As a seasoned observer of the glamorous world of red carpets and high fashion, I must say that this event was truly a spectacle to behold. The diversity and creativity showcased by each honoree and attendee were nothing short of inspiring.

Demi Moore shared that she believed her acting career had come to an end prior to shooting The Substance.

The actress, aged 62, has received a nomination for Best Actress at the Golden Globes for her exceptional portrayal in a critically acclaimed body horror movie, some even claiming it to be the highlight of her acting career.

In the movie, she portrays an aging actress who resorts to acquiring an underground substance to produce a youthful counterpart, hoping to stay significant – but ends up facing dire repercussions instead.

The Ghost star was among the honourees at the SFFILM Awards in San Francisco, California where she received the Maria Manetti Shrem Award for Acting.

On the stage while receiving her award, Demi shared with the crowd that she was unsure about having a future in show business prior to her most recent movie.

She expressed: “My career has been quite extensive, yet I rarely found myself in discussions that granted me access to awards ceremonies and the heartfelt acclaim for my accomplishments. I’m truly awestruck.

At the start of 2022, I encountered a situation during an event where I felt out of place. I found myself questioning my reason for being there. I yearned for invisibility and struggled to find a way to leave.

After contemplating, I mused, ‘Perhaps it’s time for me to move on from this. Perhaps I’ve accomplished all that I set out to do.’ … Exactly two weeks later, the screenplay for ‘The Substance’ landed on my desk.

Demi concluded her speech expressing that she was nearly prepared to leave the industry, but now feels incredibly thankful for not doing so.

That night also recognized were directors Denis Villeneuve (Dune: Part Two), Jason Reitman (Saturday Night), and Malcolm Washington (The Piano Lesson) – a filmmaker who happens to be the son of Denzel Washington.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but notice how elegantly Demi graced the red carpet last night. She was a vision in a sleek, form-fitting black dress and a stylish black denim jacket that perfectly complemented her look.

Stars creating a buzz at the red carpet event organized by the company responsible for the San Francisco International Film Festival were Austin Butler from Dune, Connie Nielsen known for Gladiator II, and Gabrielle LaBelle of Saturday Night.

Demi dressed down her look with a cropped black waxed denim jacket with an attached belt.

She paired the relaxed yet fashionable jacket with an understated silver necklace.

For the night, she welcomed a distinguished visitor – her delightful Chihuahua named Pilaf, a regular feature in her current promotional endeavors.

Joining her on the red carpet was Elvis and Dune: Part Two actor Austin Butler.

He looked classy in a black double-breasted suit with peaked lapels, which he left unbuttoned.

Gladiator II actress Connie Nielsen also favoured black.

She sported an elegant look with a long-sleeved, slit top featuring cushioned shoulder pieces, paired with a lengthy black leather skirt.

In the filming of Dune: Part Two, Denis Villeneuve, the director, cut a sharp figure in a stylish, light-gray suit. However, without a tie, his medium-gray shirt seemed somewhat pale in comparison to it.

Villeneuve was the evening’s winner of the Irving M. Levin Award for Film Direction. 

Jason Reitman favoured a grey–green suit, which he dressed down with a simple white sweatshirt.

As a connoisseur of culture and lifestyle, I am thrilled to share that my work on the film exploring the roots of Saturday Night Live has been recognized. I’ve been humbly bestowed with the Nion McEvoy & Leslie Berriman Award for Storytelling – an honor that underscores the power of narrative in shaping our collective experiences.

Malcolm Washington was being honoured with the George Gund III Award for Virtuosity. 

The filmmaker wore a crimson shirt with black pants and an elegant cashmere overcoat.

In a sharp, dark-gray suit paired with sleek black Chelsea boots, the actor, Gabriel LaBelle, portraying SNL creator Lorne Michaels in Reitman’s Saturday Night, exuded intelligence and style.

He opted to skip a tie for the event, as did several of the other male honourees.

Making a particularly stylish red-carpet appearance was fashion designer Zac Posen.

As a dedicated follower of style, I opted for an intriguing look today, donning a sleek black double-breasted sport coat featuring subtle pinstripes. To maintain a casual yet chic vibe, I paired it with a slim, form-fitting black turtleneck sweater and matching jeans.

The designer posed with Demi on the red carpet. 

They’ve been long-standing companions, with her aiding him during the initial stages of his career, even before his designs graced the red carpet frequently, and him styling her for various occasions throughout the years.

One more noteworthy fashion statement of the evening was owned by Cheryl Dunye, the actress and director of “The Watermelon Woman,” who made history in 1996 as the first openly Black lesbian filmmaker to release a movie.

She wore a striking black jacket with short lapels and contrasting white buttons, along with black trousers, a braided cowboy hat and powder-blue round-frame glasses that matched her nail polish.
