Not a bad way to cure the post Golden Globes blues for the big guy, who missed out on the best male actor gong, which went to Philip Seymour Hoffman.
"It was a pretty big mission for him to do the show given he'd just flown in from LA, but having Elvis there perked him up considerably," Vanguard booker John Cass told Confidential. Post-show, the unlikely duo headed up to the band room where they hung out sinking beers until about 2am.
