Austin Butler is having a very difficult time with Lisa Marie Presley‘s death. Lisa Marie passed away this month at the age of 54, just days after watching Austin win a Golden Globe for his portrayal of her father, Elvis Presley. Now, Austin has been nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Elvis.

After receiving the news that he was nominated, Austin said that it was bittersweet. He explained, “[This role] seemed as though it was this impossible mountain to climb in front of me. There were so many pitfalls and so I just was focusing on one step at a time. And really the thing for me was just honoring the life of this man and his family.”
