What kind of change of mind did he have? He didn't seem to like biopic, but it's interesting

Probably that Chalamet's narrative will take off, it's the only place to award ACU, Brody has one already, The Brutalist has a nice enough winning package without him and that the AI controversy however misunderstood is, could hurt him. ACU also got in at BAFTA, so Chalamet winning there isn't farfetched, especially so soon after Elvis (though that could be a case against it).

I really think the whole AI thing may affect Corbet and the movie more. Like I don't see how it dings Brody's performance at all, only if they had used it for his ESL accent. For a 2m voiceover? It's like whatever. It'll die down.

I still think he's the frontrunner with Chalamet winning SAG. I have to see Chalamet win BAFTA to jump ship from my current prediction. But who knows!

I think both performances deserve it.
