I saw in Rocket Man, Elton’s grandmother was a very sweet woman who was the only one in his family who encouraged Elton to pursue music. She stood by Elton John no matter what
It isn't first time when animated future has 3 nominations in "The best original song".For example in 1992nd year were nominated 3 song from "Beauty and the Beast";It is "Be our guest","Belle" and winner "Beauty and the Beast".Or in 1993rd were nominated 2 song from "Aladdin";It is "Friend like me" and winner "A whole new world".
FUN FACT: DISNEY was to remove this song from "The Lion King" animated feature film. Elton said, "Every Disney movie has a Love Song in it." DISNEY quickly placed the song back within the film. TRUE.
Yes, Circle of Life is an ode to life and nature, Can you feel the love tonight is a good song but it's just a love song and the lyric is not as meaningful as Circle.
Sean Horace I'm gonna tell you why circle of life didn't win. It's called WHITE PRIVILEGE!! Circle of life won that by LANDSLIDE!!! But WHITE PRIVILEGE reigns supreme. Hell if black privilege was dominant, I'd have all the black songs winning too regardless of how good it was.
Sean Horace me too but after hearing can you feel the love tonight is better than circle of life especially Elton John cover of can you feel the love tonight but circle of life and h.m. are great but can you feel the love tonight is better
It only shows how a great artist Elton is. 5 nominated songs and 3 of them are written by Elton. He is just a genious and i hope he'll be in our minds forever.
Can’t believe elton’s grandmother died a week before this took place. It was sweet of him to dedicate the award to her. Even his parents who, according to rocketman, were not very good parents to him.
Let's face it, NOT thanking your parents in an occasion like this, with them present, would have been very awkward. This is the US after all. Doesn't mean he didn't have a painful childhood.
This is a Disney song that has rightfully earned its Oscar that year. It’s timeless and can basically transcend the test of time. Elton John and Tim Rice made such an amazing piece that it always reignites my childhood whenever I hear it.
I love you mr. Elton john! I never knew how great his songs were until I saw his clip on TV called "Word In Spanish" two years ago. Now I'm 23 and I can say only one thing knowing and having absolutely all his songs, is that - Elton John is genious!
@@JohnCranberry23 well, they stayed together in business for a long time. maybe things got better after they both got sober and weren't dating anymore. and by parents he means his mother and step dad (who was a good guy from all accounts)
@@benignofernandez5450 probablemente en mejor canción original por ''Im gonna love me again"... Él junto a Bernie Turpin.... Y lo mejor es que canta Elton y Taron!!!!
I LOVE YOU SIR ELTON HERCULES JOHN! I was lucky enough to see him when he performed at dodgers stadium in 1975 ... he played for 6 hours! He is an amazing artist
Can’t imagine anyone else wining this award although it’s been so long since I have watched this movie in the classroom only watching 20min at a time looking back what a wonderful peace it is surpassing all boundaries sharing with the world
The oscar was deserved and well done Elton and Tim but personally I preferred " I Just Can't Wait to Be King" Why wasn't that nominated !? They had 3 in there already. Might as well !
Elton John is the best, he received a gift and still performs very well I do not speak English, did the best he could! sorry if I made any mistake! D; Elton John I love you! ♥
Elton John Who Sings "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" And Tim Rice Who Do the Lyricist For Two Years After "Aladdin" with Alan Menken And Six Years Before "The Road to El Dorado" With Elton John & Tim Rice
@webeffect Zimmer did use bits of the songs in the score, there's the chorus of Can You Feel The Love Tonight when Zazu talks to Simba and Nala about getting married, then the start of I Just Can't Wait To Be King when Simba disagrees. Later, there's the Be Prepared outro as the hyenas turn on Scar, and a choral version of Circle of Life at the end. He didn't use more probably because the songs' upbeat melodies were at odds with the sad/bleak scenes that make up a lot of the movie.
hans zimmer made, in my opinion, the best disney score (no offense to alan menken and his gorgeous scores for the hunchback of notre dame and beauty and the beast). kudos to tim rice for recognizing him
I love how Elton dedicates the oscar to his grandmother, it's sweet and a very nice tribute to her.
Wow
Yeah he would not be a great musician because of her
His grandmother Ivy gave Elton confidence to be who he is today.
I saw in Rocket Man, Elton’s grandmother was a very sweet woman who was the only one in his family who encouraged Elton to pursue music. She stood by Elton John no matter what
Surprised he thanked his parents who were so awful to him
3 Lion King Nominations. Wow.
*I ADORE ELTON!!! LONG LIVE MY LORD AND SAVIOR!!!!!*

Three songs by Elton. Makes sense 😍
Imagine he would have lost more than twice
history in the making!
I would switch out Hakuna Matata with Be Prepared. I don’t hate Hakuna Matata, but Be Prepared is just better.
I feel they got Sylvester Stallone solely to make him say "Hakuna Matata."
Hahahahaha omg. That's funny as hell. He's presented a bunch of Oscars in the past
FUN FACT: DISNEY was to remove this song from "The Lion King" animated feature film. Elton said, "Every Disney movie has a Love Song in it." DISNEY quickly placed the song back within the film. TRUE.
I was glad The Lion King won that song. But I bet many of us thought the Circle of Life was gonna win the Oscar.
Yes, Circle of Life is an ode to life and nature, Can you feel the love tonight is a good song but it's just a love song and the lyric is not as meaningful as Circle.
true
very true
but can you feel the love tonight is a good song
circle of life is a great song

