Fernanda Torres has publicly shared her participation in the voting process for the 2026 Oscars, which began recently. She took to social media to confirm her registration to vote, humorously adding, 'My vote is SECRET!' which cleverly references the Brazilian film 'The Secret Agent' directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho. The film is in contention for several prestigious awards, including Best Picture and Best International Feature, and its lead actor Wagner Moura has also received a nomination for Best Actor.

The involvement of Brazilian voters in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences showcases the growing influence of Brazilian cinema internationally. With 63 voters from Brazil, including prominent figures like Fernanda Montenegro and Selton Mello, they constitute about 0.6% of the Academy's total voting body of approximately 10,000 members. This participation underlines the importance of diversity in the film industry and the recognition of talent from different countries competing at the highest levels.

The Oscars ceremony is set for March 15, and this year the spotlight on nominees like 'The Secret Agent' highlights the evolving landscape of global cinema, reflecting both cultural richness and the pursuit of recognition in Hollywood. Torres’s playful pun not only engages her audience but also emphasizes the excitement surrounding the Oscars and the representation of Brazilian culture on such a prestigious platform.
