Elton John is in the running for a BAFTA nomination for his recent documentary Elton John: Never Too Late.
The film has made the longlist for the 2025 EE Bafta Film Awards, handed out by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
Never Too Late is one of 10 films in the running in the documentary category. Others include I Am: Celine Dion, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story and Will & Harper, starring Will Ferrell and Harper Steele.
The final list of nominees will be announced Jan. 15, with the EE BAFTA Film Awards ceremony happening Feb. 16 at London’s Royal Festival Hall, hosted by Dr. Who star David Tennant.
Elton John: Never Too Late premiered in December on Disney+, featuring never-before-seen footage of Elton’s career and of his life today as a husband and father.
The film missed out on earning a spot on the Academy Awards short list for best documentary, but his song from the movie, “Never Too Late,” which he wrote with Brandi Carlile, Bernie Taupin and producer Andrew Watt, is on the short list for best original song.
The Academy Award nominations will be revealed Jan. 17.
