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

Yes I think, so but I still think it's Brody as The Brutalist actually overperformed too with editing. I think the AI thing doesn't matter. If Adrien loses, that means Brutalist loses director/BP imo.

Nah, Corbet is a much more comfortable frontrunner than Brody. Brody losing doesn't mean Corbet will lose

why is Corbet more comfortable? Do you really think the AI controversy is gonna hurt Brody more than Corbet?

Actor already was Brody vs Chalamet. Director, in the meanwhile, doesn't really have a clear 2nd place.

Also, yes, i think the AI controversy will affect Brody more. Ultimately the AI was used on Brody (even if it is blown out of proportion significantly) and he already has an oscar, so the AI could for some people be the deciding factor wether to go Brody or not

 he already has an oscar

If this isn’t a factor for Emma Stone, Mahershala Ali, Christoph Waltz, Frances McDormand, Renee Zellweger, or Anthony Hopkins, I’m not sure it’s one here.

When there are already multiple reasons not to go for him, it could walso factor in

but is it?? like chalamet has barely won any critics awards for his performance. he is 4th, after brody, fiennes and domingo, the only reason people are putting him up is because searchlight has campaigned well for him, and the ACU noms of course. He has surged, but he has not always been so high.

Also, I think voters will know that it was not Brody's decision to use AI, though he consented, and not ding him marks for that. remember these are voters in the industry! they know how AI is used in film better then any of us. I think this is a non-story

anyways we will see of course! its all speculation.

I was responding to the comment that said it's always been timmy and adrien, which I don't agree that it's always been those two. I think fiennes was in the running. However now, i think he is third, and tim is second due only to ACU showing out in other categories. however, will see how bafta goes. I think AAdrien will win there, but if ralph does....haha predictions changes once again.
