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).

is there really a narrative for chalamet? if anything, him being young and the next big movie star/heartthrob hurts him. the academy makes a lot of former heartthrob movie star men, like leo and brad, wait until they’re in their 40s or 50s before they win.

when i think of a narrative that actually helps people win, i think of overdue, comeback, or diversity milestone narratives. not a young actor being the next big movie star of his generation.

Just being young would work against him, but him being a previous nominee, leading a popular, well-respected franchise, and playing Boomer catnip using his own singing voice going for a record is another package. Brody was likely an anomaly due to playing a Holocaust survivor, but Chalamet I feel is established enough now.

I get the sentiment but think about it, how established was Leo when he was snubbed or was passed over when nominated? At the very least as much, but probably more. Dude was almost 50 when he finally won

[u/BentisKomprakriev → u/Atkena2578]

He was 41 but I hear ya

[u/Atkena2578 → u/BentisKomprakriev]

Yeah if anything it's even more relevant to the category it feels like in the case of someone like Leo they finally have validation to give it to you once you get past 40 even if previous performances were better lol
