Eight was the lucky number for Australian hopes at this year's Academy Awards nominations, representing not only the tally of nods for Baz Luhrmann's 'Elvis' but also the amount of times Cate Blanchett has now been up for acting awards.
Baz Luhrmann's 'Elvis' is readying its blues suede shoes after being confirmed for this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Luhrmann's Elvis explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Austin Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks).
A host of Aussie actors have joined the main cast of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic, including Richard Roxburgh, Helen Thomson, David Wenham, and Dacre Montgomery.
