Did Billie Eilish win an Oscar?
Billie and Finneas won Best Original Song for ‘What Was I Made For’, which was part of the incredible Barbie soundtrack.
The duo put on a heartfelt performance of the song too while on a pink, low-lit stage which span toward the audience. Finneas played the piano while above them an orchestra provided the tear-jerking melody.
Another Barbie track was up for the award; ‘I’m Just Ken’ by Mark Robson and Andrew Wyatt which Ryan Gosling performed earlier on in the night much to the delight of the star-studded audience including his co-stars Margot Robbie, America Ferrera and director Greta Gerwig.
How many Oscars does Billie Eilish have?
Billie now has two Oscars to her name, both for Best Original Song, the first for the 2022 Bond movie No Time To Die and the second for ‘What Was I Made For’, which was her and brother Finneas’ contribution to the Barbie soundtrack.
Their wins have made them the youngest two-time winners in Oscar history, with Billie, 22, the youngest and Finneas believed to be the second youngest dual winner at 26.

After winning their 2024 Oscar, which was presented by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, Billie and Finneas took to the stage for their acceptance speech.
