Austin Butler's Transformation in 'Elvis' Will Offer a Little More Oscar Buzz
'Elvis' Nabs 120 Award Nominations, Including for Best Picture
The upcoming Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic 'Elvis' is generating Oscar buzz, with Austin Butler's transformative performance as the King of Rock and Roll being widely lauded. As of now, the film has received over 120 award nominations, including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Butler.
Warner Bros. Executives Take a Risk on 'Elvis'
Initially considered a risky investment by Warner Bros. executives, 'Elvis' has exceeded expectations, becoming a critical and commercial success. The film's success is attributed not only to Butler's outstanding performance but also to Luhrmann's signature visual style and the film's exploration of the complex relationship between Elvis Presley and his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (played by Tom Hanks).
