (ex-Helena Cassadine, 1981) won for Butterfield 8 (1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966).
Back in 2021, actor K.J. Apa talked with Moore in a conversation about their careers in Interview Magazine, when she said about first big acting gig on General Hospital, “I was fully faking it till I made it. I had no clue what I was doing.”
Now with films under her belt such as Ghosts, Indecent Proposal, GI Jane, Disclosure and so many more, Hollywood looks to be ready to give Moore her due at age 62-years-old.

Moore was featured in a segment called “Soap Starts” on Netflix’s broadcast of the 31st annual SAG Awards last weekend, which featured celebrities who got their first big break in soap operas. Demi was shown in a scene from General Hospital opposite Tony Geary as Luke Spencer. In case you missed it, you can find it at the 1:47:00 mark before the Lead Actor award is given off.
Later, when Demi was named Lead Actress during her SAG Award acceptance speech, she shared, “As I was thinking about this night, I realized I hadn’t thought back to when I got my membership to this incredible organization. It was in 1978. I was 15, almost 16, and it changed my life because it gave me meaning, it gave me purpose, and it gave me direction because I was a kid on my own who had no blueprint for life, and I certainly knew nothing about acting, but I watched. And I listened, and I learned from all of you. You have all been my greatest teachers. And I am so, so grateful that I have continued over these so many years to be able to try and sometimes succeed and sometimes fail, but to be able to keep going.”
So, do you think Demi Moore will take home the Oscar for Best Actress on Sunday night for her performance in The Substance at 97th annual Academy Awards? Share your thoughts and picks via the comment section.
Demi totally deserves it
After learning some details from her memoir, it’s a miracle she is even alive. What a survivor she is. I certainly wouldn’t mind at all if she won. And I remember her on GH and I always liked her. I wish her the best.
Mikey Madison for the Win… Hands down… the most nunanced and the most dynamic perforamnce out of all the other contenders including, Demi. She was a total let-down.
The Oscar will go to Mikey Madison for Anora!
In the words of Blanche dDvereaux, “Damn, I’m good“… Anora won 5 out of 6 Oscar Awards including Best Actress, Mikey Madison and the film itself, Anora for Best Picture!!!
Demi did give quite a performance in a jarring film. My gut is saying that Mikey Madison will pull it out in a good night for Anora.
Anora is a terrible movie – a heterosexual male fantasy movie, and Madison’s performance is horrible – screeching and totally unpleasant. Anora is one of the worst movies of 2024.
I’m not a hetero male, and I, like many others, appreciated her performance (and the film).
OG Steve, I‘m with you on this one… I’ve seen Anora three times and it will win best picture, no doubt and Mickey Madison will definitely get the Oscar for Lead Actress, no doubt.
It’s equally important to note and acknowledge that Fernanda Torres won the Golden Globe (2025) for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama.
Demi Moore won the same title yet it was for Comedy/Musical. I didn’t find the film comical, whatsoever.
I’m still rooting for Mikey Madison for Anita…. Though, don’t discount Torres.
Mikey for the win
Good call! I second that with you, Jeremy, and OG Steve, too, the actress nailed every single scene for Lead Actress in Anora. Mikey Madison was flawless. She completely killed it!.
*Anora
While I personally would cast my vote for Fernanda Torres I expect Demi Moore to win. She’s my #2. So long as Mikey Madison doesn’t win for that awful screechy Anora performance (and what a terrible choice for BP!) I can be happy. Demi was terrific, especially the scene when she is getting ready for her date and not liking what she sees in her mirror.
The irony of Demi Moore losing to the gawd-awful pretty young thing Mikey Madison for her shrieking for two hours in the truly terrible Anora is that the theme of The Substance is precisely that older women are denied in our society in favor of younger women. Mikey Madison, who has done NOTHING in her short career won because the older men of the academy want to have sex with her so voted for the hetero male fantasy movie about the prostitute who married a hot young John who purchases her, she has lots of drugs and sex – which is glorified, and she is attacked and attacks and uses her body. Anora is a vile movie in myriad ways. People have completely lost their minds.
I feel so bad for Demi Moore and also for Fernanda Torres, who both gave great performances but they are older and therefore lose to the pretty younger woman who has far less talent. Blech!
Somehow you’ll survive. The narrative that Mikey only won because hetero males desire her falls apart once you consider the female and gay male voting blocks.
Anora winning a block of awards (including a record setting 4 Oscars in one night for Sean Baker) solidifies its strength as a film. Well done.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: If Jason Leaves the Mob, What Will He Do Next?

As had been teased since Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) captivity by the WSB and his release on General Hospital, he is clearly having issues speaking about what happened to him, after he was dragged away from Port Charles when he took the fall for Rocco (Finn Carr) who shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Now. as Jason tries to reacclimate to life back in Port Charles, he has already displayed that he wants to do better for his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and the people he loves and to show up for them.
In addition, things took a turn on the Friday, July 31 episode where after Sonny (Maurice Benard) questioned Jason if he was having an issue with Ric (Rick Hearst) working side by side with his half-brother, Jason had something to say.

