‘I’m Still Here’ Makes Oscar History as First Brazilian Film to Win International Feature Category
"I'm Still Here" has won the Oscar for best international feature, the first Brazilian movie to win the category.
The film, which tells the real-life story of Eunice Paiva’s decades-long search for justice after her husband’s disappearance during Brazil’s military dictatorship, has been gaining momentum in recent weeks. Its surprise nomination for best picture — alongside expected nods for international feature and best actress for star Fernanda Torres — solidified its status as a major contender. Only 10 previous films have achieved that feat: “Z” (1969), “The Emigrants” (1971/72), “Life Is Beautiful” (1998), “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (2000), “Amour” (2012), “Roma” (2018), “Parasite” (2019), “Drive My Car” (2021), “All Quiet on the Western Front” (2022) and “The Zone of Interest” (2023).
