“Conclave” won the best film title to the British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday – adding the last torsion to a chaotic price season during which no film dominated the big ceremonies.
The film, which features Ralph Fiennes and was directed by Edward Berger, is a thriller on the selection of a new Pope. He won four prizes on Sunday at the British Oscar equivalent, commonly known as Bafta. The other three prices were the best editing, the best suitable script and the exceptional British film.
By guaranteeing the prize for the best film, “Conclave” beat “anora” by Sean Baker, a dramatic in which an exotic dancer marries the son of a Russian oligarch, and the “the brutalist” by Brady Corbet, about A Jewish architect (Adrien Brody) makes her life in the United States after the Holocaust.
He also triumphed over the biopic Bob Dylan “has a complete unknown” and “Emilia Pérez”.
“Conclave” had not previously presented the main winners of this season of awards. He only secured a Golden Globe, for the best scenario, during a ceremony during which “Emilia Pérez” and “The Brutalist” were the big winners. More recently, the momentum for the best film Oscar had passed to “Anora”, after this film won major honors during the ceremony for choosing this year and the awards of Directors Guild of America and Producers Guild of America.
However, the prominence of “conclave” to the Baftas will give the momentum of the film in the Academy prices of this year, scheduled for March 2. There is a significant overlap between the voting organizations for both prices, and the Bafta and the Oscars regularly have the same winners.
The casting and the “conclave” team seemed amazed when the best price in the film was announced. Isabella Rossellini, who plays a nun in the film, was on stage smiling happily throughout the Berger’s acceptance speech, in which he said he was “deeply humiliated” to see his film receive honor.
