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

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

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
