How Isabella Rossellini Could Land in the Oscar History Books for ‘Conclave’


'Conclave' star Isabella Rossellini and her mother Ingrid Bergman.

Though Rossellini’s career is filled with memorable roles — her iconic portrayal of Dorothy Vallens in David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” (1986) and her ageless Lisle Von Rhuman in Robert Zemeckis’ “Death Becomes Her” (1992) among them — she’s never heard her name called on a fateful Oscar nomination morning at 5:30 a.m. Sam Elliott’s eight-minute appearance in Bradley Cooper’s remake of “A Star Is Born” (2018) earned him a trip to the ceremony, while Mark Wahlberg’s nine-minute portrayal of a foul-mouthed Boston cop in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed” (2006) became the sole acting nomination from the movie. A victory for Rossellini would also make her part of a historic Oscar-winning duo, as her mother, Ingrid Bergman, won an Oscar for supporting actress with 16 minutes and 57 seconds of screen time in 1974’s “Murder on the Orient Express.” (Her work currently sits as the 18th-shortest performance to be awarded.)
