Ralph Fiennes' Conclave Wins Best Picture at BAFTAs 2025

At the recent BAFTAs, the film Conclave won the prestigious Best Picture award, alongside three other wins, making it one of the top films of the night. Directed by Edward Berger, the film received strong praise for its screenplay and performances, particularly from Ralph Fiennes, who plays a cardinal involved in a conclave to elect the next pope. Despite its success, Fiennes missed out on the Best Actor award, which went to Adrien Brody for his role in The Brutalist, another film that tied with Conclave for the most wins of the evening. Fans expressed disappointment over Ariana Grande's loss in the Best Supporting Actress category to Zoe Saldana from Emilia Pérez, showcasing the competitive nature of this year's awards season. The ceremony also featured a tribute segment honoring notable figures in film who passed away, with some viewers questioning the omission of actor Bernard Hill from the tribute. Overall, the BAFTAs highlighted a year of intense competition among critically acclaimed films and performances.
