Remember that the verb "to be" is a linking verb, so in this case, the subject and the predicate nominative are linked by the verb "is" and are one and the same. Try reading all the sentences out loud with the pronoun in the subject spot and the current subject in the predicate spot. You will see that both have to be the subjective form and not the objective form. If you would like to learn more about this, PM me, and I will explain.  Good Luck! :)
