Do You Want Austin Butler in “Elvis” to Win the Best Actor at 2023 Oscars?

Do You Want Austin Butler to Win the Best Actor?

Do you want Austin Butler’s performance in “Elvis” to win Best Actor at the 2023 Oscars?

There are Elvis impersonators. Then, there is Austin Butler as Elvis. Tell me you’ve seen his Oscar nominated performance. The question is do you want him to win Best Actor in a Leading Role?

I grew up during a time when Elvis was more famous than dead or alive presidents. His name was money. And we all know cash is king. Well, he’s called the King of Rock & Roll because his hard work paid dividends like Coca-Cola. 

A Bright Future

Now, here we have Austin Butler, a 31-year-old movie star who’s shining bright as ever. That’s right he’s the man you see on the screen portraying the larger-than-life figure, the legend Elvis himself. Maybe, you’re asking where he came from. Or maybe you’re seizing the time and appreciating the moment.

If you want to know more about the actor’s background, you can check out his Wikipedia page. For the most part, the information is accurate and reputable. I’m discussing where this celebrity is going.

A Meeting With Tom Cruise

Does he fly in private jets yet? Have you seen photos and videos of him with Tom Cruise at the Oscars nominees’ luncheon? By the looks of it, Cruise is passing the torch to the young Hollywood star. Let’s propose a toast to Austin Butler. Welcome to the good life.

Something tells me this is only the beginning. Don’t be surprised if Cruise and Butler star in a movie or two together. Nowadays, Hollywood works fast and there’s room for everybody at the table.

It seems everybody wants to play the role of Elvis Presley, but Austin Butler put the hard work in and delivered an Academy Award winning performance. What more does the actor have to do to prove he’s the best?

And Tom Hanks

Fun fact: Tom Hanks plays a supporting role in the Elvis movie. End of discussion, because if Hanks is in the film it’s got to be top notch. The only thing is the young actor is up against some serious competition. Brendan Fraser in “The Whale” is generating a lot of buzz.

Not to take away from Fraser, but Butler became Elvis and took over the screen. In theaters or at home, you could see and hear an Elvis clone. He looked and sounded like the real deal. All around, it is a great movie and Austin Butler’s performance is part of the reason why.

Playing the most famous man on planet Earth and living up to expectations at the same time requires something greater than talent and dedication. Although not a superhero yet, he’s one of Hollywood’s best actors right now. Could you imagine him in a film with Michael B. Jordan?

In addition, the actor went on record about his good friendship with Selena Gomez. Did you see him on the cover of Vanity Fair? Better yet, have you read the story? It’s interesting to put together the connections.

The movie business is full of talent and the man playing Elvis is center stage. It looks like the movie star has a very bright future. If he takes home the Oscar for Best Actor, it’s a wrap.

The Golden Globes are done. The Grammys are done. The Oscars are almost done. Are you watching? 

It is all coming full circle. Jimmy Kimmel’s schedule to host. I am looking forward to watching the live event.

What are your thoughts? Have you watched the Elvis movie? Do you want Austin Butler to win Best Actor?

Michael B. Jordan Is One of the Best Actors

Pay attention to Michael B. Jordan!

If you’re an actor or a fan, you must see him shine. On my blog, I’ll see to it that his star shines bright as ever. What more does Jordan have to do for me to convince you he is one of the best of his generation? Here’s an actor whose filmography stands up to the best of them. Talk about Creed I, II, and now III. Plus, there’s Fruitvale Station and Journal for Jordan. His acting skills are on another level. He’s untouchable and unstoppable. Add Black Panther to the fold and we have an amazing entertainer. 

I really like his performance in Journal for Jordan.

Inspired by true events, the film that Denzel Washington directed highlights the best of emotions and raw feelings. The actor does an outstanding job playing a U.S. Army first sergeant. You would think he completed basic training at the very least. What separates Michael B. Jordan from other actors is preparation and dedication.In addition, he is believable as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Without Remorse is a must-see movie. You’ll enjoy Jodie Turner-Smith in the supporting actress role as well. 

Are you a fan of the actor? How long have you followed his career?

Maybe he’s been on my radar for about a decade. I wasn’t too familiar with his work on the Wire. But now, I’m intrigued to look back on his earlier television roles and more. It’s always interesting to see how much a celebrity develops their craft. Jordan can play the superstar (Jack Ryan) or the sidekick (Killmonger). With a reach like his, he can impact the masses with a social media post or PSA.

Tonight, on Saturday January 28, 2023, Michael B. Jordan will host NBC Saturday Night Live (SNL). Are you looking forward to seeing him perform as much as I am?

