Brazil Picks Gugu's World for 2027 Oscars and Golden Globes

Brazil has chosen Gugu's World as its official submission for the 2027 awards season, putting the film in contention for both the Oscars and the Golden Globes. The selection was reported by collider.com.

The film features Lázaro Ramos in a lead role, adding another high-profile credit to a career that has made him one of Brazil's most recognizable screen actors.

Brazil's awards submissions have often highlighted films that blend social commentary with broad appeal. In 2007, Basic Sanitation, The Movie was released, starring Fernanda Torres and Wagner Moura as a couple.

Both Torres and Moura later won Golden Globe awards for their roles in I'm Still Here and The Secret Agent, respectively. Those recent Brazilian films also received Oscar nominations and Golden Globe wins, raising the international profile of the country's cinema.

With Gugu's World now in the running, Brazil is hoping to build on that momentum as the 2027 awards season approaches.
