British film star Ralph Fiennes has said he is “thrilled” to receive a best actor Oscar nomination for his role in pope drama Conclave. This year’s announcement saw Spanish-lanuage musical Emilia Perez lead the way with 13 nominations while director Edward Berger’s film, about cardinals voting to elect the next pope, secured eight nods.
“I’m thrilled to be nominated and to be celebrating the other nominations for Conclave,” Fiennes said. “Edward Berger brought an extraordinary cast and crew together – he is an inspirational director with rare insight and a unique vision which lies at the heart of this film.”.
Also nominated is his co-star, Italian actress Isabella Rossellini, who reflected on how filmmaker David Lynch, who died earlier in the month, made an impact on her understanding of acting. “When I was young, I was always identified as the daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini.
“As I’ve gotten older, this doesn’t happen as frequently; and, I miss it especially today. “I wish my parents were alive to celebrate with me this great honor. “And, also, today, with this joy, my mind can’t help lingering in the beyond to David Lynch.
“Our collaboration was key to my understanding of the art of acting. It is my past, all that I have in me, that I brought to my interpretation of Sister Agnes in the film Conclave, working under the clear, sharp direction of Edward Berger his incredible cast and crew, especially the incomparable Ralph Fiennes.
