The Belfast group headed into the ceremony with a total of 17 nominations, following on their shortlisting for best international feature at the Oscars. But it was Cillian Murphy who took home the gong for Best Actor in a Lead Role, for Small Things Like These. The film won the overall Best Film award also. The actor accepted the award, apologising to Kneecap, which saw all three of the group’s members nominated in the category. "Sorry Kneecap. You had me outnumbered,” he joked.

The Pope is dead, long live the Pope. This film highlights the magic of moviemaking by taking an event that would seem to be fairly straightforward (electing a new Pope) and fills the proceedings with intrigue, behind-the-scenes machinations, some real jolts to the system and an ending you absolutely will not see coming. German director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front) masterfully weaves intertwining storylines to create an ever-shifting narrative.

Conclave has the soul of a paperback thriller in the trappings of a prestige drama. Now there’s a fun mix. It reminded me of the days in which you could see a John Grisham book turned into a Francis Ford Coppola movie, or a Tom Clancy turned into a John McTiernan, and so on. It’s a welcome throwback to when pulpy mass market bestsellers were regularly given glossy production design and an excellent ensemble cast when sent to the big screen.

Conclave: Ralph Fiennes – Photo: Focus FeaturesREAD THIS REVIEW IN THE MAGAZINEThe cassocked elite of the Catholic Church are stirring up hot tea, with little sympathy, in Conclave, a simmering political thriller about succession, set at the feet of a dead Pope. “The throne of the Holy See is vacant,” so the College of Cardinals have convened at the Vatican for a Papal conclave, to elect a new pope.
