The Screen Actors Guild could have finally given us clear frontrunners in a wild Oscar season. Instead the thespians choose chaos.
Papal thriller “Conclave” won best ensemble Sunday at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards, beating “Anora” and derailing its best picture momentum after directors’ and producers’ guild wins. Being that the actors are the largest voting body for the Academy Awards, “Conclave” could have a bit of an edge now for the top prize going into next Sunday’s 97th Oscars ceremony.
Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”) and Demi Moore (“The Substance”) also picked up key best actor and actress wins at SAG – Chalamet’s victory over “The Brutalist” star Adrien Brody was something of an upset. The supporting actor categories went as expected, though, with Zoe Saldaña winning for “Emilia Pérez” and Kieran Culkin for “A Real Pain.”