I can’t wait to see the surprises in store for the audience. Also, I may Tweet like last weekend just for fun. Of course, there’s a chance I might give a pop quiz. Now is Michael B. Jordan’s time to shine. Saturday Night Live selected him for a reason. Doesn’t he have magnetic power? Stars attract attention…lots of it…some call it gossip.

This celebrity is in the entertainment news by personal choice. Do you think Jordan thinks about how much SNL will extend his reach? Or do you think a celebrity of his caliber only cares about awards and merits such as Golden Globes, Emmys, and Academy Awards. What drives him to work every day as hard as he does? Have you seen photos and videos of this man working out in the gym? That’s why I say he’s untouchable and unstoppable. He has a never quit mentality that transfers to the silver screen.

He and director Ryan Coogler have a strong bond. They should work on more films together. Also, I feel Michael B. Jordan has a great chemistry with Creed costar Tessa Thompson. I love seeing them share the big screen. Finally, I can’t wait to watch Creed III on March 3, 2023. Did you know Jordan directed this one on his own?

Jurassic World Dominion Countdown

Jurassic World Dominion gives new meaning to the expression living under a rock. What’s your comfort level with stones? When does the stone age start and end? It seems like we will be living in the Jurassic period in June. So let’s begin where the story ends as we start our countdown to another movie.

Making a fire may not require rubbing stones together, but it still works. No matter what period, you need elements of fire to dominate the planet. In 2022, the release of Jurassic World Dominion is right on time.

Coming to theaters June 10, Jurassic World Dominion stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Shining brighter than ever, the Hollywood stars will align and create a lunar event. The onscreen chemistry of Pratt and Howard will catapult the box office walls. I expect this movie to rule the box office. And shattered records are also predicted. Will they run out of tickets to print? Who knows?

Jurassic World Dominion is the third movie in the Jurassic World franchise. Before World, we had Jurassic Park. It’s more than American. These flicks are a part of global popular culture. Whether you see it on the big or small screen, the film has fascinating characters who will live on in our imaginations.

Park Vs. World

Do you like Park or World better? Should we even compare them? Are they collectively the same franchise? Whichever way you see them, you must see them. In 2022, World will have superior
special effects, but what about the screenwriting and acting?
Because Jurassic Park and Jurassic World function as joint ventures, it’s challenging to answer the above questions. Jurassic World Dominion should be huge. Don’t be surprised if this one is the biggest in terms of profit and success. Here is the countdown.

Action movies Actor Bank Job Blitz Crank Entertainment Expendables Fast and Furious Hobbs and Shaw Hollywood Jason Statham Matt Damon Movie Star The Transporter Tom Cruise Top 5 Movie Stars Wild Card

Why Jason Statham Is a Top 5 Action Movie Star

Why Jason Statham Is a Top 5 Action Movie Star


I’ll prove to you why Jason Statham is a top 5 action movie star in this article. There are only a handful of action movie stars in the first place. You see it is challenging to make a living in Hollywood as an actor, let alone a movie star. Becoming an action movie star is more difficult than mountain climbing.
Like a mint condition coin, an action actor must stay in tip-top shape. Plus, you must be a good actor to keep your job. You can’t let your skills decline. To keep your shine, you must stay polished.

To be the best, you must strive for greatness. Just Being good isn’t enough. At 51, Jason Statham’s career speaks for itself.
He is internationally recognized as a top 5 action movie star. Plus, the star who was born in Great Britain, is one of the best actors of his generation. The celebrity is popular with approximately 53 million Facebook fans and counting.
What Jason Statham Means to Fast and Furious
Jason Statham joining the Fast and Furious franchise was a brilliant move, because few people can compete with this action movie star. He is on another level. It doesn’t make sense for Tom Cruise and Matt Damon to join Fast and Furious because they have their own franchises: Mission Impossible and the Bourne Identity, respectively. Clearly, Jason Statham has shown why he is in a class all by himself through his “actions.”
Moreover, Jason Statham means the world to Fast and Furious. The franchise can’t survive without his character. He is thriving in his new role. I expect Hobbs and Shaw to be a major success because of his tremendous talent level. Plus, the action actor gels with Dwayne“The Rock” Johnson.
Hobbs and Shaw should shatter box office records in 2019. Check Box Office Mojo for results.
Aren’t you excited about Idris Elba’s part in the movie too? Also, Vanessa Kirby will appear in the film. Kudos to the casting director. I’m looking forward to seeing Hobbs and Shaw. It is a must-see movie without a doubt.
More than Expendable
The Expendables star deserves his accolades as an action hero. He is wealthy with an estimated net worth of $70 million. Did you know Statham performs some of his stunts? If you had $70 million, would you stunt?
Do you remember when Sylvester Stallone added Arnold Schwarzenegger to the cast? Jason Statham was with him from the start. You can’t deny the star’s brilliance as an action actor, but he’s more than expendable.

