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?

Beautiful Elizabeth Olsen Is One of Hollywood’s Finest Actresses

Beautiful Elizabeth Olsen is one of Hollywood’s finest actresses

Why are you here reading this blog? Perhaps, you like celebrities, entertainment, and information all intertwined. Maybe, you can’t get enough of celebrity blogs and entertainment. I try to entertain you as well as inform you. Regardless, I appreciate you coming here. Thanks for reading and if you’re compelled to, please share my content. You can follow my Twitter handle @IamGuruJay too. 

Eureka! I found out why you’re here… for WandaVision, Dr. Strange, and the Avengers. Her most recent box office movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, broke all kinds of records. 

Super-fan of Superhero

So, I get it…you’re an Elizabeth Olsen super-fan and you want to find out what’s going on with the star who plays one of your favorite superheroes.

You’re so amazed by her performances as Scarlet Witch in WandaVision and Dr. Strange. Like Olsen herself, WandaVision is such a huge success. This is one of Disney +’s best productions. In nine episodes to date, the actress plays an incredible Wanda Maximoff on television. Fans like you can’t wait for more seasons. They’re asking Disney a fair question; what’s taking so long? Just be patient, Disney says. 

Also, did you know that the actress’s superhero character is connected to Jonathan Majors’ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? It appears they are both Nexus Beings in the MCU. This gives fans some substance to digest. Expect the Marvel terminology “Nexus Being” to trend sometime in the future. There are so many places to go with this.

Like Elle Fanning (Dakota Fanning), Elizabeth Olsen has a famous sister or two. Famous twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were on Full House in the 1990s. Who remembers the young actresses and their taglines? The younger sister, who’s not a twin, built a name for herself as well. And today, it’s her birthday. Let’s go on social media and wish her a happy birthday. I’m sure she’ll appreciate the kind thoughts and gestures.  

Also, today the trailer for Love & Death, an HBO Max Original was released.

https://youtu.be/AvVyz1k2B6M

This looks like something that will have people talking. Once again, HBO has generated controversy and we know that is what sells. From what I’ve researched, there are three episodes premiering on April 27. Then, the network will air three or four more episodes of the limited series one at a time weekly. 

Also, like Elle Fanning, Olsen has no problem being called great. She is great. Her greatness shows up on screen as one of Hollywood’s finest actresses. Why aren’t you streaming this actress yet if you haven’t already?

Finally, the beautiful actress is like another actress associated with Hulu (who I can’t get enough of) Hilary Duff. It seems like Hollywood’s full of so many talented acts. Does Disney have possession of all of them?

Outside of Marvel, the star has filmed a variety of productions. Have you seen her performance with Aubrey Plaza in Ingrid Goes West? 

I’ve wanted to write this article for a long time. I believe the beautiful Elizabeth Olsen is one of Hollywood’s finest actresses. If you follow my blog, you know I’m a superhero fan and I enjoy watching actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Olsen perform on screen. One day I could see myself on set as a screenwriter or consulting producer. That’s my dream. So, I’ll speak it into existence.

 “California’s calling my name.” Have you heard that song before? To be frank, Elizabeth Olsen’s a big name in Hollywood like Bella Thorne. She’s a celebrity who provides you premium entertainment. Whether on HBO Max, Disney +, Netflix or any other streaming platform, this celebrity is someone I’m watching for years to come.

Selena Gomez Is in the Building So Calm Down Now.

Selena Gomez Is in the Building So Calm Down Now.

Selena Gomez is in the building so calm down now. Stop worrying about the small stuff and take time for yourself to read a good blog. Maybe, even check out a very good one by some standards. I blog about the best of the best in entertainment. If you like celebrities, you came to the perfect place.

Let’s get the cat out of the bag. I am attracted to Selena Gomez. She’s my cup of tea. Now that I got that out the way, I’ll try to compose myself and write an entertaining and informative post.

Contrary to popular opinion, I know celebrities are people too. So, I won’t say she can do no wrong and fly spaceships. Like me, everybody makes mistakes sometimes. But there’s so much to admire about Selena Gomez. I’m older than the celebrity but I grew up understanding her rise to fame from the Disney days. Mostly, I appreciate her music and personality. 

I’ve listened to the My Mind & Me record, but I haven’t watched the Apple TV+ documentary. Her openness is a strength, not a weakness. The celebrity shows the soft and rough sides of her life and that deserves some respect. 

Also, I’m now more familiar with her TV work. No, not Barney & Friends. Although I did watch it as a child, I’m referring to none other than Only Murders in the Building. I will discuss this TV show in this space. In one word: brilliant. That’s the way I describe Only Murders in the Building.

