Austin Butler did something that is incredibly difficult... he won over Elvis fans. His performance portrayed who Elvis was as both performer and person with such respect, dignity, and integrity. The task was thought nearly impossible by Elvis fans until Austin Butler. He took this as a responsibility rather than a role and he deserves to be recognized for it. One of the best performances I've ever seen.
oh so happy to have you all ❤❤❤❣❣ as my family....If you are a great fan of mine and you love me can I get a big YESS From you ❤❤❤ as you join me to enlarge the fan...write me in my inbox
He won me over. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see the "Elvis" movie, but I'm glad I did.
@@sharonjensen3016 I wasn't sure, too. But when I saw the trailer, I couldn't stop myself. The movie have some contradictions, but Austin's acting was beyond remarkable!
I 1000% agree!!!
@@rosilenesousa361 Yeah, I became an Elvis fan because of 2003 miniseries but I didn't know enough to know that was nothing like the real deal. I was apprehensive when I heard they were making the move not just about the actor who would play Elvis but Tom Hanks playing I guy you're meant to hate. Both won me over and it's a travesty Austin doesn't have an Oscar today.
Brendan & Austin are friendship goals. How happy did Brendan look when Austin won...both such amazing actors and human beings.
Yeah I noticed that
They’re both such genuinely good dudes
Yes!
This is beautiful!
One rooting for the other!
I know right? I want them both to win!
It's called "acting", and an actors greatest performance is acting like they are happy for another person to win an award they're nominated for.
He really went above and beyond in his portrayal.
He certainly did. No wonder he ended up being hospitalised. He really gave the part his all.
Lisa and Elvis are very honored and proud. Very well deserved!
@melissamagan7299, when Austin thanked the Presley family, you could feel the gratitude he had for Elvis and I even shed a tear because Lisa Marie wasn't there !!!
Austin Butler deserved the British award. He should have gotten the American Oscar too. The judges should have been Fair & not just Kind.
Deserved, but also look at Brendan Fraser's face reaction when Austin was announced, man, both would be very deserving!!!
Austin loves everybody so much, Brendan looked so very happy for Austin. We Americans are extremely happy and over joyed for AUSTIN!
What a MAN ❤
What an AMAZING HUMAN BEING ❤️
😭😭😭
I never thought in my lifetime that I would watch any one person do an Elvis movie & be so spot on about Elvis in the movie. No could could’ve done this job any better than Austin . Lisa Marie and her father Elvis are probably smiling the biggest smile from Heaven! Go Austin !!!
So happy for Austin!💜💜
What a class act Austin is. Wonderful heartfelt speech. As an American actor who once played Elvis in Hollywood, I salute Austin. Elvis is very elusive to capture on film. A million best wishes..
Also, excellent work by Fraser and Farrell..
The genuine surprise on his face when his name was called...you deserve this Austin!
I have not actually taken an active interest in a "new" actor like this in basically my entire life. I became a genuine fan of Austin Butler as a result of the role in ELVIS, but the reason I hope he continues with all the success in the world is totally because of who HE is.
The same with me! He's my new favorite actor. ❤
Austin has sooo many more awards to come because he is such a fabulous actor. He turned himself inside-out and gave everything he has to give back our precious Elvis to us, and he succeeded beyond any expectation WOW!
I'm with you. He did an awesome job in his role as Elvis and a humble wonderful personality.
Sadly, people who say he doesn't deserve this have no clue how much work Austin had done and how much of his life he'd put in to portray such an iconic star as Elvis. I watched a lot of documentaries, interviews, behind the scenes and comparison videos since watching this film, and tbh, the effort he's put in to embody Elvis was another level. I loved both Brendan and Colin's performances this season but it's a tall order what Austin did, especially the artistry and respect both he and Baz had put into making the film. Better just ignore the haters, the majority who mattered (Presleys, critics and audience) have spoken. Well done, Austin!
So happy for him! He is amazing! Such a great movie!
You can really feel his emotions 🥹
So happy for him and so deserved!
TCB , Austin ... TCB for Elvis ! Such a stunning performance !
Well done beautiful soul ....you deserve every single award coming your way!!
Congratulations! So proud of you. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You deserve it! ❤️
he's amazing in elvis, totally deserved, a body work that hasn't been seen in movies for years
He played Elvis great. He is such a great actor
the way you can feel his voice on the verge of breaking because of the emotions he's feeling, aaaah, i love him to bits, he truly deserved this
It feels so surreal watching him in Shannara Chronicles to now winning a bafta for playing Elvis Presley.
If he doesn’t win an Oscar, there is something truly wrong.
If only there could be a tie between Butler and Fraser.
@@abbeyshell23 If he doesn’t win an Oscar there’s something like a Brendan Fraser.
@@visions_of_noah Austin butler is winning the oscars
Congratulations to Austin and the Elvis movie! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🏆🏆🏆🏆
As a huge elvis fan this boy blew me away with this performance
Yes!!! 🥰😍 So pleased Austin won! Well deserved! 🤩
I knew it the moment I saw the film last year. Very proud and happy 🤭
Congratulations to Austin Butler!
