Oh, he HAS to get the Oscar! I was watching BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY again the other night. Rami Malek did a phenomenal job, and deserved that Oscar win. Austin was every bit as perfect as Rami. You spend three years in someone’s skin you perfect the portrayal. Austin did.
@@mariella164 in the film he does, this one not so much since it was the start of it. Austin is a great actor who you can tell has improved throughout.
I know Aus has been acting since age 12 and those clips of him are s cute and yes he coukd act. But he was buried under a mountain of teen stuff just like Leo was. Then along cane Romeo and Juliet and Leo broke out. But Aus is older and been around about ten years longer working steadily. Brad Pitt was discovered in Thelma and Louise but h ex had been working before that. Austin knew his day was coming. His agent even told him if he didn't do an audition tape for once upon a time in Hollywood, he'd come over and throw Austin in his own pool. And Austin got that job. Then Broadway where he impressed Denzel. Now elvis. Sky's the limit.
Sometimes sitting there I realized I had forgotten it was Austin. He was just Elvis. At times I find out who else was being considered for a role and I thank God for intervening. Ronald Reagan as Rick in CASABLANCA; he was a top actor in those years. But….on no!! Harry Styles being talked about as Elvis? OH NO!!!
That's what I thought about 1917 and the actor who was the lead the blonde who kept going. But that year they got shut out. I pray the Academy will reward their own Elvis with an Oscar. Elvis was old time Hollywood star.
@@lifeissweet9826 yk i thought that too about 1917 but when i saw it i was a little disappointed bc one of my favorite scenes of the entire movie was shown in the trailer.
That poor kid must have been scared to death!!...he has a lot of guts...and he NAILED Elvis in the movie right down to his mannerisms...it's utterly eerie!! Thank you, Austin!!! ❤️⚡️❤️
He said in another interview he felt nauseous having to do this impromptu show for the rca folks and I can see it in his face. When he smooths back his brown hair. He looks so nervous. Poor baby! But boy did it all pay off!
At 2:20 you can see how profoundly Austin looks at Baz, he looks at him for approval and that´s just so touching. From all the interviews, one can deduce how absolutely dedicated Austin was to this role and how he did his maximum to portray Elvis as best as he can. And oh boy he did that well, his portrayal of Elvis is beyond words, it´s remarkable, breathtaking, sensational. Of course the movie as a whole is a masterpiece and Austin brought Elvis alive. I always compare the experience from the movie with the girl seeing Elvis for the first time: excitement, arousal, joy and shock.
I'm 100% sure many people weren't fans of Elvis, but after this movie, they all fell in love with the real Elvis and he has earned even more respect from all of us!
That was my case, of course I knew elvis because he is a world icon and the greatest artist of all time. But after the movie, I became a fan of the real elvis. It's really amazing how he captivates you instantly with his voice, movements and That wonderful personality that captivates anyone. Elvis will always be an admirable person and no one will be like him. Sometimes I think "I should have been born at that time", but I was born in 2006 and I can only continue to remember and admire elvis, the best.
Austin definitely deserves an Oscar, his performance was spectacular and definitely nobody would have done as well as him, he prepared a lot and the result was sensational. Fan of him
Austin reminds me that the taller he gets, the lower he bends! He is Humility personified. Thus, "he who is last is FIRST." Go get your Oscar, Austin Butler! 🙏🏻
Austin Butler is very talented.He's actor,singer,dancer and we see all that in phenomenal way in Elvis.I must say that I never before adore one actor so much because of only one role.That's what he did to me and I ain't complaining!
It's kinda hard to believe Austin had to sing those early songs, and do all the crazy moves elvis did too. For elvis those moves were natural but for Austin it had to be "performed" and perfectly. I'm 72 and never saw Elvis is person before the Las Vegas years. (I did see him in 1971 at the International on my honeymoon). I was ten when he went into the service and really had no clue what all the hoopla was about. But when he got out, it was FULL COURT PRESS on anything Elvis. He was on every magazine cover, in movies and toured. We saw the Comeback Special so it had the old Elvis and the new Elvis. we girls saw all his movies and loved them and bought his records. So the elvis I knew was really the comeback Elvis, and his later movies and then Las Vegas. Back then elvis really was the most famous man on the planet like the Col said. Elvis was universally loved no matter what he did. I can remember laying on the floor listening to an album with head phones, that had been recorded live in Hawaii. It had the comments of fans being interviewed. Everyone knew he was living on borrowed time because of the weight gain and stumbling around lyrics on stage. But he never lost his tremendous vocal range and ability to take an average song, run roughshod over the lyrics and make an iconic hit. His voice was always recognized and each song memorable. No one looked like him, talked like him, laughed at himself like did or worked as hard as he did. The very few times Priscilla let Lisa Marie's face be shown in paparazzi photos, she obviously looked like Elvis. Austin Butler did somethin I thought would never happen. He made me think I was watching the real Elvis. The work he put into this is phenomenal. Yes, please give him and the movie Oscars. GOLDEN GLOBES as WELL.