Sean Horace The Circle of Life should have won. Period. That song has so many levels!
It only shows how a great artist Elton is. 5 nominated songs and 3 of them are written by Elton. He is just a genious and i hope he'll be in our minds forever.
The music was the heart and soul of The Lion King.
Elton's almost crying. I love him so much. He's just the best!
Honestly, Elton's soo sweet, look at his shy smile walking up to the stage! So glad he went to rehab ❤️

omg 3 nominations for a movie that year😲 how iconic it is
The last time it happened was Enchanted
Barbie would've probably gotten 3 this year if the Academy hadn't updated their rules to have a 2 song per film maximum
Lion King was the 1st movie I ever saw in a theater . It is my favorite movie of all time
Mine too! And I love the remake
I giggled so much watching Sylvester Stallone talking
Yo, Adrian!
It's so rude.
This is a Disney song that has rightfully earned its Oscar that year. It’s timeless and can basically transcend the test of time. Elton John and Tim Rice made such an amazing piece that it always reignites my childhood whenever I hear it.
I replayed him saying "Hakuna Matata" about 15 times
Lucy Webb It means no worries
@@rebecca8525 for the rest of your day
@@Robin-rj8tn It's our problem free philosophy
@@Chibiusa-P Hakuna Matata.
God, how grateful and kind Elton. Just an icon, thank you to this world for such people.
the king of the children movies...
+phoenix1925 animated movies not children movies
^ Actually, 2D to be precise.
That it was...that it was...
The King of animated movies and Disney movies too!
Ironically Rocketman is not for kids
Thanks for the beautiful songs Elton John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊🎶😊🎶😊🎶😊🎶🎶😊🎶😊🎶😊🎶🎶😊😊🏆🏆🏆🏆
elton is such a sweetheart 😊
Sorry for your loss Elton 🙏🏾❤️

