god i so dont care about this austin fella, elvis sucks. if they wanted to award a musician biopic so bad they should have acquired taste and nominated taron edgerton for all the awards for rocketman. but as always they flopped so they didnt. colin deserves it, sucks he will lose it.

I saw a tweet that said Taron would have been nominated if Elton was dead lmao at first I laughed but then I was like now hold on…that does sound like academy voters

That's weird cause Sissy Spacek won for her portrayal of Loretta Lynn while she was still alive.

Estelle Parson as Blanche Barrow for Bonnie and Clyde (she shouldn't have won though)

Julia Roberts as Erin Brokovich.

Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee in All the President's Men.

All these people were alive when the actors won the Oscar!

I think that person was specifically referring to music biopics, though, so only your first example would apply.

I was going to suggest Reese Witherspoon for June Carter Cash/Walk the Line but I checked and June died in 2003 while Reese won in 2006.

I think this is probably true. Much easier to idealize someone who is no longer around to remind everyone of their messiness. I mean, Elton is a great artist but he’s shown his ass a lot, even during promotion of Rocketman.

There may be a better example but I’m thinking of when Margot Robbie was promoting I, Tonya and was bringing Tonya Harding everywhere and everyone was like “no, wait, she's an asshole”.

Also, kind of morbid, but I think Lisa Marie passing so suddenly is lending to the Elvis momentum.

Elvis being a bad person doesn't negate Austin's performance. The award is based on the performance not the character.

I'd still prefer Colin.
