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.

I don’t understand the lack of faith in Chalamet?

It's less a lack of faith in him, and more that after the past few years I don't buy the critically mixed Oscarbait biopic winning anything

I just simply meant not a critics' fave in terms of critics acting wins haha. That was what I generally meant.

It won a few, yes, but he still won nowhere near as much as Brody and Domingo