After watching "Rocketman" I got teary eyed when he thanked his grandmother
rocketman brought me here
Same!
Interesting to hear him thank John Reed. Considering the relationship depicted in Rocketman. And Elton's parent were there to.
@@JohnCranberry23 well, they stayed together in business for a long time. maybe things got better after they both got sober and weren't dating anymore. and by parents he means his mother and step dad (who was a good guy from all accounts)
MrGabeanator Just watched it! Amazing film
oscar 2020 brought me here
And a quarter of a century later, Elton won another Oscar, this time for a movie about himself
Beautiful speech by Elton John.
I believe this the first time Elton and David stepped out together in a setting like this.
LAtvFan meaning what
+LAtvFan really
You don't watch tv that much I suppose
And they had to still keep their affection at bay...couldn't even "feel the love" that night
It was the end credits version that bagged Tim and Elton the Oscar 😉
Elton you're going to win again in 25 years.
Elton John from 1995: “Great Scott!” 😮
after rocketman, i got emotional about his grandma
me too!!
Same!!!
Happy 75th birthday Elton John ❣🔝
I think Elton John and Tim Rice are the only songwriters to both win and lose an Oscar to themselves
The Lion King forever the best song
The Lion King won all the Oscars it was nominated for!
lion king is beautifully animated and the songs by elton john and tim rice we're remarkable! elton and time deserved the oscars for best song!
Vengo del futuro para decirles que Elton John se volverá a ganar el Oscar en el 2020
en que categoria?.....va aestar nominada en muchas!!!
Mejor actor tal vez, guión, fotografía
Pero sobre todo
Ya tiene ganada mejor vestuario
@@benignofernandez5450 probablemente en mejor canción original por ''Im gonna love me again"... Él junto a Bernie Turpin.... Y lo mejor es que canta Elton y Taron!!!!
Orale si fue cierto jajaja
Lo acaba de ganar!!
I always preferred Elton’s end credits version then the movie version! Happy 25th anniversary to the Lion King
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
So well deserved!
And now, he's still making great music and contributing his best to the music world. He's a gift of God to our world
I loved Elton’s Merry Christmas duet with Ed Sheeran
@@manuelorozco7760 that's a lovely Christmas song
@@dsama7522 I know right. Especially with the song’s message of hope for post pandemic Christmases to come
They should have shown him recording this in Rocketman
I LOVE YOU SIR ELTON HERCULES JOHN! I was lucky enough to see him when he performed at dodgers stadium in 1975 ... he played for 6 hours! He is an amazing artist
Beautiful song 💝best memories
It is a pity there was no Academy Award for Best Animated Feature back then. 3 "Oscars" for this iconic movie would be really nice.
Not only that an incredible artist won!!! But also another legend like Stallone presented the award!
Whenever i see sylvester stallone i remember Jim carry impression and see his mouth whether it going to a side. Lol.
Circle of life should have won... its such a soul stirring song... either way elton & tim only wudda won for it so many congrats 😀
Elton John is awesome and Lion King is epic! :) My all time favorite Disney movies.
Same I still love it till today and it will forever be my favourite Disney animated movie no matter how many other animated movies come out
Lion king well Deserved
He thanked John Reid! And in the film Rocketman, it seemed like John Reid was the last person Elton would thank....
totally deserved. Elton John makes great music
I love Elton John!
Mais que Merecido! Congratulations Sir Elton John!
Can’t imagine anyone else wining this award although it’s been so long since I have watched this movie in the classroom only watching 20min at a time looking back what a wonderful peace it is surpassing all boundaries sharing with the world
The oscar was deserved and well done Elton and Tim but personally I preferred " I Just Can't Wait to Be King" Why wasn't that nominated !? They had 3 in there already. Might as well !
Can You Feel the Love Tonight was better song than other songs.
Imagine if Taron Egerton wins Best Actor for playing Elton John.
I definitely see him getting nominated
@Minecraft Magic 28 or its never too late
MrGabeanator Me too
@@manuelorozco7760 thanks man
MrGabeanator Your welcome
The Lion King forever
This is 1995 so David is not even giving Elton a hug. So sad but amazing how far we've gone as a society - they now have kids!
Think about countries killing for homosexuality
@@ПавелЗлатоуст I think how and what we choose to think is what makes us the person we are. That's all I will say in response to that.
Hard to believe that they had only known one another for about 17 months when this was filmed ....
EGOT Winner Tim Rice and Elton John is only missing an Emmy and then he has it
Now Elton John has won the EGOT. So EGOT Winners Elton John and Tim Rice.
when he said john reid you could see the pain in his eyes
EGOT Winners Elton John and Tim Rice
It's hard to believe that as recently as 1995, people born in the 40's were still kind of youngish.
Elton John is the best, he received a gift and still performs very well
I do not speak English, did the best he could!
sorry if I made any mistake! D;
Elton John I love you! ♥
I can't wait to see Elton John live in December in Melbourne, Australia.
"I'm happy to be here to honor these composers and lyricists who have been singled-out for re-commission this year."
I think that's what he said :)
*"Rocketman" Best costume design 2020*
Circle of Life should've won but I'm happy for Can You Feel the Love Tonight
The 1995 oscars & the oscars from the 90’s looks it came out today
Can you imagine Bernie Taupin there with him and the Oscar?, awww. Love them. David was so handsome!
Maybe in the Rocketman movie timeline he would be
Elton John
Who Sings
"Can You Feel the Love Tonight" And
Tim Rice
Who Do the Lyricist For Two Years After "Aladdin" with
Alan Menken
And Six Years Before
"The Road to El Dorado"
With Elton John & Tim Rice
Who's here after Elton John's Golden Globe win of 2020?
1:39 I guess he means his step dad, his father died in 1991.
Denis Compton gets a mention at the Oscars. Wonderful
Can we just take a moment and point out that , Junior is an academy nomnited film
Dang the only song from the lion king that didn't get nominated is I just can't wait to be king
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
The song circle of life is so epic and very wonderfull.
I didn't know that Sir Elton John had an Oscar until just recently.
I didnt even know he co wrote the Lion King songs...
The best movie ever! #TheLionKing 🦁❤️
12 dislikes?? What's not too like?? If you get 3 Oscar nominations in the same category... you did something right! :-D
"Circle of Lfe" was the best song.
disney has all the best songs....... tarzan, mulan, lion king, toy story, pocahontas, mermaid, and many more best theme songs in oscar awards.
His face at 0:56 tho!! Kills me!!
It’s real cool seeing Sly present this award!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Elton and Tim build up a BIG ROAR for The Oscars
The LIon King was the first movie I ever watched along with Toy Story 1 on the same day these 2 are my only favorite Disney films
Disney movies always have the greatest songs.....
The circle of life must of came in a very close 2nd
yep
Oscars shit the bet at least.
Congratulations sir Elton John and Tim race
Though it would be forever awkward for me to watch that two lions making out in the movie, Can you feel the love tonight is truly a masterpiece. LOL
Which is why I prefer the end credits version
This song is a misterpiece
elton and his hubby were still afraid to kiss back then :s
quillber They weren’t husbands yet, because same-sex marriage still wasn’t legal.
Disney makes the best movie songs and their secret weapons are great people like the Sherman Brothers, Randy Newman, Alan Menken, Elton John, etc.
yep full circle
All I heard was "The Lion King...Elton John...Tim Rice" :)

Lion King owns. Literally. 3/5 nominations.
Go Elton John! >:D
This was a great song how people call it boring I will never know!!!
thanks for uploading
CIRCLE OF LIFE SHOULD'VE WON!!!
hans zimmer made, in my opinion, the best disney score (no offense to alan menken and his gorgeous scores for the hunchback of notre dame and beauty and the beast). kudos to tim rice for recognizing him
