It’s an honor for us to have had your brilliant performance in our clips for ‘She Said Goodbye’ and ‘Wherever I Go’, directed by the beloved Andrucha Waddington. CONGRATULATIONS, Fernanda Torres”
In the comments section, João Barone added:
“Brazil is a storehouse of great art talents, in all its areas, literature, music, cinema, theater, plastic arts, dance… Seeing this international recognition for Fernanda only reaffirms this, how necessary it is to believe and invest in our art, in our culture. And this film is a denunciation, as it tells a real story of how Brazil experienced the horror of the dictatorship that arrested, tortured, murdered and disappeared citizens, something that should never be forgotten to NEVER happen AGAIN. Congratulations to our dear Marcelo Rubens Paiva for the book that gave rise to the film. Long live Brazilian cinema, long live national art!”

Fernanda Torres wins Golden Globe
Fernanda Torres won last Sunday (5) — early Monday morning (6) in Brazil — the Golden Globe of Best Actress for the paper in I’m Still Heredirected by Walter Salles. The actress competed for the award with Angelina Jolie (Maria), Nicole Kidman (Babygirl), Kate Winslet (Lee), Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl) and Tilda Swinton (The Room Next Door).
The last time Brazil secured the Golden Globe was in 1999, when Central Brazil (1998) won the award for Best Foreign Film. In the same year, Fernanda Montenegro competed for the Best Actress category, but lost to Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth (1998).
During an interview with TV Globo behind the scenes of the awards ceremony led by Hollywood Foreign Press AssociationFernanda Torres spoke about the expectations she had for the result of the dispute in the category in which she emerged victorious. She said:
“I thought there was no way, the slightest chance. I’m shocked. [Uma emoção muito grande] really, for everything, for the story with mom, with Walter… for Eunice Paiva, for Marcelo Paiva [autor do livro que foi base para o filme e filho de Eunice e Rubens Paiva]I’m so… this film is so beautiful, it’s moving so many things. Marcelo, I didn’t say your name! I love you, man. His book is what moved this film. It’s all very beautiful.”
Furthermore, she recalled how Montenegro had good expectations for the 2025 Golden Globes:
“Mom was sure! She said: ‘I’ll take it’.”
Then, Fernanda Torres reflected on the way she evaluates the victory at the Hollywood awards:
“It’s a very divided year because everyone deserved it. I don’t know. I think our work… I have no idea. I don’t know who will vote, we are doing a lot of work. My name came coming. [A revista] Variety helped immensely, Collider, Deadline. He started a beautiful campaign with me, you know? But I have no idea.”
Furthermore, the actress said that the idea of winning the Golden Globe was very distant and she was already satisfied with just the nomination. Finally, he highlighted the effect that such an achievement could have on Brazilian art.
“I’m really emotional now. I hope even more people go see this film, The Compadecida Auto 2, Sisters and see thousands of beautiful films that we make and that this helps to strengthen cinema, theater and art in Brazil. Let’s be proud of our artists and writers. It’s a little like that. This film brought that back.”
