"I'm Still Here" garners three nominations for 2025 Oscars
The film I'm Still Here has earned three nominations at the 2025 Oscars. Fernanda Torres received a nomination for Best Actress, while the Brazilian production was nominated in two categories: Best Picture and Best International Feature Film. The announcement was made on Thursday (Jan. 23), in Los Angeles, USA.
Fernanda Torres is competing for the award alongside actresses Cynthia Erivo, Karla Sofía Gascón, Mikey Madison, and Demi Moore.
Earlier this month, Torres won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama, marking the first time the award was presented to a Brazilian.
Twenty-five years ago, Fernanda Montenegro, Torres' mother, was nominated in the same category at the Oscars for her acclaimed performance in Central Station (1998). Although she didn’t win the Oscar, the film did secure the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film.
Both I'm Still Here and Central Station were directed by filmmaker Walter Salles. This year’s Academy Awards ceremony is set to take place on March 2 in Los Angeles.
“Pride”
On social network X, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva celebrated the 2025 Oscars nominations, writing: “How proud! Kisses to Fernanda Torres and Walter Salles.”
Actor Selton Mello, who portrays the character Rubens Paiva in I'm Still Here, also celebrated the Brazilian film’s nominations for the 2025 Oscars. “Brazil at the top!” he wrote on his Instagram profile, sharing a photo of himself alongside Fernanda Torres and Walter Salles.
