Demi Moore is revealing what went through her mind on Oscar night. The actress was nominated for her first Oscar for her work in "The Substance" in the night's most competitive race. After winning the Golden Globe and the SAG Award, Moore ended up losing the Oscar to Mikey Madison, the lead star of "Anora."

In a conversation with Ryan Murphy for TIME100, Moore revealed she had a "premonition" that she'd lose the award.
“I leaned over and whispered to my manager, ‘I think it’s going to Mikey,’” she said.
“I don’t know why I knew, but I did,” Moore continued. “I was so centered and calm. I didn’t feel gutted. I didn’t feel any of those kinds of things. I just trusted, and am in trust of, whatever is going to unfold.”

While she's wary of putting too much strain on the future, for the time being, these possibilities include a likely movie with Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Erivo, various exciting films and TV shows in production, and a spot on TIME100's prestigious list for the year's most influential people.
