Overview

  • The film was nominated for Best International Film at the César Awards, with the ceremony set for February 26 in Paris.
  • It also secured two BAFTA nominations this week, including non-English language film and original screenplay.
  • Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said the company helped finance the title and will license it for Brazil after its theatrical run, with no premiere date announced; the film has drawn about 1.7 million cinema admissions.
  • The Writers Guild of America deemed the screenplay ineligible for its awards because the writer is not affiliated with the WGA or a recognized partner guild.
  • The movie holds four Oscar nominations—Best Picture, International Feature, Casting, and Best Actor for Wagner Moura—after winning two Golden Globes earlier in January.
