*Twice* Portuguese was spoken on the Golden Globes. Thrice if you count my one and only Minnie Driver saying “parabéns,” which I’m currently figuring out how to turn into my ringtone. Crying laughing screaming what a time to be alive! 🇧🇷🇧🇷

This makes the Golden Globes look credible. Hand out the International Film award with all the others or don’t give it at all; don’t shove a trinket at an unsuspecting director on the red carpet with a condescending chirp and then cut away before they can say a word.
Thrilled that THE SECRET AGENT won the Critics Choice award for Best International Film but so disheartened and angry at how it happened. Mendonça Filho and producer Emilie Lesclaux were ambushed on the red carpet, no briefing, no chance of giving a speech, the whole thing an insulting disaster.
Gente? 😵💫 O Critics Choice Award de Melhor Filme Internacional de ‘O Agente Secreto’ foi entregue no carpet, sem qualquer aviso prévio, a Kleber Mendonça Filho e Emilie Lesclaux, produtora do longa.

If you look exclusively at the UK release calendar, 2025 was a pretty great year for films. (I try to tweak my Best of the Year list for every place that asks me for one, pretty chuffed with the one below for the folks at @theskinnymag.bsky.social)

This creates an opening for journalists
Create a news service that guarantees every fact checked by a human and hopefully people will value & pay for it
