January 07 - No Golden Globe

Cailee Spaeny did not win a Golden Globe in the category 'Best actress - Drama' for her portrayal of 'Priscilla' in the movie with the same title. The award was won by Lily Gladstone for her role in 'Killers of the Flower Moon'. 

The 'Priscilla movie opened in theaters outside the United States earlier this month.

Last year Austin Butler took home the award for 'Best Actor - Drama' for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's 'ELVIS' movie. That was also the last public event in which we saw Lisa Marie Presley.

Riley Keough was nominated in the category 'Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television' for her role in 'Daisy Jones & the Six', but lost to Ali Wong for her performance in 'Beef'. The series had two additional nominations, but lost those to the 'Beef' series too.

The Story of Elvis

Fox Chapel Publishing announced the June 30, 2024 re-issue of the 128-page paperback 'The Story of Elvis: The Rise and Fall of the Undisputed King of Rock 'n' Roll' by Joel McIver.

Description: Take an intimate and fascinating look into the life of Elvis Aaron Presley, the undisputed King of Rock ‘n’ Roll! Learn what his life was like growing up in poverty in Tupelo, MS, about his childhood as told by his father, Vernon, his rise to fame in the music world by his mid-twenties when the world lay at his feet, his military career, and sizable film career, and the pressures that led to his self-destructive behavior and early death. 

You’ll also learn all the ups and downs in Elvis’s life including intimate details about his relationship with his parents, his wife, Pricilla, the Memphis Mafia, and array of girlfriends with photos to match. Many of the photos were originally seen in LIFE magazine, but there are private family photos as well. 

Also included are fascinating explanations of Elvis’s state of mind while recording each album, behind-the-scene photos, the track list, how each album was received by fans and critics, and the effect it had on his career.

Note: this paperback looks similar to the single-issue magazine released in 2022.