An emotional Jason tells Sonny, “I can’t work for you anymore.” The moment left Sonny dumbfounded, and viewers won’t know the pick-up of the conversation till Monday’s August 3 episode of GH.
Could it be that this time Jason will cut ties with Sonny and the mob for good? If so, it would be the end of an era for Jason and Sonny, sort of the Batman and Robin of GH with a twist.
Previous teases from the GH co-head writing team of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, and Burton himself on his podcast That’s Awesome ,seem to indicate there is a change coming for Jason that sends him off in a different path in his life.
However, we should learn Jason’s reasons shortly, and if Sonny can talk him back into the mob, or can just wish Jason the best and let him go. But now the question becomes, if Jason exits life as Sonny’s right hand man and henchman, what do you see him doing with his life? We do know that Jason is aware that Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) has tied to the WSB, since he escorted him to Port Charles via Jakarta on the plane which may be a clue.
Weigh-in below: Do you want Jason to go work for the Quartermaines and truly join the family in full? Do you see him doing something to help those in need, or do you see him going undercover with the WSB to expose some of the treacherous things they perpetrated on him and others, or do you see Jason doing something completely different with his life? If so, what? Let us know your hopes and thoughts for Jason in the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ethan Lovett Hightails Out of the Country, Christian Howard Wraps His Stint

That was quick! Christian Howard, who now looks to have literally stepped in for Nathan Dean to wrap up a few episodes for the character of Ethan Lovett made a quick exit on Friday’s July 31 episode of General Hospital.
GH viewers were stunned earlier this week on the Monday, July 27 episode when a voiceover announcer shared that Christian Howard was now playing Ethan Lovett. Next, Ethan hits the sheets with Ava Jerome, played by three-time Daytime Emmy-winner, Maura West. All seemed to be moving forward when suddenly at the end of the Thursday, July 30 episode, Ethan spots newcomer Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) at the Metro Court Pool, and makes a quick getaway.
Then, it’s revealed after packing his bags at Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) house, that out of nowhere, Ethan received a lead on an incredible opportunity so he has to say goodbye to Lulu and run out of town and was leaving Port Charles.

RUNNING OUT OF TOWN
In fact, Ethan was in such a hurry, he forgot to say goodbye to Ava who had been waiting for him at the Metro Court pool. There is clearly a connection to Hudson and baby Phoebe after Ethan spotted the guy, because Ethan also glanced over to the baby and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) at the Metro Court pool, before he ran to Lulu’s to pack his things. All of this points to Howard being an emergency recast for Dean.
It’s definitely been a week of change on-screen on the ABC soap with the news of Maxie, Spinelli, James, Georgie and Bailey all suddenly leaving Port Charles for Australia, after Spinelli got an offer he could not turn down.
That exit was written because Kirsten Storms is at this time,, and the very foreseeable future, not returning to General Hospital and is living in Tennessee. As she had documented via her Instagram stories and posts, she has been going through several personal ordeals. In addition to Storms, Ryan Paevey also exited the series earlier this month when he ended his run as Cassius Faison, while leaving the door open for his return down the line.
So, will newcomers Kelly Kruger (Serena Baldwin), Dean Geyer (Tristan Roberts) and Troy Lennon Appel fill the void of the multitude of exits? What are your theories on Christian Howard’s departure as Ethan Lovett on GH? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘Knots Landing’ Favorite Donna Mills Joins ‘OnlyFans’

Donna Mills, who at 85-years-old is still turning heads, booking film and TV roles and co-hosting the We’re Knot Done Yet podcast with her Knots Landing pals, Michele Lee (ex-Karen) and Joan Van Ark (ex-Valene), is now joining the world of Only Fans.
The news came Mills herself in a statement, where she shared to Variety, “I’ve always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I’ve received from my fans over the years. Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected, but I’m excited to join OnlyFans because it offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection.”
While OnlyFans is primarily known for its steamy content, Mills is taking a different approach, explaining that she will be “sharing moments from my daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way. It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am.”

WHY DID DONNA MILLS JOIN OTHER CELEBRITIES ON ONLYFANS?
Andy Bachman, CEO Creators INC who presides over OnlyFans also shared in a statement, “This is not about changing who she is. It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love. Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time. She told me, ‘YOLO — let’s do it,’ and that perfectly captures her attitude. She is approaching OnlyFans on her own terms and creating a space that feels authentic, personal and completely true to her.”
Mill’s move to OnlyFans comes on the heels of others in Hollywood who are pivoting to the platform not only for its revenur, but to control their own narrative of what they want put out into the world about themselves. One example is Shannon Elizabeth of American Pie and Scary Movie fame, who told Variety that since April she has earned more than $1.2 million in seven days via her OnlyFans account.

FROM THE CUL DE SAC AT SEAVIEW CIRCLE TO PORT CHARLES
While Donna Mills is best- known for her role as Abby Cunningham Ewing on Knots Landing from 1980-1989, 1993, she also won a Daytime Emmy for her role of Madeline Reeves on General Hospital. Mills played the evil mother to Nina Reeves (then Michelle Stafford) and sister to Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) from 2014-2015 and again in 2018.
The veteran actress also had a leading role in the soap opera, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, where she and GH’s late, great sister, Leslie Charleson (ex-Monica Quartermaine, GH) played sisters Laura and Iris Donnelly from 1967-1970. Mills began her soap career on The Secret Storm back in 1966.
So, what do you think of Donna Mills joining OnlyFans? Do you think the once exclusive provocative content platform, which is going more Hollywood, will ultimately be where big named celebrity post their own content? Share your thoughts via the comment section below, and in case you missed it, you can check out the Michael Fairman Channel’s most recent chat with Donna Mills from earlier this year and our livestream with Donna, Michele and Joan from 2025 below.
