Prêmio ACIE de Cinema for Best Picture

Prêmio ACIE de Cinema (English: ACIE Film Award) was an annual Brazilian film awards program established in 2004 by the Associação dos Correspondentes de Imprensa Estrangeira (ACIE), a group of foreign press correspondents in Brazil. Inspired by the Golden Globe Awards and initiated by Michael Astor, then-president of the ACIE and Associated Press correspondent, the awards recognized excellence in Brazilian cinema. Eligible feature films released commercially in Brazil during the preceding year were evaluated by a committee of ACIE members, who selected finalists and winners across categories such as Best Film, Director, Actor, Actress, Documentary, Cinematography, Screenplay, Soundtrack, and from 2012, a “Blockbuster Brazil” category for films with over one million cinema admissions. The awards also included a special lifetime achievement tribute from 2007 to 2013, with honorees such as Eduardo Coutinho and Fernanda Montenegro. The program ceased after 2013.
