Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell achieved a remarkable feat at the 2024 Academy Awards as they became two-time Oscar winners. They were honored with the award for “What Was I Made For?” from the movie Barbie. During the ceremony, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo presented the categories of Best Original Score and Best Original Song, where Billie and Finneas were nominated for the second time in five years.

Expressing her surprise and gratitude, Billie approached the microphone after embracing notable figures such as America Ferrera, Greta Gerwig, and Margot Robbie in the audience. She admitted, “I had a nightmare about this last night. Thank you so much to the Academy, I just didn’t think this would happen, I was not expecting this.” Billie also expressed her love and appreciation for Greta, acknowledging the impact of the film on those who were affected by it.

Earlier in the evening, Billie and Finneas moved the audience to tears with their heartfelt performance of the award-winning song, which had previously won a Grammy. The rendition showcased their signature style and brought a meaningful touch to the stage.

In an interview with ET, Billie and Finneas described their performance as “suρer simple” yet deeply significant, as it reflected the essence of how they originally created the song. They emphasized the special connection between the two of them in the process.

The 2024 Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 10. The event aired live on ABC, and ETonline.com provided comprehensive coverage, including red carpet arrivals, the complete list of winners, and more.
