Conclave Wins SAG Award, Boosts Oscars Prospects

The film 'Conclave' has garnered significant attention leading up to the Academy Awards, having received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Ralph Fiennes. At the recent Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, 'Conclave' won the top honor for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, with Fiennes accepting the award alongside co-stars John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini, and Sergio Castellitto. Fiennes expressed optimism for the Oscars, mentioning the film's recent BAFTA win as a confidence booster, despite the unpredictable nature of Academy voters. He emphasized the importance of community in their work and thanked director Edward Berger for his leadership. The SAG win positions 'Conclave' favorably as it competes against notable films like 'Oppenheimer,' which had a strong showing at last year's Oscars. The excitement continues to build as the Oscars approach, with Fiennes reflecting on the celebratory atmosphere of the ceremony.
