the coveted Golden Globe Award goes to Fernanda Torres for her powerful performance in I'm Still Here! The Brazilian actress earned her first-ever nomination and secured a win, marking a significant milestone in her career.
A Historic Night for Brazil
On the red carpet, Fernanda shared her excitement with Entertainment Tonight, noting that she is only the second Brazilian ever to be nominated for a Golden Globe. Remarkably, her mother was the first, making this moment even more poignant. With her signature warmth and charm, she likened the night to being in Disneyland, eagerly stating her desire to meet as many people as possible.
A Heartfelt Acceptance Speech
Overwhelmed with emotion, Fernanda admitted she hadn’t prepared a speech, believing the nomination alone was a victory. She began by praising the incredible performances of her peers, calling it an extraordinary year for women in film.
She gave special thanks to her collaborator and friend, Walter Salles, calling him a true partner in bringing I'm Still Here to life. Fernanda dedicated the award to her late mother, whose own nomination 25 years ago paved the way for this unforgettable moment.
“This is proof that art can endure through life, even in difficult moments,” Fernanda said, her voice trembling with emotion. She referenced the challenging times faced globally and reflected on how the film explores themes of resilience and hope during adversity.
Gratitude Overflowing
Fernanda concluded her speech by thanking her family, including her children and colleagues Andrucha and Selton, along with the film's distributor, Michael Barker.
As she clutched her Golden Globe, Fernanda left the stage to a standing ovation, cementing her place in cinematic history.#GoldenGlobes2025, #FernandaTorres,#ImStillHere,#BrazilianExcellence,#WalterSalles
