The thriller “Conclave,” which explores the selection of a new pope, won top honors at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night. The film’s victory upsets what seemed like a guild sweep by “Anora.” This win is significant in the Oscar race, which remains fluid leading up to the March 2 ceremony.
Individual acting winners included Timothée Chalamet for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown,” while Demi Moore took home the award for her role in “The Substance.” The last three SAG winners for top prize all went on to win Oscars, but it’s unclear if this trend will continue.
Chalamet expressed his ambition to become a great actor, saying he wants to be one of the greatest. On the other hand, Moore delivered an emotional speech dedicated to “that little girl who didn’t believe in herself.” The industry has seen late surges from actresses Fernanda Torres and Mikey Madison, but it remains to be seen how this will affect their Oscar chances.
Supporting actor Kieran Culkin won his category with a sweeping performance. Jane Fonda also received her lifetime achievement award, which she accepted as an opportunity to advocate for those in the room.
