Man of the moment Austin Butler had a well-deserved celebration on Sunday night when he attended the Warner Bros. Pictures Post BAFTA Celebration at Kettner’s Townhouse.
The Oscar-nominated actor, 31, celebrated his BAFTA award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Elvis Presley.
The film’s director, Baz Luhrmann, joined him and put a kind arm around him as they enjoyed the party.
He cut a handsome figure in a black tuxedo and bow tie with a white shirt, while Baz complemented him in the same outfit.
Austin fought back tears as he paid tribute to the Presley family and accepted the honor on Sunday.
Incredible night: The man of the moment Austin Butler had a well-deserved celebration on Sunday night when he attended the Warner Bros. Pictures Post BAFTA Celebration at Kettner’s Townhouse in his portrayal of Elvis Presley Pals: He was joined by the film’s director, Baz Luhrmann and gently put an arm around him while they enjoyed the party
Austin thanked the entire crew and team he worked with on the film, admitting he was “just trying to capture everything.”
“It means the world to me,” he told the ceremony, still using the Elvis stretching tone he learned for the biopic.
He also paid tribute to the Presley family, who provided insight into Elvis’ life for the biopic, adding he “hopes he made them proud”.
Following his win, Austin also paid tribute to Lisa Marie Presley following her tragic death last month.
In the winning room, he said: “It was a really unimaginably tragic time, you know, and grief is a long process.
‘And so was my heart and love with [the Presley family] always. I am honored to have been accepted into the family. It’s a bittersweet time.”
Netflix’s German war epic All Quiet On The Western Front was the night’s big winner with a total of seven awards, including Best Picture, while The Banshees of Inisherin was a close second with five, including Best British Film and Best Supporting Actor or Actress.
The film, based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, tied with Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2001) as the highest-grossing BAFTA-nominated non-English film in history.
Directed by Edward Berger, Felix Kammerer, Albrecht Schuch, Daniel Brühl, Sebastian Hülk, Aaron Hilmer, Edin Hasanovic and Devid Striesow can be seen in the leading roles.
Cate Blanchett won Best Actress for her performance in the biopic Tar, the film’s only major win that night.
She tearfully accepted the gong as she thanked her mother and her director, Todd Field, adding that Blanchett also said 2022 was an “extraordinary year for women.”
She added that it broke down, that women’s experience was not “monolithic” and that her role as Lydia Tar was “a dangerous and potentially career-ending endeavor.”
Austin and Baz were joined by Elvis choreographer Polly Bennett, who looked adorable in an olive green strapless dress.
They left the party together and got into a waiting car to take her home after the 5am party.
Baz also hugged Elvis cinematographer Mandy Walker, who donned a strapless pink dress.
Also at the Warner Bros. afterparty was Christina Hendricks, who looked stunning in a black velvet dress.

Grateful: Austin thanked the entire crew and team he worked with on the film, admitting he was “just trying to take everything in”.

The biggest night in British cinema returned on Sunday night when actor Richard E Grant took the helm to present the 76th EE British Academy Film Awards.
Taking place at the Royal Festival Hall, Richard, 65, was joined by Alison Hammond to host the star-studded ceremony, while film critic Ali Plum walked the red carpet with Vick Hope.
During his opening monologue, Richard referenced Will Smith’s infamous slap in the face at last year’s Oscars, telling the audience that “no one gets slapped under my watch tonight.”
Smith stormed onto the stage during the 94th annual Academy Awards in March and punched presenter Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
The actor, who shortly thereafter won the coveted Academy Award for Best Actor, was later banned from all Academy events for the next 10 years and resigned from the organization.
In a speech at the Baftas, Grant said the only slaps received on Sunday were “on the back.”
“What a great year to host the Baftas,” he said.
“In 2022, cinema audiences were truly back and there has never been a better time to go to the movies.”
He added: “Well not now, I’m trying my best and nobody on my watch gets slapped tonight… except on the back.”

As the ceremony began, Carey Mulligan was incorrectly announced as the winner of the Supporting Actress Award after a translation error while deaf actor Troy Kotsur was presenting.
Oscar winner Kotsur made the announcement via sign language before a communication error resulted in Mulligan’s name being called out for her appearance in She Said.
The announcer quickly corrected the announcement and announced The Banshees Of Inisherin star Kerry Condon as the winner.
Barry Keoghan won supporting actor for The Banshees Of Inisherin, and the 30-year-old Irish actor said he “really should have planned that” before thanking his co-stars and Ireland.
