The Grande Prêmio do Cinema Brasileiro (English: Grand Prize of Brazilian Cinema), more popularly known as the Grande Otelo,[1] is a Brazilian
film award[2] given annually by the Brazilian Academy of Cinema.[3] It was established in 2000 as the Grande Prêmio Cinema Brasil by the
Ministry of Culture of Brazil that presented it in 2000 and 2001.[4][5] In 2002, the newly established Academia Brasileira de Cinema took on the role of delivering the award which was then renamed to Grande Prêmio do Cinema Brasileiro.[6]
The award was sponsored by
BR Distribuidora, with the 2002 edition having a "BR" in its name;[5] in 2003, however, there was no sponsor.[7] In 2004, it gained "TAM" in its name since
TAM Airlines (now
LATAM Airlines Brasil) became the award sponsor.[8] From 2008 to 2009 its sponsorship was provided by
Vivo.[9][10] From 2010 onward it has no company sponsoring it. In December 2023, the award was officially renamed to the Prêmio Grande Otelo from its 23rd edition and beyond, in a tribute to
