Isabella Rossellini has been
nominated for an Oscar as best supporting actress for her role
as Sister Agnes in Conclave by Edward Berger, the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced in Beverley Hills
Thursday.
It is the first Oscar nomination for the 72-year-old daughter of
Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini.
Conclave, from the Robert Harris bestseller, is a tale of
intrigue, backstabbing a barely credible twist in the election
of a pope in the Sistine Chapel.
Rossellini, who was also nominated for a Golden Globe for her
nun's role, will be up against Monica Barbaro (Joan Baez in A
Complete Unknown), Ariana Grande (Wicked), Felicity Jones (The
Brutalist) and Zoe Saldana (Emilia Perez) in the Oscar on
Sunday, March 23.
