I’m Still Here star Fernanda Torres dedicated her Golden Globes best actress in a drama win to her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, who was nominated in 1999 for Central Station. Montenegro was the first Brazilian actress to be nominated 25 years ago, and now her daughter is the second, Torres told Entertainment Tonight ahead of the show.

In Walter Salles' Oscar-shortlisted film I'm Still Here, set in 1970 at the height of Brazil's military dictatorship, Fernanda Torres plays an extraordinary mother: Eunice Paiva, who was left to raise five children alone after the disappearance of her activist husband Rubens (played by Selton Mello).

Fernanda Torres won best drama movie actress at the 2025 Golden Globes over Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Tilda Swinton and Kate Winslet
