Conclave

Based as it is in the Vatican, Conclave is not a film with many women in it, but it came out ahead in the EDA Awards race this week, with nine nominations from the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. This is great news for director Edward Berger and his team following their success in the Critics Choice Award nominations. Close on its heels, with eight nominations, was Emilia Pérez; and with Anora and The Brutalist both on seven, this year's race is really solidifying.

"We are proud that this year's member-determined roster of nominees includes female contenders in non-gender specific categories, including Coralie Fargeat in the Best Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay categories, along with Payal Kapadia, who is nominated for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Film," said the organisation's president, Jennifer Merin.