Original Content

If you’re into mysteries, this show will get you going. I not only strive to create original content, but I also seek out original content. This Hulu original like another isn’t going anywhere anytime soon except straight to the top of streaming. 

Right now, the filming of season 3 is in progress and some big names have been added. Jesse Williams from Grey’s Anatomy and Meryl Streep will make appearances. How do I know? Well, I follow Selena Gomez on Twitter. Best decision in a while. 

Hulu has twenty episodes of the show available for streaming. There are two seasons so far at ten episodes apiece. There is Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez not only starring in the TV program but executive producing. There’s so much talent on the show, the rumor is they got audited last year. Okay, I made that up. But you get my drift. 

So exactly, what is OMITB all about? Three people bond over the same mystery podcast. Ultimately, it’s about a podcast stemming from another podcast. A podcast spinoff. Ha ha! Together, they try to solve only murders in their building. It’s quite creative. 

Currently, I’m watching season 1 and will be watching season 2 soon. But first, I must calm down because I’m so excited. Her new song with Rema called Calm Down is a hit. Have you seen the music video? The video premiered on September 7, 2022.

Social Media

According to YouTube data, the video is now number nine globally. With an international reach, the singer/ actress/ producer is only getting the ball rolling down the lane. And she’s not staying in the lane. She’s running the streets and making money moves. 

Lately, Selena Gomez is trending on Twitter and the Internet. Whoever is writing some of these (gossip) stories need to stop. It all seems manufactured. Society must do better. My goal is to stay positive no matter how negative it gets.

Selena Gomez is the best of the best in entertainment. Although she is not perfect, she’s in the perfect place…no, not in New York…in the building.

2023 Grammys Recap: A Big Night for Music Stars and Fans

2023 Grammys Recap

Last night at the 2023 Grammys, the stars came to shine. Everyone seemed to have had a great time. The arena was full of greatness. There was so much star power in attendance, the celebrities themselves were starstruck. Were the performances amazing and what about the speeches? 

In case you missed it or want to relive it, let’s recap the 2023 Grammys. Like last year, South African comedian Trevor Noah hosted the shindig. To begin, we had Bad Bunny hop on stage singing in Spanish. Literally, the rapper brought Puerto Rico to the Crypto.com arena. Later, at the end of the night, DJ Khaled brought rap to the Los Angeles streets with a performance of the hit record God Did. 

Lively Pre-Parties and Amazing Performances

But before all of this happened, there were week-long pre-Grammy parties and Saturday night festivities. It was a lot leading up to the moment. Photographers captured celebrities dressed in their finest attire. Best New Artist Nominee Anitta was trending on Twitter. Search “Anitta” in Google and YouTube and see why the Brazilian star should have won Best New Artist.

Harry Styles received the first award for Best Pop Vocal album. And he received the last award for Best Album. Beyoncé earned the second award for Best R&B Song. Later, she earned her fourth Grammy of the night. In total, this makes her (with 32) the most awarded music artist in the Grammys history. 

Before we continue, let’s define some things. What is a Grammy? What does it mean to be nominated and win? Without a doubt, a Grammy is the most prestigious award in music. It means the world for a musician to be nominated and the universe to win.

Now let’s look at what music is. What makes a hit record? It’s about making a connection to the soul. The 2023 Grammys were soulful. Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and Chris Stapleton harmonized a sound that rocked the building. Did you know you could create your own new genre of music on live television? In such a divisive time, the world needed a performance of unity like that. 

Let’s discuss The Hip-Hop Turns 50 Tribute. For about ten minutes, Hip-Hop was center stage. LL Cool J, Run D.M.C., Method Man, and an assortment of high profile names presented their spin on things during the tribute. Before all this, The Recording Academy honored Dr. Dre for his global impact. It was an incredible moment for Hip-Hop.

Also, there were a lot of jokes thanks to Trevor Noah. He wasn’t able to introduce Dwayne Johnson to Adele, but he brought along The Rock, LOL. Also, his punchline about Lizzo performing About Damn Time at Bad Bitch O’clock humored me. Lastly, a South African comedian trying to get on Harry Styles tour gave me a chuckle when he said I’m okay.

All jokes aside, the night could not have been any better. It was highly entertaining and worth watching. As expected, there were some amazing performances. I want to know your favorites. As always, you’re welcome to follow me on Twitter @IamGuruJay and Instagram @TheGuruJay.

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?

If you like movies, music, television, celebrities, and all things entertainment, you have discovered the right place. Follow me @IamGuruJay on Twitter and @TheGuruJay on Instagram for more content. Until next time, enjoy the moment. Thanks!

