Sunrise reporter Sonia Kruger’s shocking theory about why Elvis didn’t win ANY of its eight Oscar nominations
Sunrise’s Sonia Kruger revealed her theory as to why Baz Luhrmann‘s critically acclaimed Elvis biopic didn’t win any Oscars despite receiving eight nominations.
The veteran presenter, 57, told Sea FM’s Bianca, Ben and Lakey on Tuesday that she believes the movie was snubbed because it was made by Australians telling an American story.
‘I think it’s because maybe the Academy sees Elvis as being an American story and they wanted an American production company to do it,’ she said.
‘No one’s ever said that to me, but I wonder,’ she added.
Baz Luhrmann’s celebrated biopic about Elvis Presley was nominated in eight different categories, including Best Picture and Best Actor, but won none.
