Humberto Carrão, while present at the Marquês de Sapucaí, celebrated the victory of the Brazilian film 'Ainda Estou Aqui', in which he has a cameo role. He praised the growing recognition of Brazilian cinema, especially how it has become a focal point during the Carnival celebrations. Carrão expressed joy at the continuation of this trend for two consecutive years, highlighting how films are now becoming integral to the traditions and themes of Carnival, with various festivities incorporating elements from the film industry.

Although Carrão will not be parading with his samba school, Mangueira, this year, he remains devoted to supporting his peers in the performance that takes place strong on Carnival night. He emphasized the importance of the Oscars not only for the film industry but also for Brazilian culture, and the participation of local productions in global competitions. The VIP area at Sapucaí, known as Folia Tropical, showcased masks featuring the faces of fellow acclaimed Brazilian actors Wagner Moura and Tânia Maria, in honor of 'O Agente Secreto', which is up for multiple awards this year.

This year's Carnival is marked not just by traditional samba performances, but also by an overlap of cinematic art, reflecting a cultural renaissance within Brazil where film, music, and celebration are intertwined. Events like this highlight how national pride is being celebrated through various forms of artistic expression, with hopes that the Brazilian films will continue to earn recognition and influence outside the country.
