Billie Eilish makes history with second Oscar win
“I feel so incredibly lucky and honored,” said a visibly emotional Billie as she took the mic on stage. “This goes out to everyone who was affected by the movie and how incredible it is,” she continued. The brother-sister team had previously won the award for Best Original Song in 2021 for No Time to Die in the James Bond film of the same name starring Daniel Craig.
22-year-old Billie snagged her second Oscar, breaking an 87-year-old industry record. With this Billie scripts history by becoming the youngest two-time Oscar winner at the age of 22, surpassing the mark held by Luise Rainer, who was 28 when she won her second Oscar. She was nominated for her song What Was I Made For? by Barbie. The other nominated song for the night was from the same movie. ‘I’m Just Ken,’ a heartfelt ode to Ryan Gosling, was written by Star Is Born nominees Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt (known for writing Shallow.)
