After Annapurna’s mid-seven figure payout for Karyn Kusama’s “Destroyer” (after an all-night bidding war), you may want to consider putting Sebastian Stan somewhere on one of these lists.
Timothée Chalamet is the only likely winner here and not listed. It’s baffiing. How is he listed under lead actor?
Chalamet is listed in the Best Actor predictions. I suspect he’ll end up in supporting,but a lot of that might depend on the reception of the film (if Tim gets best reviews and Carrell feels like a non-factor, maybe Amazon will push him as lead).