Well deserved!!! He did Elvis proud!!! 👍😀
We are so proud of you austin!
Congratulations!
TCB
What a beautiful talented young man
Austin Butler will ever be one of my favorites! He did Elvis is style and grace! To win over Elvis’ loyaltists is a mountain to climb for sure! We don’t just let anyone in when comparing them to the King! Congratulations, Austin! May your career be forever successful! It will be fun watching you and cheering you on! I pray you have a long and happy life!
Thanks 💕
Brendan Fraser giving Austin the biggest applause. Love them both.
I cried my eyeballs out when I saw The Whale.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello make you smile..
Good Lord, love this kid. He deserves this, good call BAFTA! Give him the Oscar
A beautiful human being! 🙂
Austin deserved Best Actor at the Oscars. His performance was stunning!!!! Saw Elvis 3 times!!!!
Thanks dear 💕💕
Are you one of my register fan?
Oscars are agenda based union members. Fortunately, BAFTA is the UK Oscar equivalent. The States went with Fraser's sentimental comeback story and victim narrative because America felt they owed him, plus the U.S. doesn't like to give best actor to those in their first lead role. That's why Austin won 13 Breakthrough Performance Awards in America and only 3 as lead with People's Choice, Sunset Circle and Minnesota Film Critics. However he won lead actor internationally with Hollywood Foreign Press Golden Globe, UK BAFTA, Catalonia Spain Sant Jordi, Australia AACTA International and Domestic versions, Ireland IFTA International, International Press Academy Satellite, Portugal CinEuphoria, South African Online Film Critics
@@Price70 oh shut up; you really think the Yanks wouldn’t give one of their own who played an American legend an Oscar? The fact that he didn’t just shows how hard it is to get an Oscar, the requirements are really hard
@@hollister2320 😂 what are the requirements? Being older or having personal struggles? Oscars are clearly based on agenda towards lifetime achievement or personal sentimental stories. And they don't give it to people in their first lead role. Fraser was given repairation in the States but not abroad. If any non acting narrative should apply it would be the dedication to a part for two years to where you lose yourself in the role, combined with the relevant aspect of portraying basically 3 different people over 3 deacdes on and off the concert stage, as is what happened with Butler. Now compare that to Fraser playing himself, a sweet guy who's broken, depressed and on the verge of tears. A24 pandered with Hollywood parties, that's why literally all 4 of their actors won both SAG and Oscars. How hard was it for Paul Newman as Fast Eddie to win the Oscar, when he did nothing in the Color of Money, or Art Carney in Harry and Tonto etc? Lifetime Achievement. All the winners for Hollywood SAG and Oscars were in their 50s and 60s. It's obvious. I noticed you referred to the Americans as Yanks, telling me you must be British. Well, you should be proud of your British film industry Academy because they were clearly objective. And always have been. 45 of the 55 applicable ceremonies since the international and British categories were combined, many times British actors and actresses lost to non Brits, and sometimes Brits aren't even nominated
Elvis's spirit is in the building!
I loved his performance in the film Elvis, I hope he wins an Oscar for his portrayal of the 👑 king " Mr Elvis Presley"!
Austin was not only nominated for the Oscar, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild (Where most think he wins if he didn't have to face the obstacle of the Hollywood bias against awarding someone in their first leading role, and facing the irrelevant comeback narrative of Fraser and his crying in public) but Austin won The Foreign Press Golden Globe, UK BAFTA, Barcelona Sant Jordi, Australia AACTA International, International Press Academy Satellite, CinEuphoria, Sunset Circle, Minnesota Film Critics and People's Choice, as well as 11 Breakthrough Performance awards including two from the Palm Springs and Santa Barbara International Film Festivals. He's also up for the Irish International category at IFTA and the Mtv Award
That was an amazing speech.. I was teary eyed
You truely deserve the Bafta award, congratulations.☀️☀️
Austin gave all he had. So Happy he finally can Bring in harvest.
He was awesome in the role.
God bless him! Even though he's young he's seen years of failure and now he's successful beyond imagination! Always Keep winning Austin!
Very heartfelt very humble he still carries the Elvis moments. God bless and keep the faith!
*I'm too sensitive for this. He captured Elvis. He became Elvis. And he worked his azz*
*off to achieve it. Congrats to Austin.* 😢💥💫
The scene where Elvis is grieving the death of his beloved mother Gladys wasn't just acting. That was real. Because Austin's mother died too. He was the same age Elvis had been (23) when Gladys died.
Well done... well deserved 👏🤝
Elvis would be proud 🕺
Well deserved win 🏆
Such a wonderful humble kind man
He deserved it, he deserves all awards, he’s such a humble, sweet, talented man.
Similar to the guy he portrayed!!
fr
Man thanked everyone, what a freaking legend!
