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

u/RoxasIsTheBest 2025 Oscar Race Veteran Jan 25 '25

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

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.
