The Substance director Coralie Fargeat calls on Oscars to give horror chance to 'compete at same level as everything else'

Coralie Fargeat says horror deserves the chance to 'compete at the same level' as other genres at the Oscars

'The Substance' director Coralie Fargeat has called on the Academy Awards to give horror movies the chance to "compete at the same level as everything else."

After leading star Demi Moore took home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her portrayal of Elisabeth Sparkle in the 2024 body horror at the weekend, the filmmaker has urged the Oscars, which rarely honours the genre, to ensure "every movie is considered cinema" ahead of next week’s nominations.
