In her victory at the Golden Globes as Best Actress in a Drama, Fernanda Torres of “I’m Still Here” paid tribute to her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, who was nominated in 1999 for “Central Station”.
25 years ago, Montenegro became the initial Brazilian actress to receive a nomination, and now her daughter has followed in her footsteps by earning the second such nomination, Torres shared with Entertainment Tonight before the ceremony.
Or more concisely:
Montenegro was the first to be nominated 25 years ago, and now her daughter is the second; Torres spoke about this to Entertainment Tonight before the event.
Torres expressed that she hadn’t prepared anything beforehand because she was thrilled as it was, and this year has been extraordinary for female performances, with numerous actresses she deeply respects here. She wanted to dedicate her performance to her mother who was present 25 years ago. It serves as a testament that art can persist through life’s challenges, even in trying times such as this story portrays. … Currently, the world is experiencing a lot of fear, and this film offers a perspective on how to endure in tough times like these.
In “I’m Still Here,” Torres portrays Eunice Paiva, a woman married to the former Brazilian congressman Rubens Paiva and mother of six. When Rubens vanishes at the hands of the Brazilian government during their military dictatorship period (1964-1985), Eunice transforms herself into a human rights attorney and activist, advocating for justice not only for herself but also for families similar to hers.
Viola Davis, who was this year’s recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille award, presented the award.
Torres was put forward for consideration, standing alongside Pamela Anderson (from The Last Showgirl), Angelina Jolie (in the role of Maria), Nicole Kidman (known as Babygirl), Tilda Swinton (featured in The Room Next Door), and Kate Winslet (portraying Lee).
The Golden Globes production company, Dick Clark Productions, is co-owned by a partnership named Penske Media Eldridge. This partnership is a collaboration between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge, and they also own The Hollywood Reporter among their other ventures.
