looked to be playing mediator between his godson and his superstar family at his viewing party on Sunday.
The Rocket Man hitmaker hosted the crème de la crème of Hollywood on the evening of the movie world's biggest night, with the guestlist including Brooklyn, 27, and his wife - amid their ongoing feud with the Beckhams.
Just hours before the bash, the aspiring chef made a stinging swpie at his mother Victoria as Britain celebrated Mother's Day - by only paying tribute to another his mother-in-law Claudia - totally shunning the former Spice Girl.
At Sunday's party, Elton was captured talking to the nepo-babies, with a stern impression while an engaged Brooklyn appeared serious with Nicola alongside.
The Beckhams and Elton have been pals for over 30 years, with David affectionately calling the musician 'Uncle Elton' after becoming friends in his football heyday.

Brooklyn could not take his hands off his wife at the party
Elton was due to perform at the Beckhams wedding in 1999 before suffering a heart attack that prevented him from playing - yet he later sang at Brooklyn’s christening.
Victoria once disclosed that Elton inspired her to say goodbye to the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching her friend perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing.
Prior to the Oscars, Brooklyn was on hand to celebrate former fashion model Claudia Heffner Peltz's 71st birthday alongside actress wife Nicola on Saturday evening, and wasted no time in sharing a tribute on social media.
Taking to Instagram, Brooklyn shared a photo of himself alongside Claudia and Nicola, just hours before the advent of Britain's Mothering Sunday.
Captioning the post, he wrote: 'Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law. Love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day.' Claudia's birthday fell on March 12.
It seemed a particularly deliberate move considering most in the UK celebrating Mother's Day would wake up to the post and Claudia's birthday was three days ago.
Meanwhile snaps posted by Nicola, 31, showed the pair celebrating with Claudia Heffner Peltz for her big day. In a tribute, Nicola penned: 'Happy Birthday to my mom! The pure fact that i get to call you mom makes me truly, the luckiest ever.

'I'm so happy I got to spend your special day with you. I love celebrating you - your light is so bright you make everything better in this world. I love you more than you will ever understand. i hope all your dreams and wishes come true!'
It came as David shared a gushing tribute to Victoria on Mother's Day morning and shared a throwback picture of her while she was pregnant.
He penned in the post: 'Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing mummy..... You are an inspiration in all the ways a mum should be to our 4 amazing children...
'We love you so much and I'm so thankful for the family we have created. Have a special Mother's Day because if there's one person that deserves it it's you. I love you @victoriabeckham.'
He has grown close with Nicola's parents and spent last Christmas celebrating with the billionaire brood, including her brother Bradley.
It comes after he is said to have been 'disheartened' that his parents publicly wished him a happy birthday and broke their communication agreement.

The eldest son of Victoria and David turned 27 earlier this month and blasted the 'performative posts' which included loving messages, according to reports.
An insider told ET that Brooklyn wants to put an end to any attempt from his parents to contact him, including on social media, following their bitter falling out.
Victoria, 51, David, 50, and his brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, all shared heartfelt posts honouring Brooklyn's birthday, but they were apparently unappreciated.
A source told the publication: 'Brooklyn and Nicola are disheartened they chose to make public Instagram posts for his birthday.
'These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail.
'Last summer they issued a legal letter to his parents requesting that any correspondence go through lawyers.'
