A large delegation of 30 artists is set to represent the film "O Agente Secreto" (The Secret Agent) at the upcoming Academy Awards, which will take place on March 15 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, the film is nominated for several prestigious awards including Best Picture, Best International Film, Best Actor for Wagner Moura's performance, and Best Ensemble Direction by Gabriel Domingues. Notable attendees will include the film's producer Emilie Lesclaux alongside various cast and technical crew members.

Among the actors joining the delegation are Alice Carvalho, who plays Moura's character's wife, and a host of others including Carlos Francisco, Gabriel Leone, Geane Albuquerque, Isabél Zuaa, Isadora Ruppert, Laura Lufési, Maria Fernanda Cândido, Robério Diógenes, and Thomás Aquino. Their participation in the Oscars highlights the film's recognition on a global stage, which is significant for Brazilian cinema and its increasing presence in international awards.

However, one notable absence will be Tânia Maria, a 79-year-old actress who gained viral fame for her role in the film. She has announced that she will not attend the awards ceremony due to medical advice related to her treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Her absence brings attention to health challenges faced by artists, especially those at an advanced age, highlighting the importance of medical considerations even during significant career milestones such as the Oscars.
