Brazil Celebrates ‘I’m Still Here’ Oscar Win as a ‘Milestone’ in Its Movie Industry Surge
As a movie critic immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival, I found myself caught up in the excitement when the announcement of “I’m Still Here” winning an Oscar echoed through the Sambadrome. The news ignited a wave of jubilation that swept across the crowd, as if the city itself was celebrating this triumph. Interestingly, best actress nominee Fernanda Torres had already been honored as one of the Carnival’s muses, making this event even more intertwined with the world of cinema.
