Overview
- Directors Guild of America nominations named Paul Thomas Anderson, Ryan Coogler, Guillermo del Toro, Josh Safdie and Chloé Zhao, excluding O Agente Secreto, Valor Sentimental and Foi Apenas um Acidente.
- The Actor Awards (formerly SAG) unveiled nominees a day earlier, with Uma Batalha Após a Outra leading seven nods and Best Actor slots going to Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan and Jesse Plemons.
- Wagner Moura was left out of the Actor Awards’ Best Actor category, prompting criticism from Brazilian social media users and renewing scrutiny of the guild’s limited recognition of non‑English performances.
- O Agente Secreto earned three Golden Globe nominations, including Best Film – Drama and Best Actor (Drama) for Moura, with the ceremony set for January 11 at the Beverly Hilton.
- Variety’s final forecasts place Moura slightly ahead of Michael B. Jordan for the Globe’s Best Actor (Drama), even as guild nominations—seen as Oscar indicators—send mixed signals for non‑English contenders.
