Fernanda Torres and the Best Actress Award

As mentioned, FERNANDA TORRES is in the individual dispute for Oscar. The Brazilian competes for the Best Actress Award, one of the main event, for the role of Eunice Paiva in the movie I’m still heredirected by Walter Salles.

It is worth remembering how recognition happens 26 years after her mother, Fernanda Montenegrobe indicated in the same category in the Oscar 1999 put Central do Brasil (also directed by Salles). Unfortunately, she lost Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in love.

Apparently, Torres arrives with real chances of victory. According to the columnist and entertainment critic Johnny Oleksinskifrom New York Post – In analysis published before the disclosure of the nominees – the Brazilian is one of the main competitors for the best actress award and wages a direct dispute with Demi Moorein the match by The substance.

Oleksinski pointed out that the growing admiration for Fernanda and Demi weakened the chances of other actresses in the category, as Nicole Kidman (Babygirl) and Angelina Jolie (Maria), which were considered favorite at the beginning of the season. In fact, the two were not even indicated: in addition to Torres and Moore, dispute the award Cynthia Erivo (Wiced), Karla Sofa Gasco (Emilia Pérez), Mikey Madison (Anora).

The prize delivery ceremony is scheduled for March 2, 2025, with presentation of Conan O’Brien. The broadcast in Brazil will be from the channel TNT and the streaming service Max.

Fernanda Torres and Demi Moore considered themselves “zebras”

FERNANDA TORRES won the Golden Globe in the category Best Actress in Drama Movie. In turn, Demi Moore took home the prize Best actress in comedy or musical film. The speeches of both artists made it clear that they did not seem to wait for recognition.

The Brazilian, for example, said she had not even prepared a speech. She stated:

“My God, I didn’t prepare anything because I was already satisfied. This was an amazing year for women’s performances. So many actresses here that I admire so much. And of course, I want to thank you, Walter Salles, my partner, my friend. What a story, Walter! And, of course, I want to dedicate this award to my mother. You have no idea. She was here for 25 years. And this is proof that art can last for life, even during difficult times, like this amazing Eunice Paiva, which I did, has passed. And the same thing that is happening now, in a world with so much fear. And this movie helps us think about how to survive at hard moments like this. ”

Already the American recalled when a producer defined her as a “popcorn actress,” as if she were unable to do a remarkable job for specialized awards and critics.

“I’ve been in this profession for a long time, over 45 years, and this is the first movie of my actress career in which I win. […] For 30 years, a producer told me that I was a ‘popcorn actress’, and at that time I interpreted it as if I was not entitled to something like this, that I could make successful and profitable movies, but it would never be recognized. I believed it, I bought this idea, and over time it eroded me, to the point that I thought a few years ago, that maybe it was the end, that maybe I had done everything I should do. And while I was in a difficult time, a magical, bold, brave, off -box, absolutely insane script came to my table, called the substance, and the universe told me that I was not over yet. ”
