NameExplanationRobbed Award
1Impeccable CinematographyEvery frame is masterfully composed. The constant contrast between whites and reds is impactful and absolutely stunning. Almost every single frame could be printed out and framed. 2014 Tumblr would've eaten this up!Best Cinematography
2Ralph Fiennes Is the F*cking ManHis performance is a masterclass in restraint, intensity, and internal conflict. He barely speaks — you just know what's going on through the man's head. He makes his internal conflict so earnest and sincere, it feels like you're glimpsing this character's childhood dilemmas.Best Actor
3Supporting Cast Stealing the ShowEvery secondary character is unforgettable. You hate them, you feel compassion, and ultimately you decide they all suck — in the best way possible. They all surrender to their characters unapologetically, bringing quite the cast of characters to life.Best Supporting Actor
4Sooooo Many LanguagesEnglish, italian, spanish, latin.. all spoken beautifully and in context.
5Stanley TucciMy man is the best, and there's no conversation to be had about it. If versatility were a person, it would be Mr. Stanley Tucci.Best Supporting Actor
6Papal Big Brother Meets Political ThrillerThe drama, the backstabbing, the lying and manipulating, the voting people out, the alliances, the fake humbleness, the mean girls moments, the Hunger Games atmosphere, the mystery of the Pope's death... Boninho could only dream of creating such an entertaining piece of art.Best Adapted Screenplay
7Cardinal Lawrence is Regina GeorgeIs there anything to say about this moment except: PURE CINEMA?Best Pop Culture Crossover (should exist)
8Category is: Papal DripFrom velvet capes to gold-threaded robes, this delivers peak Catholicism Aesthetic — part regal, part cunning, and 100% serving holy extra. No one does a subtle flex like a man in a seven-layered silk cassock plotting world domination.Best Costume Design
9The Ambiguity of the Ambition of the Holy ManIt masterfully explores the blurry line between faith, ego, and ambition. Also, all men are the same — even the ones who deem themselves holier than thou. Humanity is a flaw we all possess, whether you wear a decked-out man dress or not.Best Adapted Screenplay
10Female Roles in the ChurchMy sisters were tired of their bullshit, let me tell you. Isabella Rossellini ate them all up from beginning to end — and good for her.Best Supporting Actress
