Elton John Wins Best Original Song At Oscars - Was It Deserved?

Elton John won Best Original Song at the Oscars on Sunday night for '(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again' from the Rocketman biopic. It beat songs from Toy Story 4 (Randy Newman), Frozen II ('Into the Unknown'), Breakthrough (Diane Warren) and Harriet (Cynthia Erivo). It's Elton John's second time winning the award. He previously won for 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' from The Lion King. But did this new song deserve the honour?
