- The film secured nominations for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Non‑English Language Film, and Best Actor – Drama, marking the first time a Brazilian feature competes in the Globes’ main drama category.
- Wagner Moura is widely tipped by outlets like Variety and Vanity Fair to win Best Actor – Drama, with Michael B. Jordan flagged as a key rival, and he does not face Timothée Chalamet, who competes in comedy/musical.
- Variety dropped Moura from its updated Oscar Best Actor longlist even as it still pegs him a Globe favorite, highlighting split industry forecasts heading into Academy voting.
- Awards‑season momentum includes a Critics Choice win for Best International Film—the first for Brazil—plus major U.S. critics’ honors, with 48 international prizes reported to date.
- Golden Globes voters now number 334 journalists from 85 countries, including 38 from Brazil, and the ceremony airs in Brazil on TV Globo, TNT and HBO Max at 22:00 BRT.
