Telluride Oscar Contenders Wrap Up: ‘Conclave’ Soars, ‘Nickel Boys’ Divides, ‘A Real Pain’ Charms and More


Here's a look at the Oscar contenders out of Telluride including "Conclave," "Nickel Boys" and "A Real Pain."

If movies such as Ava DuVernay’s “Origin” (2022) and Chinonye Chukwu’s “Till” (2022) faced challenges in gaining traction with Academy members, Ross’s highly respected film could encounter a similar fate. Following the success of “All Quiet on the Western Front,” which won four Oscars, director Edward Berger returns with the religious and political thriller “Conclave.” The film boasts an impressive cast, a taut script by Peter Straughan, and stunning cinematography and editing by Stéphane Fontaine and Nick Emerson. It’s almost Hollywood malpractice that the English actor hasn’t made it to the Dolby stage despite standout performances in films like “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” Co-star Stanley Tucci, who earned a single nomination for “The Lovely Bones” (2009), could also return to the Oscar race with his role as a slick-talking cardinal.
