If he does not win the Oscar, it will be a tragedy. Austin is now part of the Elvis legacy.
ABSOLUTELY!!! ♥️👑
I’m worried that the Hollywood elitist attitude, and lack of respect for Baz, will be what keeps Austin from getting the Oscar he deserves.
Rami Malek won, and Austin’s job was much harder than Rami’s. And I believe Rami deserved that Oscar.
Rami won the Golden Globe, didn’t win Critic’s Choice, won the SAG leading up to the Academy Awards,
If Austin wins the SAG I will have more hope that he’ll win in March.
You know Delores Hart, Mother Delores Hart, is still a member of the Academy. She is sent all the movies and a ballot.
I figure once she sees ELVIS, her votes in all categories are a lock. 😊
Austin must win the Oscar he was Phenomenal!!!
Just love him and his phenomenal portrayal of the King
@@cards0486 yes very dissapointing and not right how Baz was not nominated for Best Director! a lot of people worked very hard on the Elvis Movie, but being the director of this extremely ENTERTAINING, SENSATIONAL, FANTASTIC , ARTISTIC BRILLIANT MESMERISING MOVIE FROM START TO FINISH BAZ DEFINATLEY DESERVES RECOGNITION! I saw the movie 11 times at the big screen cinema,👍🥰from Australia
He was Elvis possessed! Elvis’ spirit inhabited Austin!!!! I think Elvis would have approved of Austin!!!!
U said it perfectly. ❤
Easily. Some of the scenes made me lose my breath. Not too many people can do that
I've seen Austin talk about his experiences making Elvis in so many interviews, yet I can never get bored of hearing his stories and thoughts on his process and craft, he is so thoughtful and insightful.
Here's hoping he's cleared a space on his mantelpiece for his Oscar ❤️
One of the best interviews I've watched with Austin. Some of the most incisive questions I've heard been put to him. We've got a huge insight into how he ticks while he explored how Elvis ticked: such integrity. An Oscar please!
Yes, definitely.
Couldn't say that any better. Amazing interviewer and subject.
I love this interview and I hadn't heard about Denzel and Priscilla telling Baz to cast Austin as Elvis. Wonderful insights.
Austin was chosen by the divine to tell this story and do right by Elvis.
To me, there's no doubt that Austin Butler's portrayal of Elvis kicked ass. I love the way he describes Elvis in interviews and I respect how hard he worked to "be" Elvis. This interview was fantastic and I would like to give a huge thumbs up to Vladimir Duthiers for letting Austin talk and not interrupting like many interviewers do. Really appreciate that. He knows his stuff and asked a lot of great questions as did the audience. Thanks for filming this. I agree with Austin when he says, "There's never been a person I haven't met that I've loved more than Elvis".
Austin in fact embodied Elvis. This movie is more, much more than a portrait.
Provides
this young man's work ethic in learning everything about Elvis is amazing.He deserves the Oscar
How the heck did he do what he did. As an actor, he absolutely embodied Elvis entirely. As an Elvis fan since the 60's and watching Elvis over the years on TV and in Concert, Austin brought him back to life.
He resurfaced our deep love for Elvis. He did an amazing portrayal of our beloved KING OF ROCK AND ROLL! Great job Austin!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the way Austin explains things and the words he uses to describe his feelings...like he has a shock absorber to absorb the pain of losing his mother that he carries through life. Perfectly said.
Concordo!! Entrevista precisa. Um Austin sensivel,tocante ,vesdadeiro. Com Oscar ou sem Oscar, já é um filme premiado,pq nos trouxe de volta,p nossos corações, o saudoso e imortal- ❤🎶🎤🎸ELVIS PRELEY.
