Billie Eilish makes history as youngest two-time Oscar winner

Following their performance of the Barbie soundtrack song, "What Was I Made For?", which has been picking up numerous awards over the past six months, the duo won the award for Best Original Song. In 2022, they won the same award for "No Time to Die" – their title track contribution to the James Bond film.

“If we hadn’t been shown the movie and talked to Greta about it, we would not have made that song. We wouldn’t have known the movie had that gut-wrenching aspect to it," Eilish revealed to Good Morning America last month. “Watching it and seeing what it was about and that scene of Barbie sitting at the bus stop and there’s that old woman sitting next to her – that scene just really got me and it made me [go,] ‘Oh, this is so much more than we all think.’”

This achievement also makes Billie Eilish the first artist to win both Song of the Year at the Grammys and Best Original Song at the Oscars with the same song since Celine Dion's “My Heart Will Go On”. Accepting the award, Eilish said: "I feel so incredibly lucky and honored. This goes out to everyone that was affected by the movie and how incredible it is."

Elsewhere in the evening, Ludwig Göransson won Best Original Score for his work on Oppenheimer. Other nominees included Jerskin Fendrix's Poor Things soundtrack, Robbie Robertson for Killers of the Flower Moon, and John Williams for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
