SBIFF 2023 - Austin Butler Virtuosos Award Discussion

[@ruthnagarya2028]

"There are times when Austin has so much charisma, you forget you are watching an ACTOR you feel like you're watching ELVIS Presley. Austin has a SPECIAL AURA, a quality that can't be built.....Gary Oldman on 7./28/22. Then the quote, "yOU cannot overstate THE LEVEL OF ACTING ACHIEVEMENT BY AUSTIN" by Baz Luhrmann. . THIS is why Austin Butler deserves the OSCAR THIS YEAR FOR BEST ACTOR,. hIs Acting is light years ahead of any other nominee...period!

[@anehuesa5303]

YESSS!!!!

[@anandamoersid4747]

Yes , as an actor, Austin did not rely on intuition only..he observed and studied hard to find the essence, spirituality and humanity of Elvis..that makes him such an outstanding performer. Kudos to Austin Butler !

[@lifeissweet9826]

I think your comment explains why Austin had such success in the role. It explains why I had such a big reaction to the movie from first viewing. You just know thst elvis had this same type of shyness but great big talent. Someone said some actors really do have the "it" factor. Most actors don't have that, they just act well.tom Hanks doesn't have that, but Brad Pitt does and Matthew McConaughey. Maybe Leo. They can be a success on just that! In most cases they really can act. Troy Donahue had the it factor in spades but his acting was mediocre. He didn't last. Hopefully Austin can last a long time like Leo. Just don't get married to a celeb.

I could listen to Austin talk for hours, he is so kind, humble, and sweet. I think he deserves every award, especially the Oscar 🙂💕

[@DYA9091]

Austin has a massive talent, his ability to transmit emotions with his eyes, with a subtle expression, is amazing, he is one of a kind, such a rare gem. I truly hope the academy does the right thing and give Austin his more than deserved Oscar.

[@donnakomarc6677]

Love the perfect gem !!! Indeed that’s exactly what Austin is !!! A real jewel for all to enjoy ! 😊❤

[@patriciaotis2491]

And I hope hid new found fame doesn't go to his head and he remains a humble person. That would be great because right now he is perfect!

[@DYA9091]

@@patriciaotis2491 he has a beautiful kind soul,and he always will.

[@lifeissweet9826]

Did yu know that CM and the cinematography team noticed how Austin could affect people with his gaze? So they decided to shine a small light in his eyes during certain scenes to make them sparkle since his gaze was disarming anyway. One scene where elvis is sitting with Priscilla and baby Lisa, he's looking at the camera and they shine a light in his eyes and they pop up real blue. Elvis had ice blue eyes not sky blue. Elvis eyes would change tho with different shirts. So in his movies his eye color could be hazel or real blue. My grandsons eyes can change from green to blue.

[@DYA9091]

@@lifeissweet9826 I'm not talking about his eyes been sparkly, I'm talking about the deep emotions he transmits, like for instance the pain in his eyes when he looks up during unchained melody, the anger and fear while he is in the floor after fainting; the deep frustration, disappointment, pain, rage when his dad tells him they're broke, or the pain, disappoinment, anger, confusion and surrender when he is talking with Tom parker when he comes out of the elevator, just to name a few, all these mix of emotions at the same time is uncanny.

[@javierserna1000]

Wow, Oscar is coming for Austin. First time I was able to feel Elvis again.. No one has ever been able to do that!

[@gwinnjohnson7936]

"I love you and your beautiful soul" #Elvis #Oscar #oscarbound #forthewin. @AustinButler deserves the win for #bestactor, hands down! I'm hoping Elvis (movie) and Austin make a clean sweep at the Oscar's and get ALL 8 awards Elvis is nominated for! #letsgo #cleansweep #8awards

[@LukgadePayakorn]

Austin has been in the show business for so long but before Elvis, he seemed to have low self confidence which didn't help him to shine much. But Elvis movie changed him in the good way, he is still shy but with more confidence, still humble but proud of his work. These make him more attractive and lovable. Baz has got good eyes for casting him and I believe that Baz also helps bring out the in him. 🥰

[@strayfreckles]

I loved this interview, he's so well spoken... it's so nice to hear him speaking. He truly deserves all this spotlight, his hard work should be rewarded

[@cindythomas5895]

[@robertacampbell5382]

Austin reminds u of old school Hollywood and takes his career seriously. Yet thriugh everything he serms 2 be truly humble and sincere. This guy definitely will have a long amazing career but it is still disgusting the academy robbed him of the Oscar he truly deserved 4 he did deliver a once in a lifetime Oscar performance yet didn't take the award home. Shame on u academy voters.

[@yislainneitzel21]

He seems so happy on the last few interviews he have done🤍
