We love to see Latinas make history 🌟 Actress Fernanda Torres is the second Brazilian ever to be nominated for an Oscar, following in the footsteps of her mother, legendary Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro, who was the trailblazing first ever nominee in 1999 for her role in “Central Station”. Her powerful performance as Eunice Paiva in “I’m Still Here” earned her a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama—making her the first Brazilian to win in this category.⁠ ⁠ “Of course I want to dedicate this to my mother. You have no idea. She was here 25 years ago and this is like proof that art can endure through life,” she said in her Golden Globes acceptance speech.⁠ ⁠ #OscarNominee #GoldenGlobeWinner #Poderosa #PoderosaOfTheWeek #FernandaTorres #Brazil #Brazilian #Latina #LatinaActress #Oscars #GoldenGlobes #ImStillHere #Brasilera #LatinaPower
