At the Golden Globe Awards red carpet, Lisa Marie spoke about Austin and his performance in Elvis. She said, “There (are) no words to describe it. It’s just so important, that movie, on so many levels, and I’m so proud of him and Baz. I don’t know how to describe them, but…all of his mannerisms. He absolutely nailed it.”
