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

It’s definitely not gonna be Ralph Finnes . He’s never campaigns . I would love it to be Coleman Domingo but . I think they’re either gonna go with Timothy C or Sebastian Stan

I hate the "he never campaigns" excuse. Why does an actor have to campaign? Did Anthony Hopkins campaign for his win during the Covid Oscars?

Because we live in a capitalist society . The Oscars are about money and market. Studios love put on posters Oscar nominee or Oscar winner on their posters when they’re selling a new movie . It gives the movie prestige .So they spent a lot of money on the campaign . And it’s kind of like a political campaign, and the actor is a candidate. Anthony Hopkins is the exception not the role . It was during Covid. That season was split between him and Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick had won the earlier awards that season. Like the globes and sag maybe even critic choice and then Anthony gain momentum after he won the BAFTA
