Elton John Bernie Taupin Best Song Oscar win: 'This doesn't suck' Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin scored the huge success for Best Original Song at the 2020 Oscars Sunday at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood
Taupin, 69, acknowledged the honor for "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again," from the biopic "Rocketman," with a dull "Well, this doesn't suck."
He proceeded to express gratitude toward John, 72, his long-term melodic accomplice, and their life partners — David Furnish and Heather Taupin — before adulating Paramount Pictures for being "top of the line as far as possible."
At the point when the genuine "Rocketman" took the mic, John stated, "Thank you, Bernie, for being the most steady thing in my life, when I was spoiled [and] when I was typical."

The associates won their first honor in quite a while of coordinated effort with the tune at the Golden Globes in January.
"It's the first occasion when I've at any point won an honor with him," John said at the Globes. "We always lost a Grammy, we got nothing together."
While this is Taupin's first Academy Award win, John won his first Oscar in 1995 for Best Original Song for "Would you be able to Feel the Love Tonight" from 1994's "The Lion King," which he imparted to Tim Rice.
John and Taupin beat out individual chosen people "Toy Story 4" ("I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away"), "Achievement" ("I'm Standing With You"), "Solidified 2" ("Into the Unknown") and "Harriet" ("Stand Up") for the Oscar statue.

Elton John Wins His Second Academy Award For 'Rocketman' Song '(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again'
"(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" from the film Rocketman has recently won the Best Original Song Academy Award.
The tune was composed and formed by Elton John and his long-term partner Bernie Taupin, who has written incalculable hits for and with the piano player consistently, including "Your Song," "Bennie and the Jets," "Small Dancer," "Crocodile Rock," "Light in the Wind" and, suitably, "Rocket Man."
This is John's subsequent Oscar win out of four profession designations. He gathered this trophy in 1995 for the track "Would you be able to Feel the Love Tonight" from The Lion King, and he imparted the prize to Tim Rice who wrote the verses. He was named against himself that year with two different cuts, "Hakuna Matata" and "Hover of Life," making him one of just a generally little gathering of craftsmen who have earned more than one gesture in a similar class around the same time at the Academy Awards.
John adds to his trophy rack, which presently incorporates two Oscars, five Grammys and a Tony. Taupin is a first-time champion, and this is his first significant respect in the amusement world.
"(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" won the Golden Globe in the Best Original Song vertical prior this year, rapidly building up itself as the leader in a similar gathering at the Academy Awards.
Rocketman was selected for one Oscar, fairly shockingly. Many anticipated the star of the film, Taron Egerton, who performs "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again," to be up for Best Actor, however he was closed out. That came as an enormous stun, as he guaranteed the Golden Globe for his depiction of John.
John and Taupin's work prevails over the accompanying four candidates:
"Into The Unknown" from Frozen II - Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, chosen people
"Stand Up" from Harriet - Joshuah Brian Campbell and Cynthia Erivo, chosen people
"I'm Standing With You" from Breakthrough - Diane Warren, chosen one
"I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away" - Randy Newman, chosen one
