Moore, who won the Best Actress prize for her role as a professor who develops a rare form of Alzheimer's at the age of 50 in the film Still Alice, accepted her Oscar by paying tribute to those who suffer from the illness and highlighting the fact that "so many people with this disease feel isolated and marginalised."
