In the midst of the revelry of the pre-carnival of São Paulo, actress Alessandra Negrini, queen of the Baixo Augusta Academic Block, expressed her confidence in the chances of the Brazilian movie “I’m still here” in the Oscar.
During an interview with the CNN Brazil Negrini did not hesitate to say, “It’s not my guess, it’s my certainty that we will win everything, and we have already won everything.”
The film, based on the book of the same name by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, received three nominations for the prestigious awards, marking a historic moment for national cinema.

Carnival in São Paulo breaks records
The Baixo Augusta academics, one of the city’s most traditional and gigantic blocks, paraded on pre-carnival Sunday, animating thousands of revelers in the central region of the state capital. The event is part of a carnival that promises to be great, expecting to attract 16 million people to the entire state of São Paulo, a record number.
The Military Police reported that, only on Saturday, 41 occurrences related to Carnival were attended throughout the state, 17 of a criminal nature and two of theft. Nine people were detained, highlighting the importance of security measures during the festivities.
Block tributes and attractions
The Academic Block of Baixo Augusta not only celebrates Carnival, but also pays honors. This year, the parade refers to the sambista Jorge Aragão, iconic representative of Brazilian music, who will perform on the electric trio with the theme “The Force of Our Bagotes”. In addition, the event features presentations by Tássia Reis, Tulipa Ruiz, Iago Proprio and Otto, among other artists.
With temperatures reaching 36 ° C and forecast of rain showers for the end of the day, the revelers face the intense heat to enjoy the party, which extends until 19h. Carnival Sunday in São Paulo has almost 90 blocks around the city, including attractions such as “Who saw me lied” and “outbreak” with Luísa Sonza, promising a day full of music and joy for Paulistanos and tourists.
