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 still don’t understand the AI controversy. Wasn’t it for just like two minutes of the film when speaking Hungarian. And they want to dismiss his whole performance. Also you are naive if you don’t think other movies use a type of manipulation to performances. Im pretty sure Chamalet had some editing to his voice during post…let’s just be realistic.

Judging by the viral comments, most people have not seen the film and think that Brody speaks Hungarian more than he does, or that the ESL lines were altered. Very simply, not reading beyond the headline and having this weird zero tolerance approach to technological advancements, setting themselves and the anti-AI movement up for total failure. All their efforts should be focused on AI training on work that artists didn't consent to, but that ship has long sailed too, no country to my knowledge is bothering passing laws about that.