Austin Butler needs to win an Oscar for his performance! The best movie I have seen in a long time. I have watched it at least 5 times and I will definitely watch many more times. Austin is mesmerizing! I could not take my eyes off him. Austin worked hard on this movie and he definitely needs to win many more awards! This was the most classy acceptance speech I have ever heard. Austin is so sincere, thankful, intelligent, and took this movie very serious . I am so thankful Lisa Marie could see Austin win this award! ❤
A lot of my students are asking me about Elvis due to the movie. So, thank you, Austin, for teaching a whole generation that, yes, better music existed in the past.
Watching this interview I am struck by just how an honest, intelligent, articulate young man Mr. Butler is. Everything about him is so real and authentic. He really did Elvis and Elvis's musical legacy and life proud. No airs, no phoniness, just straightforward and from the heart. Mr. Butler's performance deserves a Golden Globe, Oscar, and Screen Actor's Guild Award.
I love Austin...incredibly talented, a perfect gentleman, handsome and a class act.
Austin is a genius himself, massively talented, absolutely mesmerizing, magnificent, he absolutely deserves that Oscar !!!!!!!
Austin should have won the Oscar!! He was Elvis!!!!!!!
Wow, Austin really did do everything to become Elvis.
Austin Butler was born to play this role fantastic performance 👏 👏
Dear Academy, give the man his well deserved Oscar already! 👏👏👏
I believe him playing Elvis was chosen by the Divine........he was just wonderful!
May I add, Austin very much deserves his Oscar 💖💖
When he was in the closet crying while holding on to the clothes, it made me cry. I think everyone who lost their mom could feel his pain. I lost my mom when I was 20. 😪
He definitely deserves an Oscar
"Wallpaper of culture"...WOW!
I hope members of the academy that will vote for best actor see some of these interviews about the beyond extensive prep work he did for this role... it's Oscar worthy in itself !!!! Love this kid.... so gifted and talented......
The problem with the Academy is that it's all political. Has been for as long as I can remember. Same with the Grammy's. Why do you suppose Elvis only won three, for gospel? He should have won dozens. They did do the right thing finally and give him a Lifetime Achievement award when he was 36.
He's so talented. He deserves every award.
He is definitely a spitten image of our king,talented,sings ✌️👍😉🤙👌🙏,just as handsome as Elvis,balls to be himself can we ask for more,don't need to😜👄🤗
I have 4 words to say and that’s it. I love this man
The humanity in Elvis is really what brought me 8 times to 8 different cinemas and all the team did a fantastic job! Also, the most important person to have approved this cinematographic masterpiece is Lisa Marie Presley.
Austin my 13 year old granddaughter has watched the Elvis movie over 20 times she even did a virtual Disney 5K run on the treadmill watching the Elvis movie& her Christmas list is all Elvis from a IPhone Elvis cover to Elvis playing cards and it makes this grandmas heart so happy and it’s because of your Phenomenal work you put into Elvis!! I know u have had a lot of great responses I just want u to know you are in my prayers!! As a mom & grandma you having lost your mom at such a young age and hearing about your memories with her are special, I want you to remember when you think of your mom she’s in a place so beautiful they call it Paradise. Until it’s your time for you to enter paradise with your mom please keep your focus on doing everything you can to make her proud because she ( and God) see everything you are doing so you keep that in mind every minute of everyday & in every decision you make! If you EVER and I mean this with the love of a mother for a son (my son is 40) need someone to encourage you and someone you can trust I will always be here for you! I just feel led by The Holy Spirit to be here for you. You can send me an IM via Facebook! Please know every minute of every day your mom is watching over you and sees you and is there for you. I know you have had many experiences of feeling The Holy Spirit in preparing for this role and those feelings are real they not something you imagined your moms with you right now as you read this and is always there for you. May God continue to bless you and guide you today and always. Much Love 💕💕💕🐜🐝
Watching the movie was just unbelievable. When I left the theater, I felt Elvis was alive. I want to thank Austin for doing the movie and putting his all into it. You truly have done a wonderful job.
