The papal thriller 鈥淐辞苍肠濒补惫别鈥 won best ensemble and Timoth茅e Chalamet took best actor at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, a pair of twists that added a few final wrinkles to an unusually unpredictable awards season.
In winning the guild鈥檚 top award, Edward Berger鈥檚 Vatican-set drama triumphed just as the Catholic Church was praying for the health of Pope Francis, who remained in critical condition Sunday after an asthmatic respiratory crisis. 鈥淐辞苍肠濒补惫别鈥 dramatizes the fictional election of a new pope. Earlier in the evening onstage, Isabella Rossellini shared the cast's best wishes for Pope Francis.
All the momentum going into the SAG Awards was with Sean Baker鈥檚 鈥淎nora,鈥 which had won with the producers, directors and writers guilds. Now, with 鈥淐辞苍肠濒补惫别鈥 winning with the actors and at the BAFTAs, what will nab best picture in a week鈥檚 time at the Academy Awards is, again, anyone鈥檚 guess.