I highly recommend the Crank series and the Transporter trilogy. If you watch those, I guarantee you will like his Facebook page. Check out Blitz, Wild Card, Redemption and the Bank Job.
Hollywood and the entertainment industry are huge, but the elite are a small bunch. You can name the top 5 action movie stars on one hand. Jason Statham is one of the top 5 Hollywood action actors because he is elite. He is the best at what he does. And he does it better than anybody else.

Great comedy can bring people together. Some standups don’t know how to relate to everyone. That’s why you see instant backlash and isolated people at shows.

It is important to win the crowd over and get them on your side. Not everyone can do this effectively. Greatness takes time, dedication, and practice. The best in showbiz don’t become famous overnight.

Russell Peters is one of the greats. He belongs in the best standup comedians conversation. You see Russell engages in risky behaviors and his audience loves him for that.

This comic will make fun of anybody. Hell, he’ll even make fun of himself. When you’re not afraid to tell jokes, you sell out crowds easier. Moreover, he tackles challenging subjects in a sarcastic manner.

Born in Toronto Canada, he qualifies as one of the funniest Canadians. Plus, his Indian background contributes a great deal to his material. You could compare him to Aziz Ansari but there is only one Russell Peters. Make no mistake, his style and delivery are unmistakeable.

Many of his jokes are unrepeatable, of course, because they are NSFW (Not Safe For Work). In other words, repeating his comedy at your job could get you fired. So, proceed with caution. Tread on thin ice if you don’t want to offend anybody.

Everyone must know the importance of timing in standup comedy. Russell Peters delivers like Amazon, right on time. Right now is Russell Peters time to shine. The celebrity is singing You Are My Sunshine on his way to the bank. He has a lot to be happy about.

The 46-year-old is one of the highest paid comedians according to Forbes. He makes $21 million per year. That’s almost as much as LeBron James’ take home pay. I highly recommend watching his Almost Famous standup special. And I look forward to seeing his future work.

Why Keira Knightley Is The Perfect Actress

Keira Knightley is one of my favorite actresses. I believe she is the best British entertainer right now. Moreover, her qualities as an actor are perfect. At 31, who has accomplished as much as this Hollywood star?

She poetically portrays characters on the silver screen. Also, nothing gets in the way of her delivering top notch results. Keira Knightley is known for superior performances. The Hollywood actress is laser focused in her films. You can easily see how her hard work pays dividends.

In my mind, Keira Knightley should sit next to Julia Roberts at the Academy Awards. Why don’t I arrange the Oscars seating charts with Keira Knightley’s Name between Roberts and mine?; that’s just a suggestion. Like Brie Larson, she’s one of the best actresses in showbiz. The red carpet was made for her footprints.

This phenomenal actress is one of the reasons I recommend Collateral Beauty. She helps bring the story to life as her character pulls off an amazing performance. I literally love Keira Knightley, who plays the abstract Love, in Collateral Beauty.

Additionally, she steals the spotlight from Benedict Cumberbatch in the Imitation Game. The wonderful thespian convinces the audience that her character, a cryptanalyst, helps save the world from destruction. Did you know that the movie is based on a true story?

As you can tell, Keira Knightley is everything you want in an actress. She has the look and style plus the talent minus the attitude. Sure, she seems a little sassy but that’s how we like it, right? When you make it to the top, you’re entitled to special privileges.

Knightley has earned significant star power by consistently shining throughout her illustrious career. She’s earned endorsements by commanding attention to her cause. Through constant repetition and memorization, Keira Knightley became one of the highest paid and most in-demand actresses of all time. As far as I’m concerned, Keira Knightley is the perfect actress.

I hope they give Priyanka a pay raise because she’s too good to lose. Moreover, the actor is the main reason we watch Quantico, right? Let’s face it, Chopra presents a hot body of work like Sofia VergaraTV viewers are treated to one of a kind good looks.

Still, if you go beyond her charming good looks, you’ll discover she’s extremely talented too. She’s already made a name for herself in Bollywood. Right now, she’s taking her turn on Hollywood Boulevard.

Who else can’t get enough of Priyanka Chopra? The Indian beauty is easy on the eyes. Additionally, she’s devoted to developing her gifts.
