Fernanda Torres celebrated a significant milestone by winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Film for her role in Ainda Estou Aqui. The announcement prompted Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to take to social media, expressing his pride in Torres's achievement.
“Emotional! Fernanda Torres is a pride of Brazil,” he wrote. “Best actress in a drama film at the Golden Globe for her outstanding performance in Ainda Estou Aqui. As she says: life is worth it. Congratulations, Fernanda Torres!”
The president also shared a heartfelt video of himself and First Lady Janja embracing Torres during a recent meeting.
Torres's victory was particularly remarkable as she triumphed over Hollywood heavyweights like Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, and Tilda Swinton, all of whom were nominated for their performances in films such as Babygirl and Maria Callas.
This win not only elevates Torres's prospects for an Oscar nomination but also boosts the international recognition of Ainda Estou Aqui, positioning it as a strong contender in upcoming awards.
