It's a remarkable achievement for the talented duo

Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell have just rewritten the history books at the Oscars. They're now the youngest duo to win two Academy Awards, after grabbing the Best Song trophy for their track "What Was I Made For?" from the "Barbie" soundtrack.

This isn't their first rodeo, though.

These talented siblings previously took home an Oscar for their song "No Time to Die," featured in the 2022 James Bond film. Eilish, at just 22, is now the youngest two-time Oscar winner ever, while O’Connell, at 26, is believed to be the second youngest to achieve this remarkable feat.

Among the nominated songs from the "Barbie" soundtrack, "What Was I Made For?" was one of them.

The other contender was "I’m Just Ken," a humorous song sung by Ryan Gosling. Interestingly, "I’m Just Ken" was created by another talented duo, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, who previously penned the hit "Shallow" for the 2018 movie "A Star Is Born.

Billie Eilish’s poignant ballad provided a deeper emotional layer to the narrative. Described by director Greta Gerwig as "Barbie’s heart song," Eilish and O’Connell's composition delved into the intricacies of human emotions, adding significant depth to the story.


The duo had already clinched the Golden Globe, two Grammys (including Song of the Year), and honors from the Society of Composers & Lyricists for "What Was I Made For?" These accolades, along with the song's staggering 633 million streams compared to the 105 million of "I’m Just Ken," further solidified its position as a frontrunner for the Oscar.
