It may be seem cynical to contemplate but the history of the Academy Awards shows that Oscar wins sometimes follow tragedy.

This image released by NBC shows Austin Butler accepting the Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama award for “Elvis” during the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023, in Beverly Hills, Calif. Austin Butler may not want to think that his chances of winning a best actor Oscar for playing Elvis Presley could be boosted by the sudden Jan. 12 death of the rock ‘n’ roll legend’s only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.

More questionably, Elizabeth Taylor won her first Academy Award in 1961, for the critically maligned “Butterfield 8” — after she almost died of pneumonia. On the other hand, the deaths of James Dean and Chadwick Boseman didn’t lead to posthumous awards; pretty much everyone expected the “Black Panther” star to win in 2021 for his final performance in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”

With Butler, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences agreed he at least deserves a nomination for his performance in the biopic “Elvis.” On Tuesday, “Elvis” was nominated for eight total awards, including best actor and best picture., behind Brendan Fraser for “The Whale” and Colin Farrell for “The Banshees of Inisherin.” That placement could change.
