Another nomination for Brazil in a row? Could Wagner Moura emerge as a strong contender for Best Actor? Unlikely, but hey, one can dream.

I know that after last Oscar season, Brazil's reputation took a hit in this subreddit, but if this happens, it would be wild. Personally, we're witnessing the resurgence of Brazilian cinema right before our eyes, and for us Brazilians who love art, it's incredibly exciting to experience this after years of government neglect towards our cinema and culture, not to mention the constant dismissal of our films as trash by people from our own country. Kleber Mendonça Filho is one of the great directors of Brazilian cinema, and all his previous works were highly acclaimed when they premiered at Cannes. I absolutely loved Aquarius and Bacurau, so my expectations are through the roof.
