On March 2, Elton John<\/strong> will host his 33rd annual Oscar Viewing Party benefit at West Hollywood Park, but he also needs to be several miles away at the Dolby Theatre for the Oscar ceremony. However, he’s prepared for all the rushing around.<\/p>\n

Elton is nominated for best original song at this year’s Oscars for “Never Too Late.” Of course, he has to be in the theater in case he wins, but he also has to show up to his own party. Luckily, he has some experience with this \u2014 he had to do the same thing in 2020, when he was nominated for “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from his biopic Rocketman.<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking to <\/strong>Variety<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Elton’s husband and manager, David Furnish<\/strong>, says, \u201cWe will run the same drill that we did [then] … as soon as the award is presented, we will jump in the car and we will go straight on to our party\u00a0because it\u2019s very important for us to be there and to be in the room.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Furnish says he’s hoping for a repeat of 2020: Elton won that year and showed up at the party with an Oscar in hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The musical entertainment at the party will be provided by Grammy best new artist winner Chappell Roan<\/strong>, and Furnish says she and Elton are “still talking about” whether or not they’ll be able to perform together that night.<\/p>\n

“He was about as early as an early adopter can be to her talent,” Furnish tells Variety<\/em> about Elton’s relationship with Chappell. “Subsequently, she\u2019s become a dear friend … he keeps an eye on her and loves what she has achieved musically.\u201d<\/p>\n

The annual viewing party, which benefits the Elton John AIDS Foundation, has raised nearly $115 million since it first began.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
