The papal thriller “Conclave” won best ensemble at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, a surprise twist that added one final wrinkle in an unusually unpredictable awards season.

Fonda's acceptance of the Life Achievement Award spotlights her role not only as a legendary actress but also as a powerful voice for social change. Throughout her career, she has used her platform to advocate for climate change awareness, human rights, and, more recently, resistance against political forces she views as harmful.
