Just after performing his nominated song "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again," Elton John and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin took home an Oscar for best song.

Taupin credited the win to "53 years of hammering it out and doing what we do," while John thanked "everyone involved in Rocketman," the movie the song is featured in.

"This is dream for us," John told the crowd, saying, "There's some amazing talent in the room tonight."

He also thanked his twin boys Zachary and Elijah, saying, "Daddy loves you."
