Billie Eilish breaks unbelievable record as she wins another Best Song Oscar

Billie Eilish breaks unbelievable record as she wins another Best Song Oscar

The singer-songwriter has smashed a record after scooping another Academy Award for her song 'What Was I Made For?' in Barbie

Billie Eilish has broken a world record for Oscar nominees for her song 'What Was I Made For?'

Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell have won their second Academy award for music.

The writing duo, who are also siblings, previously won an Oscar for their Bond theme for No Time to Die, Daniel Craig's last outing as 007.

But now the pair have won another Academy Award for their song 'What Was I Made For?' for Barbie.

And the second Academy Award that the pair have won means that they have broken a new record, becoming the youngest songwriting duo to win more than one Oscar.

To be more specific, Billy Eilish will be taking the top spot as the youngest winner of two Oscars. She's only 22.

Meanwhile, her brother O'Connell, who is four years her senior, will be in second place.

Not only that, but they have become only the fourth and fifth people to win two Academy Awards before the age of 30.

Previous people to have accomplished this truly impressive feat include Luise Rainer, who won Best Actress in 1936 and 1937 when she was 28 and 29.

There is also Jodie Foster, who also took home Best Actress twice before she turned 30, once in 1989 aged 26, and again in 1992 aged 29.

Finally, there is Hillary Swank, who won Best Actress in 2000 aged 26, and then a second time in 2005 when she was 29 years old.

Eilish and O'Connell gave a moving rendition of the song to the audience gathered at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Eilish was just 17 years old when she wrote the theme for No Time to Die, making her also the youngest person to have written a Bond theme.

That's a lot of records!

Music was a strong point for Barbie, with not one but two original songs from the film having nominations for best original song.

These were 'I’m Just Ken' by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, and 'What Was I Made For?'.

Greta Gerwig’s take on Barbie takes its lead character from a sunny and blissful existence in Barbieland to the real world, where she realises that the Barbies’ utopian lives are a far cry from how women live in reality.

Starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and America Ferrara, Barbie received nine nominations.
