Which word is the predicate nominative in the following sentence? (explain why please )?

I don't see a predicate nominative. Talented is a predicate adjective. Was is a linking verb, naming the subject as something other than what it was originally. Jenny was pretty. John was nice. Predicate nominatives deal with nouns. Jenny was a girl. John was a politician.
