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.
Deserved, but also look at Brendan Fraser's face reaction when Austin was announced, man, both would be very deserving!!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
What a MAN ❤
What an AMAZING HUMAN BEING ❤️
😭😭😭
*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.
Austin loves everybody so much, Brendan looked so very happy for Austin. We Americans are extremely happy and over joyed for AUSTIN!
he's amazing in elvis, totally deserved, a body work that hasn't been seen in movies for years
TCB , Austin ... TCB for Elvis ! Such a stunning performance !
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
As a huge elvis fan this boy blew me away with this performance
So happy for him! He is amazing! Such a great movie!
He played Elvis great. He is such a great actor
Congratulations to Austin and the Elvis movie! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🏆🏆🏆🏆
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 💕
Congratulations! So proud of you. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You deserve it! ❤️
Well done beautiful soul ....you deserve every single award coming your way!!
Yes!!! 🥰😍 So pleased Austin won! Well deserved! 🤩
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..
You can really feel his emotions 🥹
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
Good Lord, love this kid. He deserves this, good call BAFTA! Give him the Oscar
We are so proud of you austin!
Congratulations!
TCB
So happy for him and so deserved!
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!!
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!
I knew it the moment I saw the film last year. Very proud and happy 🤭
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
We’ll done Austin. You were amazing in Elvis. Easily deserved 👏🏻 talented kid.
Congratulations to 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
You truely deserve the Bafta award, congratulations.☀️☀️
Man thanked everyone, what a freaking legend!
Well done Austin you so deserve it.
Well deserved!!! He did Elvis proud!!! 👍😀
What a performer. So very much deserved ❤. A Baz Luhrmann masterpiece.
He deserved it, he deserves all awards, he’s such a humble, sweet, talented man.
Similar to the guy he portrayed!!
fr
Such a wonderful humble kind man
Very heartfelt very humble he still carries the Elvis moments. God bless and keep the faith!
Seeing Brendan crying of happiness when Austin looked at him, I felt that those two aren’t rivals…they’re best friends.
Austin Butler is now a Bafta winner. Yayyyy! So happy for him. He is such an amazing man, a blessing. He deserves nothing but the best. I loved Brendan's expression. He was so happy for Austin. Awesome, Brendan. I'm praying Austin will win the Sag and Academy Award. Congratulations, Austin, Love You Always. Brendan, Love You Always.

A great actor. Very well deserved. Love him!
Brendan Fraser was better, Oscar will do Justice
Austin gave all he had. So Happy he finally can Bring in harvest.
You can tell that he’s just so grateful. So deserving.
Austin deserves to win every single award, the gift he gave us with his performance is far beyond greatness, he is so massively talented, he has such a beautiful powerful soul.
In dune two he is playing a sadistic pyscho sociopath
What a beautiful talented young man
Elvis's spirit is in the building!
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.
Congrats Austin, LMP and Elvis looking down , smiling with pride !!!You did it for the King 💖😎TCB ⚡️
He was awesome in the role.
So well deserved!!! Congratulations Austin Butler!!! 🏆👏
I am so happy for him. This guy put his heart and soul into the role of Elvis. He deserves all the awards.

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?
Best actor of this generation ❤
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'm so happy! Well deserved
👏 Congratulations Austin! You were awesome in this role. 👏 I'm happy with you 😊
congrats Austin!! truly mesmerizing performance! 😘
Austin is my new favorite actor. He deserves the Oscar! 😀
Baftas so white
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..
With Austin, Brendan and Colin's performances they were all in great company.
I said as I left the theatre last year, he'll win big come Awards season
Congratulations Austin for winning the bafta and golden globe. Now it's off to go to the Oscars for the nomination for Best Actor
Unfortunately he didn't win that award it went to the whale guy instead
He deserves!!!! Congratulations!
His transformation into Elvis was incredible; he didn't as much play Elvis as resurrect him! It was eerie; reminded me of Rami Malek's Oscar winning performance in Bohemian Rhapsody. Much deserved, though I have to say Brendan Fraser also did an awesome job in The Whale.
Fantastic. I'm so glad he got a Bafta. Elvis is such a good film. I absolutely loved every minute of it
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!

And it could not have gone to a more humble sweet actor than him, I do wish him further success..
Congratulations Austin, you did a fantastic job 🥰👏👏👏🥰😍
So proud of you Austin
He blew me away in that film. I kept waiting for him to slip up but I truly believed he was Elvis for the entire runtime. Unbelievable.
So deserved he was superb 🏆👏🏼👏🏼
S freckles you said it spot on. Austin is amazing and deserves every award.
