Elton John wins his first Hollywood Music in Media Award

Elton John was one of the winners at the 2024 Hollywood Music in Media Awards, which took place Wednesday in Hollywood.

The HMMAs recognize musical achievements in the movies in multiple categories, including documentaries, features, songs and on-screen performances.
