Billie Eilish Shatters 87-Year-Old Record at Oscars 2024

In a historic triumph, American singer Billie Eilish has etched her name in the annals of the entertainment industry by shattering an 87-year-old record with her latest Oscar victory.

The groundbreaking moment unfolded at the 2024 Oscars ceremony, where siblings and frequent collaborators, 22-year-old Billie Eilish and 26-year-old Finneas O’Connell, clinched their second Academy Award for the original song ‘What Was I Made For?’ featured in the 2023 summer blockbuster, ‘Barbie.’

This remarkable win not only solidifies the duo’s status as chart-toppers but also establishes them as the youngest-ever two-time winners of the prestigious Best Song trophy. They surpassed the long-standing record held by German actor Luise Rainer, who was 28 when she secured her second Oscar Award, marking an 87-year milestone.

The award-winning track from ‘Barbie,’ which also claimed the Song of the Year honor at the recent Grammy Awards, catapulted Eilish and O’Connell to unprecedented heights. The duo’s emotional acceptance of the accolade at the 96th edition of the Academy Awards reflected their gratitude and appreciation. A visibly moved Eilish expressed, “I feel so incredibly lucky and honored. This goes out to everyone who was affected by the movie and how incredible it is.”

Notably, this is not the first time the talented siblings have graced the Oscar stage. In 2021, they secured the Best Original Song award for ‘No Time To Die,’ featured in the James Bond film starring Daniel Craig.

Turning attention to the broader landscape of Oscars 2024, the film ‘Oppenheimer’ emerged as the night’s big winner, clinching seven awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. This resounding success crowned a triumphant year for filmmaker Christopher Nolan, underscoring the cinematic excellence celebrated on Hollywood’s grandest stage.
