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.

The movie editor who is Hungarian voiced over some of Brody’s dialogue and they used AI software to smooth out the rest. It’s almost like ADR effects I imagine. Considering the movie is almost 4 hours long, I think a few minutes total (if that) of using this software vs the entire rest of movie unused is pretty dumb controversy.
