In Brazil, expectations for the Oscars are high after Brazil won the Best International Feature Film award in 2025 for Walter Salles’ I’m Still Here.
The Secret Agent has also collected awards this season – including the Palme d’Or for Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Globe for Best Non-English Language Film. At both awards ceremonies, Wagner Moura was also honored as best actor.
