This is the reason why the movie ‘Elvis’ could come out on top at the 2023 Oscars

The movie of Baz Luhrmann, Elvis, caused a furor in July 2022, and when the awards season arrived, it has not been left behind since it is already claiming those that correspond to it. First he did it with the Golden Globeswhen Austin Butlerwho played the honoree Elvis Presleycollected his first award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, taking the title to best Actor.

Later, the film and its cast began to receive more award nominations such as: Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards, 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards, Costume Designers Guild Awards, Producers Guild Awards, NAACP Image Awards, American Film Institute Awards, SOC Award and the BAFTA Awards.

Finally, this Tuesday, January 24, the Hollywood Academy has awarded him nine nominations, involving the staff wardrobe, production, makeup, photography, sound, direction and acting. Undoubtedly, the film has achieved this recognition for its outstanding and impeccable work, which made it a favorite of the fanssince its premiere last year.

But there is another factor that could favor the film of luhrmannand finally make it the title of best film of the year, and that is the unfortunate death of Lisa Marie Presley. The only daughter of Elvis passed away just 11 days ago, leaving a void in the industry for his tragic departure. She was present throughout the entire production process of the film, accompanying the director and the main actor in his project.
