This Sunday night (15) was marked by the 2026 Oscar awards and with Brazil competing in five categories — and not taking any home —, there was no shortage of memes on social media.
The film “The Secret Agent” was nominated for four awards, including Best Film, Best International Film, Best Cast and, in addition to the nomination of Brazilian Adolpho Veloso for “Dreams of a Train”. But unfortunately, we came back empty-handed.
Check out the best reactions to the Oscar results
Initially, Brazilians reminded X (formerly Twitter) what really matters:
Of the Oscar nominees, I only watched Secret Agent, so if Wagner Moura doesn’t win, he’ll be robbed, it was Trump boycotting Latinos
— nena (@nenazete)
As the night came to an end, some reactions showed, including trying to pinpoint culprits:
The Secret Agent lost the Oscar for Best Casting just because it was Gwyneth Paltrow who gave it
always this woman tormenting the lives of the Brazilian people

Other losses and victories were also highlighted by X users:
Imagine winning the Oscar for a horror film, the film’s only nomination, and only having 14 minutes of screen time

In addition to some jokes that only Brazilians will understand:
The Secret Agent will WIN the Oscar for Best Picture! 👏
You can favorite it and charge me later. I’ve never missed an Oscar winner. Forecast is not twisted. Respect my gift!