AUSTIN DESERVES THE OSCAR FOR HIS PERFORMANCE AS ELVIS💙🙏
AUSTIN IS SO SWEET & SINCERE & PROTECTIVE OF ELVIS & HIS FAMILY & CONCERNED THAT ELVIS' FAMILY WOULD LIKE & ACCEPT THE MOVIE & HIS PORTRAYAL OF ELVIS.
I've watched the film is 20+ times. I see things that I didn't notice before. So I keep watching and watching and never get tired of it . He's remarkable and Oscar worthy ...
I have seen numerous Austin interviews and in each one he is more impressive.
From Germany
What a special soul and wise young man/actor 🙏😍👌🌹
Austin Butler absolutely killed it on SNL. I have big respect for the man who portrayed EP so well, but I wondered if he could pull off live comedy. He was terrific. It is a MUST SEE! And I was going to be furious if he did not get nominated for the Golden Globe and Oscar Best Actor. I cannot wait to see him win! Tom Hanks got robbed, as he was not nominated. But he has won previously.
I never get tired of seeing Austin interviews. ❤
Austin always brings Baz and everyone into his dialog and I love that. Such a genuine soul he is. Baz is just brilliant. I hope to have coffee with Baz one day. Just brilliant.
44:51 Sam Bell is the name of the man Austin speaks about here. Search 'Baz Luhrmann interviews Elvis Presley's Child-hood friend Sam Bell' and you wont regret it. RIP Sam
We’ve heard these stories so many times but I feel like Austin added more details like how he cried and cried the day they wrapped. He talked about his vulnerability as an actor. It was soooo good! Maybe he should do more screenings alone, who knows! But I loved his more fleshed out answers this time!
Austin on SNL was Epic!! Jewish Elvis skit was incredible!! This old grandma has loved watching this kid act for years and was so excited to see him in The Shanara Chronicles, since I loved the books!! He was amazing in Elvis, I have seen the movie 5 times and loved it everytime! He deserves every award!!
5 times for me too plus I bought it on Prime.
I wish they would do a Shannara Chronicles movie and finish up the story.
I watched the skit of the Jewish Elvis. He was hilarious! I was in tears laughing so hard!
That question/statement the moderator brings up regarding introducing a younger generation to the early music business was FANTASTIC and in short… YES! 1000000 times YES!
Not only did I go back and read everything about Elvis, his life, his career his circle etc, but I’ve become utterly obsessed/fascinated by the early music business. It’s origins, how it changed and evolved with Elvis. How distribution of “race records” changed with the introduction of Elvis playing black music and figuring out how to package and monetize him.
There’s a lot from that time period that will peak a music lovers interest, and to Austin’s point, it’s so easy to completely allow yourself to obsess and dig into such a complex and rich history that I’ve throughly been enjoying discovering.
ELVIS THE MOVIE IS BRILLIANT AMAZING FANTATIC ARTISTIC SENSATIONAL , OSCARS GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE 👍🥰💙🙏
Great interview. Absolutely Austin Butler is amazing. Love the movie. Watched the movie 13 times in the Cinema. Hope he gets nominated for the Oscar.
Yes, agree the film has opened many eyes to our history. I think that’s one of the best impacts of the movie- that people are learning about the history of segregation, poverty, the extreme civil rights battles of the 50’s and 60’s. Elvis lived during these times and obviously broke many barriers, impacting culture. That’s why I love this movie so much. Through Elvis, we are learning about ourselves and our culture.
LOVE THAT SEE-THROUGH SHIRT!
Early on Elvis wore some similar see through shirts. They both pull it off so well.
Who wouldn't? 🤭
everything about this man is absolut perfection
by far the best interview i've seen of austin... the hard work, the talent, the evERYTHING. He's fantastic. I just really hope he could win the Academy Award but tbh, probably by how young he is, it won't go to him :(
OMG. Austin is such a beautiful soul, and he brought ELVIS back to life!!! Such an intelligent, thoughtful and magnificent person. Surely God chose him for this Epic performance. What a blessed man!! What a fantastic interview. The best I’ve read! I’ve watched this movie 5 times and will probably watch many more times. Don’t know if it’s only Elvis but Austin Butler is Elvis again. I cry immensely every time I watch it. Thank you Austin for YOU!!! ❤️🙏🏻🎸💔🥰
He's so humble; such a pleasure to watch.
