Angela Bassett says that she 'understood intimately what [Austin Butler] felt' in the moments just before Oscars announcers revealed the Best Actor winner.
"The first time I met Austin Butler, we were both starting to find our grooves in what promised to be a busy awards season," Bassett wrote of her friendship with Butler. "We connected in a fleeting moment, one of many when we would share a hug and warm words. Despite all that swirled around him, Austin opened his heart to new friends. I was fortunate to be one of them."
"A lot goes into an actor’s finding their way into an icon, not pretending to be them but offering a perspective on the artist as we perform slices of their story," she added of his performance as Elvis Presley."You walk away from that set forever changed. Your hope is that when people see the film, they don’t see you—they see an artist’s journey through a different lens. Austin accomplished this with a brilliantly nuanced performance.
"Although his name wasn’t called, Austin is no less a winner," Bassett concluded. "The time had come for Austin to say goodbye toas he began to embrace an infinite universe of possibilities as an actor. I can’t wait to see what he brings us next."
