The actress Fernanda Torres 59, nominated in the category Best Actress node Golden Globe shared a countdown to the award, which takes place this Sunday (5). She competes for the statuette for her work in the film “I’m Still Here” .
According to Variety magazine, the Brazilian is named as the favorite in the category of Best Actress in a Drama Film . The publication highlights that Fernanda Torres “is the only actress among the nominees whose film was also recognized in another category, competing for Best Film in a Non-English Language”.
However, “despite the strong support that Fernanda Torres receives from voters, Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”) and Angelina Jolie (“Maria Callas”) they continue to be strong competitors in the dispute.”
In December, the actress used social media to celebrate the nomination. “Crazy, crazy. Kiss, unbelievable. And Walter, 25 years after him with my mother, really… Life sucks!”
This is because, in 1999, his mother Fernanda Montenegro 95, was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in “Central do Brasil” (1998). Now, 25 years later, the actress’ daughter has achieved the same feat.
“I’m Still Here” is an adaptation of the book of the same name written by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, known for the book “Feliz Ano Velho” — a great sales success in the 1980s. The story takes place in the 1970s, in the most intense period of the military dictatorship in Brazil, and follows the trajectory of the Paiva family, made up of Rubens (played by Selton Mello), Eunice (played by Fernanda Torres) and their children.
The family’s life is completely transformed when, on one fateful day, Rubens Paiva is taken by undercover soldiers and disappears without leaving a trace . Eunice, who will spend decades searching for answers about her husband’s whereabouts, needs to rebuild herself and chart a new path for herself and her children. Learn more about the story.
