The Substance and Nosferatu created a massive buzz in the horror community this year—but how did they perform at the biggest event in film, the Academy Awards? Demi Moore delivered a standout performance, earning a Golden Globe for Best Actress. Did her success carry over to an Oscars win? Meanwhile, Robert Eggers, renowned for crafting top-tier films, continued to shine with Nosferatu. Did the Academy finally recognize one of this modern horror master's films with a well-deserved award? Or, as is often the case, did horror get overlooked at the grandest stage, walking away empty-handed?   Red River Horror podcast host Joe Zakrzewski and founder Eddie Caiazzo break it all down, joined by their special guest—award-winning movie critic and Red River Horror contributor Staci Layne Wilson.   Reviews for the films mentioned as well as another 2025 nominee (Alien: Romulus) can all be found at www.RedRiverHorror.com.
