An expanded international electorate at the Globes elevates the film’s prospects.

Overview

  • The film is nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Non‑English Language Film, and Best Actor – Drama for Wagner Moura.
  • Moura is widely tipped for the Drama actor award, facing Michael B. Jordan and Oscar Isaac, with Timothée Chalamet competing in a separate Comedy/Musical field.
