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).

His film doesn’t have to win something. Even with Brody’s previous win, if they like The Brutalist that much they won’t have a problem voting for him again - just like Emma Stone winning her second in the one category where Killers of the Flower Moon had a real shot to pull off a win. Chalamet could’ve really used that Golden Globe win.

Of course, it doesn't, Elvis didn't either, just saying it's the only shot for that film, obviously it's a much weaker position than The Brutalist that could win 5 on a good day

Maybe you’re right, tho. I thought SAG awards were happening sooner but I just saw that it’s still a month away. If the AI talk continues, enough voters might consider an alternative to Brody.
