Austin Butler Goes Classic for Oscars 2023 Red Carpet (& He Revealed His Plus One Already a Few Weeks Ago!)

Austin Butler has finally arrived at the 2023 Academy Awards on Sunday (March 12) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The 31-year-old actor is up for Best Actor for his work in Elvis. Austin is actually Just Jared‘s predicted winner in the Best Actor category, but of course, anything can happen!

On the red carpet, Austin met up with fellow nominee Bill Nighy, who is nominated for his work in Living.

If you don’t know, a couple of weeks ago, Austin revealed that his plus one for the Oscars is likely his agent, James. We don’t have any photos of Austin and James just yet, but fans have been wondering if Austin would be bringing his girlfriend Kaia Gerber.

“I’ve known him since I was 17 years old and he also happens to be my agent,” he said. “We were friends first, and I would not have my career without him. The amount of times that he’s helping me to decide on whether or not to do something or he’s pushed me to. He’s believed in me in moments where maybe I didn’t believe in myself…I think I’m gonna bring James because he’s been on this ride with me for a long time.”

Make sure to tune in TONIGHT at 8/7c on ABC. The Oscars will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, marking his third time as the emcee. The movie Everything Everywhere All at Once leads the pack this year with 11 nominations. Check out the full list of nominees here!

FYI: Austin is wearing Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.
