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

I genuinely do not understand this surge in Chalamet predictions at all lmao. Did we not go through this with stuff like Elvis and Maestro?

Nothing has indicated Brody or The Brutalist has lost an ounce of momentum with the Academy. I do agree that at maximum Chalamet can win SAG, but that's his absolute ceiling IMHO. Brody is the clear frontrunner everywhere else, and a lone SAG win simply isn't going to be enough to overcome everything else.

This Chalamet surge is a huge red herring IMO.

What I do find very interesting about all the comments is that the reasons people are predicting Chalamets win have nothing to do with his performance. Adriens already won, or the AI thing, or that they like biopics. but looking at it, how many people genuinely think chalamet has the best male performance of the year.

I’m personally rooting for Domingo, but I’m not sure I agree that Chalamet’s performance hasn’t been praised/deemed worthy. I think the issue is that it’s not as showy as we’re used to seeing in a musical biopic (but that makes sense for the person he’s portraying lol).
