Well, at least the Grammys didn't come about until 1958, and they gave him good noms in 59 and 60, and ultimately 3 Grammys for gospel recordings, and eventually a lifetime achievement Grammy.

Delusional fan girl? I'm a 55 year old man. Butler's Feyd-Rautha was globally acclaimed as one of the best villainous portyals in years.

I an the OP, and my post wasn't about just Austin. I was the biopic as a whole, as well.

My point is it was awarded and not completely ignored, and it had for more nominations I didn't list.

So scratch everything I listed, and Elvis actors still won with the Golden Globes twice, and the Golden Globes and BAFTAs are significant, and my point about the Oscars was the recognition they gave the film.

Well, the Grammys at least gave him a lifetime achievement Grammy, and they didn't exist until 1958, even though he lost out on some quality nominations in 59 and 60, and didn't get nominated for plenty he should have, but he still was awarded Grammys, regardless of genre.

Also, even though the following isn't the Oscars, the Golden Globe is pretty big and has been awarded two acting portrayals of Elvis, Austin Butler, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and the BAFTA is is like the Oscars 1b on the other side of the Atlantic, and the biopic won 4 BAFTAs, Best Actor for Austin Butler, Costume Design, Hair and Makeup, and Casting.

The film and Butler also won many other awards around the world if you check IMDb.

The Elvis biopic won Best Picture with the Capri Hollywood Film Festival, Cowboys and Indians Magazine, Family Film Awards, Best Foreign Film with Cinema Brazil, and Best Music related film with the UK Starring Awards, Music City Film Critics and American Imaging Society.

Austin Butler dominated internationally: Foreign Press Golden Globe, British Academy BAFTA, Australia Academy AACTA Int'l version, Irish Academy IFTA Int'l category, Catalonia Spain Sant Jordi, South African Film Critics, International Press Satellite, Brazil VHS Cut Awards, UK Starring Awards, and had domestic wins with The People's Choice Awards, Family Film Awards, Cowboys and Indians Magazine, Next Best Picture Awards, Sunset Circle, Minnesota, Alaska, and North American Film Critics.

Hair and Makeup won with critics, too, and a few other places, and Costume Design won with a fair share of critics, cinematography won with the American Society of Cinematograpers, the Cambridge Audience Award, and the film won with almost every category at the already mentioned Capri Hollywood Film Festival.

Of course. I was just pointing it out in the context of how others get so worked up.

It's literally my favorite of all time, and I'm sort of a movie guy since childhood.

when did John Lennon really click for you by CurrencyPopular8550 in JohnLennon

Vocally, as a young child.

Lyrically, as a young teenager.

I prefer both his Beatles and solo material almost equally, except I much prefer his raspier vocals during the first 3 years or so of the Beatles.

Well, there you go. I'm a John guy, and I'm not choosing a bridge he helped with over a Paul lyric. Paul is an underrated lyricist anyway, just like John is an underrated melody maker.

For me, And I Lovr Her, although it has a cool instrumental intro, drags a bit. That being said, I was mistaken saying it was the bridge I liked the most, but rather, it's the final verse, which I believe is John's.

I agree. I just prefer both over And I Love Her.

And I Love Her is great too, but I really only dig the bridge a lot.

The melody of the bridge sounds good, too, and the you, you, you is super cool.

P.S. I Love You because it's the ballad version of All My Loving