I hope this gets him some great movie parts.
Best interview EVER!! It is the most in depth I have seen or heard yet.
Thank you for noting context and date of this lovely interview. Austin is always genuine and humble. His talent and commitment to his craft are amazing. I wish the very best for him and look forward to seeing his movies shot since ELVIS. BTW, I have been an Elvis fan since he rose to fame in the 1950s. Thank you Baz and Austin for this fantastic movie!
That is the BEST interview with Austin I have seen.
WOW I grew up with Elvis as my Favorite!! Austin IS Elvis and I love him and the interview was the best ever!❤❤
November 2022 , I went to the Philippines 🇵🇭 on my way .. I watched @elvismovie … Austin butler roles Elvis Presley I was so happy.. I played 6 times all over and over again . I never get tired!❤ that movie 🎥 good jobs Austin butler 👍
Staying, Elvis had blondish brown hair before he started dying it with his blue eyes. His coloring was a lot like Austin's really is. They both have sheer animal magnetism, Austin is more quiet but his presence is unbelievable and undeniable. Elvis was more raw, more it's amazing how this young man truly embodied him.❤
Austin Butler is. THE BEST 👏👏👏👏👏💫⚡️
Great interview. Really hope he wins that Oscar, he deserves it.
Really sad that he did not. The Whale was a good movie, but he had to give up 2 years of his life, hurt his shoulder, was hospitalized after he finished filming, how to sing the songs, and how Elvis talked. His voice changed as he aged. So much work for it not to be awarded.
Also, Top Gun was much the same. Those actors took at least a year out of their lives. It was a very good story as well. The academy got it wrong on a lot of things.
Probably the most important thing he will ever achieve
This is absolutely the best interview with Austin Butler. The Elvis movie was the best that i have seen and Austin made it that way. He is a fantastic movie that i have watched. Im a Elvis fan for years.
Austin is a sweetheart ❤
Great movie seen it several times. I bought it finally. Austin is great
Austin you are amazing so much work involved acting Elvis Elvis would be so proud of you Thank you 🙏🏽
OMG! So many fantastic questions. Thank you for this unbelievably genuine and candid conversation about Austin’s performance, prep, production and most importantly Elvis.
So many questions I had or that I’ve wondered about were answered.
Also, what a great question to end on. The cast sometimes sticks to quite canned responses; possibly because they are nervous about speaking out of turn or saying the wrong thing.
But I genuinely wanted to know what Austin’s thoughts were on that question. What he learned in his research and prep about how Elvis navigated the black and white world.
We know that as a teen he would bike down to West Memphis or Orange Mound to join performances with other black teens in the neighbourhood or hang out on Beale street and sort of existed in and was accepted into black spaces at a time when it was unheard of to do so. But we also know that there were parts of him, his experience and his interests that he often had to keep hidden and suppressed even from extended family due to prejudice within his own circles and environment. I really want to know how he walked that tight rope. How he rationalized it. If and when he reconciled it within himself (I believe in ‘68 he did some introspective work during the civil rights movement).
I believe that Nelson George, one of the researchers on The Elvis film plans to put out a project going a bit more in depth into this aspect of Elvis life/truth. Into the untold story that this film has honestly only scratched the surface of.
