Billie Eilish is now a two-time Oscar winner

Billie Eilish is back on the Oscars stage for a second time, winning the award for Best Original Song for her Barbie ballad “What Was I Made For?”

“I had a nightmare about this last night,” Eilish said before breaking out in laughter and then saying she didn't think she was going to get the award. In her speech she also thanked writer/director Greta Gerwig and said “this goes out to everyone who was affected by the movie and how incredible it is.”

“I wanna thank my best friend Zoe for playing barbies with me growing up and being by my side forever,” she added. “I want to thank my dance teachers growing up I want to thank, my choir teachers Ms. Brigham, thanks for believing in me, Ms. Teagues you didn’t like me but you were good at your job.”

Eilish previously won the same award in 2022 for her James Bond theme “No Time to Die,” making her the youngest two-time Oscar winner in history.

The song peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for five Grammys. It picked up two Grammys, for Best Song for Visual Media and Song of the Year. It was also Eilish’s second time winning Song of the Year, having also won in 2020 for “Bad Guy.”

It was the first time a song from a movie won Song of the Year since "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic in 1999.

Eilish came out as being “physically attracted” to women in a cover story for Variety at the end of 2023.

“I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real,” she said about other women. “I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life. I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”

Congratulations to the two-time Oscar winner!
