“It will be the first and only time I speak of Oscar. There is a lot of misinformation in the Brazilian press. Chances of gaining better foreign film are strong. All the awards Emilia Pérez won, such as Bafta and Golden Globe, were ‘voted’ before the controversies the movie generated, ”he began on the social network.
“Is the dispute fierce? Every year is like this. The actually pocketed. But there is a detail. ‘I’m still here’ debuts today in the United Kingdom. Few people saw the movie there. So much so that it was not even indicated. My bet: she or the wonderful Mickey Madison wins the Oscar, ”he continued.
Soon after, Paiva explained that, among 10,000 voters, more than 1,000 are English and French, so the scenario is uncertain as the best film. “For me, it is between Conclave and Anora. Brady Cobert and Adrien Brody of Brutalist are right names, ”he added.
