Hey all! Ben here! Just wanted to say thank you for all your love and support! Trust me it’s going noticed (especially you guys over there in the county of Brazil)!

My goal for 2025 is to double my subscribers and hit 3, 000! So please, if you feel inclined to do so, please consider subscribing! To those who feel inclined I recently set up Super Thanks for this channel.

Brazil I promise my review of I’m Still Here is coming soon! I still haven’t been told by the studios when I can see it but it’s allegedly getting a US release on the 17th.

Thanks!!!

you need to watch I'm still here, and I promise you that you will root for Fernanda

[mariamendola]

Have you seen Demi Moore talking to Fernanda Torres to tell her that “I hope you don’t mind I asked your number” and they were being so kind thrilling one another how amazing they are.

[flaviocostareal]

Well, it gets even better when you find out that Fernanda Torres' mother (Fernanda Motenegro) was nominated for an Oscar in 1999 as best actress with a foreign film (Central Station). That year, she lost to Gwyneth Paltrow for Shakespeare in Love. Many people (including Glenn Close herself) said that Fernanda was blatantly robbed. I hope her daughter gets nominated and avenges her mother. They are both very beloved here in Brazil and very talented.

The fact is: Brazil, when compared to other countries in the race for the Oscar, is far behind other countries, especially the USA. We saw this in Emilia Perez, where the casting director was recorded saying that THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY TALENTED MEXICAN ACTRESSES to make the film, and that's why Americans made the film. From that, we can already see that in the coming years, we will see several films made by Americans and starring Americans gaining space in "foreign" films. All they have to do is put a director from another country in the mix and that's it.

I think this is unfair.

Fernanda Torres KILLS it in I'm Still Here. People who didn't watch it are missing out. That being said, a portuguese speaking perfomance gettng even nominated for an Oscar is a miracle on itself.

[filipebhmg]

Fernanda's performance is spectacular ❤

[joao-paulo-santos]

Hope Fernanda gets the oscar nomination!

[emiliaefr]

Torres deserved her award. Hope she gets nominated to the Oscar as her mother was 25 years ago 🎉

[nadirmachadogoncalves]

Many years ago Fernanda Torres won best actress in Cannes Festival. Her mother Fernanda Montenegro is the most respected actress in Brazil. She was a candidate for best actress in Oscar for Central Station 25 years ago.

[gcrocha]

I am also rooting for Fernanda Torres as a fellow Brazilian. But i got to be honest, Fernanda winning or not, will never matter to the meaning and importance of the movie. This movie was not made for foreigns. This was made for US. This was a gift for us and a piece of our past to make us think about future. This is not made for people from US, Europe, Asia or even other latin countries. This was made for Brazilians, and if we win the oscars, that will be great, seeing the academy recognizing our story, but if we dont, whatever

[vitor]

I'm Still Here is a powerful story about Eunice Paiva after his husband was kidnaped and killed by the brazilian dictatorship, in the early 1970s. Yes, is not usually a big contestant for an Oscar win, considering it is a non-english language movie a very specific period of the brazilian history. Nevertheless, I showed all her range as an female actor, considering how she can navigate from comedy to intense drama and suffering through all her career. I watched some of the main candidates this year and, in my humble opinion, she gave the best performance. If the movie was in english, there would be any doubt about her being nominated and a front runner to win, but that's not the case and we know the Academy has a few priorities, but I still hope she gets nominated for this wonderful role.

[leumasgame]

I'm still here, it's an Oscar-worthy film, Fernanda Torres's impeccable performance, and this award had to be hers🏆

[mariamendola]

Fernanda Torres won (at 19 yo) the best actress in Cannes.
After that she made amazing performances. If she won’t win the Oscar, they will rob her to give to any English speakers native who won’t deserve it.

[arindamchatterjee]

The Acting wins were great this year Stan, Brody, Moore, Torres, Zoe... Also Flow for animation 🎉❤

[liviavasconcelos]

Fernanda is spetacular in im still here. And 25 years agora her mother were indicated too for Central Station with Walter Salles.

[rivaeld.]

Im still here is a-Must watch !!!!
Fernanda Torres has given the performance of the year ❤❤❤❤

[jeffbassin]

Demi Moore's performance in "The Substance" is VERY Oscar worthy. I think that she will win the Oscar!

[van_]

I'm supporting Fernanda A LOT but I think Demi has more chances. The substance shows the problem that many of hollywood actresses have. Even at 40s they have problems to get good projects, they loose "value". It also represents Demi's resilience through these years... but we can see the message that the academy will send to industry and public

[loferx]

Fernanda's performance is subtle yet devastating.

[marcusmelancon]

A lot of people are saying Ariana and Cynthia shouldn’t win anything because there will be a part 2 and they should just wait and I think that is so stupid
