“And the Oscar goes to….(insert actor’s name) those are the precious words many actors hope to hear at least once during their career! And “Oh Man” actor Austin Butler has a good chance of hearing his name called out at this year’s Academy Awards show.

Austin Butler says receiving an Oscar nomination for his role as Elvis Presley in “Evlis”, “feels like a dream.”

Butler’s win comes almost two weeks after the death of Lisa Marie Presley — the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley — with whom Butler became close during the movie’s production. Lisa Marie Presley came out to support Butler and the film earlier this month at the Golden Globes.
