Elvis director bazluhrmann admits award season has become a 'roller coaster' since the death of LisaMariePresley
“I’ve made films and they’ve all had extraordinary journeys. Nothing comes close to the ‘Elvis journey,” Luhrmann shared. “Forget the discovery of, forget the pandemic, forget even the recent unimaginable sadness that everyone in the film has gone through with the loss of Lisa Marie, and then you have a high of the nominations for the Oscars and then the Grammys and we’re up for Best Soundtrack and all of that.
“However I’m doing, it’s of no comparison to how the family is,” he added. “What is so extraordinary is through the film, we all became so close and so embraced. Every day, I think about the rest of the family and about how they are doing and yet, we have to march on. We have the Grammys, we have the Oscars and so it’s like a roller coaster of emotions. It really is.”
The “Elvis” soundtrack is nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media at Sunday’s Grammys, and Luhrmann said he would be there with Doja Cat — who remixed “Hound Dog” on her Elvis tribute track, “Vegas” — but he was unsure if Butler would be in attendance., however, as “Elvis” is up for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor.
“What we did well, the one thing that Lisa Marie was so happy about, was that her father was somewhat put back through the film in the right place in the hearts of people around the world and a whole new audience,” he reflected. “So that’s maybe one thing that is in the right place.”
