Eighty-nine\u00a0songs were eligible to be nominated for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards in 2025, but only 15 of them have made the short list \u2014 and one of them is by Elton John<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Never Too Late<\/a>,” written by Elton, his friend Brandi Carlile<\/strong>, Bernie Taupin<\/strong> and producer Andrew Watt<\/strong>, is now officially eligible for an Oscar nomination. The song plays over the end credits of the documentary Elton John: Never Too Late<\/em>, which is currently streaming on Disney+. However, the film itself didn’t make the short list for Best Documentary Feature.<\/p>\n

The Oscar nominations will be revealed Jan. 17.<\/p>\n

If “Never Too Late” wins an Oscar, it’ll be Elton’s third. He previously won in 1995 for “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King<\/em> and in 2000 for “I’m Gonna Love Me Again” from his biopic Rocketman.<\/em>\u00a0Earlier this year, Elton officially became an EGOT winner when he scored his first Emmy Award, for his Farewell\u00a0from Dodger Stadium<\/em> special.<\/p>\n