I became a fan of Austin after watching the movie. My jaw dropped watching him - he is so very good. He should get an Oscar. This movie should get an Oscar.
First time I watched the movie was on the last day of June, now again yesterday (August 4th) I gotta say WOW me and my dad are blown away!! Both times experience I was COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS walking out the theatre at the end, but it’s WORTH IT! I’m not sure🤷♀️ if I’ll be able to see it again for the 3rd time or not. Otherwise I’m excited to get it on DVD📀 when it comes out! Austin deserves every award for his OUTSTANDING performance and I really hope that will happen - HE IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! WAY TO GO MAN!! 👏👏👏👏 TCB⚡️
I saw Elvis in concert when I was 11. He died the following year on my birthday and I’ve always enjoyed listening to his music. I still get goosebumps listening to his stage appearances from Space Odyssey to his band breaking in and when you hear all the ladies scream as he walks on stage. I was in the third row and remember the imagery vividly. I was not disappointed one bit with this movie. Austin Butler is an amazing talent!
I think perhaps the most remarkable thing about his portrayal - much like Rami Malek’s in Bo Rap - is that outside of the role he doesn’t particularly resemble Elvis in day to day life, and yet his remarkable talents as an actor perfectly encapsulated both Elvis’s demeanour, AND his look. He deserves an Oscar. I’m a fan, can’t wait to see his next film, absolutely remarkable actor
Austin was Magnificent 🤩 He is absolutely amazing, perfect as Elvis 💕 I'm sooo happy when I watch him act, sing, and move as Elvis, he is absolutely Breathtaking 🔥💖✨
Amazing . How also intimidating all those people looking at you . He sounds like him so much . He doesn’t look like Elvis exactly but he had very similar futures and more important he capture his whole spirit . He is an awesome actor because well he has done theatre and I have notice actors that do theatre ; when filming are more wi much more better in their acting 🎭
Just like Rami did in Queen, Austin must win that Oscar for best actor. His portrayal of Elvis was unbelievable. Too good. As a kid I used to watch his movies and was hooked on them and girls in them were stunning and I would always envy his life in that period of time. Elvis would've loved the movie.
I’m sure the other guys after the Oscar are deserving but I can’t help but think no one devoted 3 years of his life learning & performing as the great Elvis ! Austin’s hard work displayed a brilliant performance . He put himself out there ! He deserves the top prize !
Sweet boy, he was basically having a panic attack when Baz made him sing for the RCA ppl, and it was such a great idea because it help Austin gain confidence in himself, he did an amazingly vibrant, magnetic, magnificent job.
Unreal. One of Top 5 acting performances of all-time. And he had to sing and dance. Only a PTSD survivor could act like that, and judging by Austin''s childhood, he had his share of trauma.
We strreamed it at home but then I HAD to go see it in the theater on a big screen. I just wish I could see it in like an IMAX quality one - I was too late, missed it when it first came out. But I will be watching again.
That's what I felt. The first time I saw the movie I got choked up, I wanted to cry for some reason. So I waited two weeks and saw it again and really paid attention to how Elvis became the icon he was. Austin was magic in this role.
When I first saw Austin Butler-I thought -no way-he doesn’t look anything like Elvis. But I am just blown away by how I well he has portrayed him…Oscar please….
It's hard not to fall in love with Austin Butler. He's extremely talented, but he seems so sweet and nice.
Absolutely! Watched the movie 4 times already :)
@@Verbsdescribeus You're my hero! 4 TIMES!
He kind of reminds me of Johnny Depp. Speaks similarly.
yes, he looks very sweet and shy, but good fighter inside. I watched 3 times 🤭
@Simple Man I couldn't agree more with you. I hope we see him in more starring roles!
Give Austin an Oscar.
YES YES YES 🔥🔥🔥
I will even stay awake for the occasion at the Oscar night
Oh, he HAS to get the Oscar!
I was watching BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY again the other night. Rami Malek did a phenomenal job, and deserved that Oscar win.
Austin was every bit as perfect as Rami.
You spend three years in someone’s skin you perfect the portrayal. Austin did.
Absolutely!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
YES!! WE WILL RIOT OTHERWISE!!!
I can't wait for the extended cut with more of his performances. Incredible movie.

Harry Styles being talked about as Elvis?
OH NO!!!
@@cards0486 HARRY STYLES WAS GONNA BE ELVIS 😭😭👎👎 oh my word sometimes all people care about is names and not talent anymore
@@cards0486 i love harry but he wouldn’t be a good Elvis at all
Did he sing if I' can dream 'and other deep elvis voice WOW he should just do elvis all the time if he sang unchained melody hard that one ?
@@Marita940 By the time they were doing the later songs, they were mixing Elvis’s and Austin’s voices together.
But the 50s were all Austin.
I am SO IMPRESSED with Austin Butler. Never heard of him before this movie. NOW.....I'm a huge fan!