We’ll done Austin. You were amazing in Elvis. Easily deserved 👏🏻 talented kid.
He is just beautiful in this movie....he nailed it!!
Well done Austin you so deserve it.
Best actor of this generation ❤
Thank you for including the ENTIRE video (ie: not cutting anything from it), from hearing his name called, to hugging his co workers, to walking up to the stage, to his whole speech. Congrats, Team Elvis on all four of the BAFTA wins and a special whoo hoo to Austin! You did this Elvis fan proud! My boy, my boy! 💝
Yesss!! And THANK YOU BAFTAS for not playing stupid music to rush him off the stage like the Golden Globes did 🙄 They gave the BEST ACTOR like 30 seconds to accept the award
My boy, My boy..is for Elvis only...I'm glad Austin won but I'm disappointed he didn't mention Lisa Marie or thank her where she is..
I was surprised of that too… Maybe he couldn’t even talk about her… 😶🥹🥲😭
And what an incredibly beautiful speech, done from his heart, no notes...Congratulations, Austin, on this and everything to come!!
im sure that Elvis and Lisa are so proud now❤😢
I knew this guy was going to be a big 🌟 someday! Congratulations 👍
i am seeing Heath Ledger on him
What a performer. So very much deserved ❤. A Baz Luhrmann masterpiece.
I'm so happy! Well deserved
Beautiful words from the heart truly deserved much love and respect honor and grace Soo deserved God bless u please love and blessings 2 the Presley family ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
So well deserved!!! Congratulations Austin Butler!!! 🏆👏
When he put his hand on his heart it made me smile that’s how you can tell when guys are truly being genuine. What I’ve noticed over the years when guys like austin who have a caring heart and put their hand right onto their chest grabbing it like they are holding their heart out of gratitude they are incredibly grateful for someone or something and feel moved
👏 Congratulations Austin! You were awesome in this role. 👏 I'm happy with you 😊
A great actor. Very well deserved. Love him!
Brendan Fraser was better, Oscar will do Justice
So proud of you Austin
The hug he gave Julianne🥺❤️

Congratulations Austin, you did a fantastic job 🥰👏👏👏🥰😍
I love Elvis. And now I love Austin Butler. He was absolutely magical. I don't feel anyone could have done a better job or ever will, he was simply magnificent. I still can't quite believe that he didn't win the best actor Oscar, shame on The Academy Awards. Perhaps he was just TOO good. I wish only the best things for this man in the future, I hope his star shines bright forever, just like the great man Elvis himself. You did him proud Austin, the whole Presley family proud and every Elvis fan around the world proud with your phenomenal talent and beautiful soul. You are a rare gem.
Fantastic. I'm so glad he got a Bafta. Elvis is such a good film. I absolutely loved every minute of it

Awesome, Brendan. I'm praying Austin will win the Sag and Academy Award. Congratulations, Austin, Love You Always. Brendan, Love You Always.
Austin was not only nominated for the Oscar, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild (Where most think he wins if he didn't have to face the obstacle of the Hollywood bias against awarding someone in their first leading role, and facing the irrelevant comeback narrative of Fraser and his crying in public) but Austin won The Foreign Press Golden Globe, UK BAFTA, Catalonia Sant Jordi, Australia AACTA International,
AACTA Domestic version,
South African Online Film Critics,
Ireland international category at IFTA,
International Press Academy Satellite, CinEuphoria, Sunset Circle, Minnesota Film Critics and People's Choice, as well as 13 Breakthrough Performance awards including two from the Palm Springs and Santa Barbara International Film Festivals.
Austin has to be one of the most gentle and humble up and coming actors ever! Such a lovely young man and an amazing actor!
S freckles you said it spot on. Austin is amazing and deserves every award.
Seeing Brendan crying of happiness when Austin looked at him, I felt that those two aren’t rivals…they’re best friends.
He put the work in and was brilliant! Very well deserved
I'd be happy if he won the oscar too

He was brilliant as elvis. So deserving
Austin you may have been cheated out of the Oscar but you will always have our hearts us Elvis fans
Proud that us Brits recognised this young man's incredible talent and his dedication to the role, where the Oscars didnt! He spent 3 years immersing himself in all things Elvis and not only did he have to act and sing, he had to learn how to walk and talk like Elvis. He pulled it all off magnificently. Great film and I am sure Elvis would definitely have approved!
I am so happy for him he really deserved this he was amazing and his reaction and Brendan’s reactions were the best so happy and it was just so wonderful
This young man is a great actor. I seen the movie 3 times
what a beautiful soul austin is, i feel like austin and brenden are enlightened souls after having gone through hardships, and they appreciate each other as human beings
You know him personally do you?
Congratulations Austin💙💚💜❤️💛
Such a humble young actor and Thanked every single person who has worked with him to achieve such an award. Brendan Fraser and Colin Farrell were both very happy for Austin as the Oscar Awsrds is only a few weeks away on the 13th March. Austin has a great possibility to win it!!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello make you smile..
