Brazilians jubilant at 'I'm Still Here' historic Oscar nomination for best picture

The fact that our movie was nominated not only for foreign language film, but also for best film of the year is something unimaginable,

Torres said

But it was spoken in English,

said Andre Sturm, a filmmaker and director at the Museum of Image and Sound

It's a great sign. 'I'm Still Here' is competing with films from all over the world, as well as from non-English-speaking countries,

said Carlos Augusto Calil, a filmmaker and the president of the council at Cinemateca Brasileira, the institution responsible for preserving and promoting Brazil's audiovisual production