Elle Fanning Is One of Hollywood’s Hottest Under 25

Elle Fanning Is One of Hollywood’s Hottest Under 25 and Beyond Fine

I love writing about actors, especially Hollywood’s hottest actresses. Elle Fanning is beyond fine. Have you ever seen a star shine as bright as Elle? She has an entire magazine named after her after all. Seriously, her name is huge in Twitter Circles and on Instagram. Right now, you can follow her on Instagram along with 6 million other accounts. Where do I start handing out the accolades? Everything you can imagine Fanning can do on the silver screen. She is the 24-karat gold Bruno Mars sings about…that white gold Michelle Pfeiffer/ Uptown Funk. 

Will we ever see another star quite like Elle Fanning again? At 24 years old, she’s already accomplished what 50-year-old actresses have in Hollywood. It’s incredible how this celebrity entertains a wide audience. Like Jennifer Lawrence, everyone can enjoy Fanning’s filmography. From film to TV and now video games, the actor is presenting her talents everywhere. Yes, check out Newsweek for more on the video game development (Death Stranding 2) featuring the Hollywood star. 

I’m looking forward to every work she’s in because I feel she’s fun and pleasant. Plus, she is equipped with a plethora of skills. With her range and my originality, we can take over the world. All I’m saying is that these past few years have been enjoyable and entertaining thanks in large part to Fanning. 

Does she have Tinseltown’s best smile or what? I’ve followed this celebrity for years, and she’s turned my frown upside down on more than one occasion. There is not a bad script she has yet to memorize. All Fanning needs now is her own superhero movie franchise like Scarlett Johansson, and we’ll start having a discussion on her excellence. This could transform my blog. 

Born in Conyers, Georgia, Elle Fanning is a star like no other. I think you might like her performance in Mary Shelley. There is something about this young lady. In the future, they’ll say she was a classic actress. Will she become the Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts we know she can become? What a time to be alive! We can reflect on and imagine simultaneously whatever we want to. Currently, my attention is on the shining star who I believe is highly gifted and talented. Also, she is a gorgeous beauty who is Hollywood’s crème de la crème. It’s easy to see how she could be Hollywood’s Hottest 25 under 25 and 30 under 30.

Please tell me you’ve seen Hulu’s The Great and The Girl from Plainville. If you haven’t seen them, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. Sometimes I compare celebrities: highlighting differences and similarities. Today, I would compare her with Elizabeth Olsen. Both actors are at the top of their craft on film and television. And both have a big past, present, and future in the entertainment industry. Are you excited as I am about Elle Fanning’s works in progress? Isn’t she a breath of fresh air?

Actress Avatar Ballerinas Celebrity Celebrity Blog Chris Pratt Colombiana dancing Entertainment Guardians of the Galaxy Guru Jay Halle Berry Hollywood Stars Latina Movies Petite Star Trek Zoe Saldana

Beholding Zoe Saldana’s Flexibility

BY: GURU JAY


What is Zoe Saldana’s secret? How does the actress maneuver her way inside Hollywood’s most critically acclaimed blockbusters? Why was she chosen to play important roles in Star Trek, Avatar, and Guardians of the Galaxy?
Do you remember Colombiana? I saw it on demand with my family one Christmas Eve. There’s something special about her presentation.
She is perfect at showing you a character’s flaws. The petite celebrity doesn’t spread herself too thin. I want to see her gain weight for a role like a female Christian Bale and Chris Pratt. The question is will Saldana be able to shed the extra fat.
Throughout Zoe Saldana’s career, the Hollywood star has shined. That’s why her movies receive glowing reviews. Right now, her movie Premiummaintains 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

The dedicated actress aims to please. Producers, directors, actors, and fans expect dutiful performances and excellence from Zoe. How many times does she over deliver results?

She is my favorite science fiction/ fantasy actress. I fully support Saldana replacing Halle Berry as Storm in X-Men. Can you picture Zoe and Jennifer Lawrence sharing a screen?
The photogenic Latina works well with powerful egos and nicely for demanding bosses. She is a popular choice because she’s likable. It seems you can approach the accommodating actress without being body slammed.
However, I discourage stalking celebs even reality TV stars. I don’t care if you’re Paparazzi. Imagine walking in their shoes.
I’m fond of Zoe’s filmography. I’ve seen several of her movies on more than one occasion. Recently, I learned she was a highly trained dancer. In fact, she was a fine ballerina before her acting career.

I have a theory that Zoe Saldana’s ballerina training helps explain her flexibility as a thespian. Undergoing rigorous choreography requires discipline. Saldana’s step sequences literally and figuratively taught her how to be flexible. It is wonderful beholding Zoe Saldana.
