"It's I" is an invention of grammarians, and sounds pedantic to most
speakers.  I'll say "This is he", however, on the phone if someone asks
for me by name, but that's the only environment in which I'll use the
"nominative" in a predicate.  (I'm not even sure nominative/subjective
and accusative/objective are valid  terms in describing spoken
colloquial English, given how they're actually used)
