The cast ofConclavetook home the biggest award of the night at the 2025SAG Awards.

Ralph Fiennes,John Lithgow, Sergio Castellitto andIsabella Rosselliniwere the cast members who took the stage at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles to accept the win. Fiennes, 62, accepted the award, joking that he was not “elected” to speak but was “designated to” on behalf of “our conclave, our ensemble.”

“We had a blessed time with Edward, whose intelligence and perception and insight and care of us has I think brought us the gift of our community of ensemble,” Fiennes said.

He concluded, “We’ve talked a lot and people have spoken so eloquently and movingly about community, I don’t want to add more, but I think we do recognize the supreme importance of it in our work and in the world. We [have] huge admiration to the other ensembles we’ve seen tonight — I think that’s what we’re celebrating is our community.”
