Billie Eilish makes history as she breaks another Oscars record
American superstar Billie Eilish continues to make history, setting a new Oscars record as the youngest two-time Oscar winner in history. In just two years, she has graced the Oscars stage again, this time winning in the Best Original Song category for her powerful ballad “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.
This achievement follows her previous win for the phenomenal Bond song “No Time to Die.” At this year’s ceremony, her emotional ballad earned her the title of the youngest two-time Oscar winner, a feat shared with her brother and co-writer, Finneas O’Connell.
Eilish first rose to prominence as a global pop phenomenon at the age of 17 with the release of her debut album. Her unique style and captivating persona quickly garnered her a devoted fanbase and worldwide attention. Vogue praised her for her unusual universe and personality.
Despite her youth, Eilish’s music explores a range of themes, from classic love stories to darker subjects like death, depression, and anxiety. Her versatility as a songwriter and performer was further highlighted by her contribution to the James Bond film, “No Time to Die,” which earned her first Oscar at just 20 years old.
By winning her second Oscar alongside her brother, Eilish surpasses previous record holders, further solidifying her place in Oscars history. Their remarkable achievement adds to a stellar awards season for the siblings, with “What Was I Made For?” also winning a Grammy for Song of the Year, a Society of Composers and Lyricists Award, a Golden Globe, and numerous critical accolades.