I don’t know why Graceland doesn’t dig more and share more about this side of his legacy. They’ve kind of tried to but usually they skirt the issue and the difficult questions and don’t really dive into it with transparency and honesty. But it’s important, if not just for posterity and public record. Especially as that generation ages out and passes on, it’s really just not well documented and that’s a true shame, but this film is a step in the right direction.
one of the best interviews iv ever seen with Austin he is such a lovely young man wishing him all the best for the future
A great interview - thank you for posting. Absolutely one of the best I've seen so far (and there have been a lot!) because he was provided the time and space to answer the great questions asked by Vlad and the audience. I really hope he wins the Academy Award, not just for his amazing portrayal of an incredible rebel, icon and legend, but also as recognition for how much of himself he put into this movie. Baz Luhrmann is a genius and the crew, cast and studio have a lot to be proud of. Let's hope there's #anoscarforaustin come awards night. This performance has literally changed my outlook on what it must have been like to be part of the Elvis world!
This was one of the best interviews I've seen, a nice long one too which is something always nice to hear as I love listening to Austin speak! Mr. Duthiers' questions were well thought out and Austins' responses were so right on, never caught off guard and just beautiful responses! I really enjoyed it because we were able to spend more time and listen to Austin, which totally makes my heart happy. I loved Austin's movie, Elvis, he was amazing, phenomenal, such a wonderful movie, I watched it 18 x in theaters. I loved it but would love to hear his audition song that he sent to Baz. In his SNL appearance, he has much, much more sense of humor than I ever knew, and "Lois", I am still laughing hysterically over her. But when he broke out singing Blue Christmas, OMG, I cried. Austin has such a beautiful singing voice, make no mistake, that was not Elvis, that beautiful voice was all Austin. God bless him for blessing us, he is in my heart! I see everything I can on him, he is absolutely amazing! 💖⚡💖 I can't wait for the other movies he's done.
This is the best interview of Austin I've ever seen! Thank you for posting! ❤️
Thank you so much for recording and uploading this! We all appreciate it!
I dont think you could ask Austin to do any more Elvis than he has already done. I feel like that's just a one-time thing.
Outstanding Performance
Wow! What a terrific interview. I've seen a lot of them and this was one of Austin's best. I learned so much! Thanks for posting.
He fucking nailed it to‼️
I love listening to Austin talk about his experiences in his acting career, or just talk about anything 🥰 His voice is so calming to me, such a soothing calm that just makes me love him all the more. He is very articulate and honest in his speaking. I hope someday of meeting Austin, my comfort would be complete. I love his films so much, especially the Elvis film. He's such a spectacular, phenomenal, mesmerizing person and actor. I could not love anyone more 💖✨💖
Thanks so much for filming and uploading this❤

#AustinButlerForTheOscar
Most important you enjoy your performance to act like Elvis Presley
I saw all his interviews but first time I heard about the Vegas scene where he was showing the musicians the song. Great interview
My favorite Actor is Austin Butler
Siiiiiiiiiiii ahora tu eres Elvis 2022
Man they have to be worn out doing interviews about the Elvis movie, almost non stop since May. Great movie and incredible job by Austin
That's what I was thinking. But George McKay did tons of interviews for 1917. But duo nothjngo like this glut of appearances Austin has done.
He’s working for the Oscar, which is well deserved.
True but Elvis did sell a billion records, so I think it makes sense, as well as award season coming up. Happy he gets some time off over the holidays 🎁
He’s ON FIRE
This was a great interview & I believe I’ve heard & read almost all
I watch Vlad on his news show,he's an Elvis fan. This is a good interview
That's for sure!!!!
Mereces el Oscar
❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️
Story of a much loved American legend and icon, sounds American looks American entirely filmed in Australia!
With Australian director and co-star etc.
@@TheFinnolayes WELL DONE AUSTRALIA 🥰
......and he never knocked over that water bottle,lol
❤❤
41:28 was such a good question
If the new Elvis fans of color they can watch how they treated Elvis . Watch Elvis and the black community. It's an eye opener for the ones that are critical of him. They did break his records and accused him of promoting Juvenile delinquency!
Suspect it related to the sensation of serving as a vessel/channeling, but would love to know exactly what he stopped himself from saying at 41:47.
Would have been a great video, too bad the camera moved around so much, had to shut it off half way through.
I totally agree Mandy's Investments. I will never watch Oscar's again.
Please respect future
