This marks the first time a Brazilian actress has received the award 
Brazilian cinema is celebrating a 
historic milestone as actress 
Fernanda Torres received the 
Golden Globe Award for Best 
Actress in the Drama category 
on Sunday (Jan. 5) in Los 
Angeles, USA. 
 
The award, the first ever given to 
a Brazilian actress, honors 
Fernanda Torres’s performance 
in the film “I’m Still Here”. In the 
production, she plays Eunice 
Paiva, a lawyer and the widow of 
Rubens Paiva, a federal representative who was murdered by the military dictatorship in 1971. 
 
Torres competed against Hollywood stars such as Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Tilda Swinton, Pamela 
Anderson, and Kate Winslet. 
 
Twenty-five years ago, Fernanda Montenegro, the mother of Fernanda Torres, was nominated in the 
same category for her performance in “Central Station”. Although she did not win, the film earned the 
Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film. 
 
“This award is proof that art endures, even through the difficult times Eunice Paiva faced and the many 
challenges the world grapples with today. This film makes us reflect on how to persevere in times like 
these. To my mother, my family, my children, and everyone, thank you so much, and thank you to the 
Golden Globes,” said Torres during her acceptance speech. 
 
Both “I’m Still Here” and “Central Station” were directed by filmmaker Walter Salles. 
 
This year, the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film was awarded to the French production Emilia Pérez.
