The coolest encounters at the Screen Actors Guild Awards weren't glimpsed by the cameras. They were seen by us.

The cast of “Conclave” has accepted congratulations from generations of big stars backstage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The papal thriller claimed the top prize at Hollywood's Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Timothee Chalamet's portrayal of Bob Dylan made him the surprise best actor winner, at the last major honors ahead of next weekend's Oscars.

Hosted by Kristen Bell, tonight’s ceremony, held at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles, will award prizes across 15 categories. Since the actors are the largest voting body for the Academy Awards, the 31st annual SAG Awards could give major insights into what to expect from next Sunday’s 97th Oscars ceremony.

A halo of side-swept bangs, the white shade of her Dior gown and an absence of makeup gave the actress, a star of “The Last Showgirl,” an air of purity on the carpet. A single caped sleeve, which evoked an angel’s wing, was another heavenly detail.

The 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night should offer the final clue in an unusually unpredictable Oscar race. The other major awards — including the BAFTAs, the Producers Guild Awards, the Directors Guild Awards and the Golden Globes — have all had their say.
