Fernanda Torres wins Golden Globe for Best Actress and addresses nepo baby debate
Fernanda Torres won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama for her role in "I’m Still Here," marking a significant achievement for Brazilian cinema. The win was celebrated widely in Brazil, with President Lula and the mayor of Rio de Janeiro offering congratulations. Torres, the daughter of renowned actress Fernanda Montenegro, discussed the ongoing debate about "nepo babies," stating that it distracts from more pressing issues like inequality. She emphasized that having a famous parent does not guarantee success and that the focus should be on improving education and health for all. The film "I’m Still Here" tells the story of Eunice Paiva, a mother and activist during Brazil's military dictatorship. Torres' performance has garnered attention, and she may be a contender for an Oscar nomination, following her Golden Globe win.
