‘Barbie’ singer Billie Eilish became the youngest person to win two Oscars

Billie Eilish was honored to receive the 2024 Oscar gold statue in the category “Best Original Soundtrack”. This is the second time the 22-year-old singer has received this award.

With the ballad “What Was I Made For?” from “Barbie,” 22-year-old Eilish and 26-year-old O’Connell became the youngest and second youngest people ever to win an Oscar, respectively. The pop duo just took home the Grammy for song of the year for their melancholy hit “Barbie” last month.

Two years ago, the siblings won their first Oscar for the James Bond theme song “No Time to Die.” In addition, Billie Eilish is also the first woman to receive two of the three most prestigious awards (Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe).

Previously, the record for the youngest person to ever win two Oscars belonged to actress Luise Rainer, who was 28 years old when she won her second lead actress award in 1938 for her role in the TV movie “The Good Earth”. “, after winning the same award the previous year for “The Great Ziegfeld.”

Receiving the award, Eilish said, “I dreamed about this last night,” then burst out laughing. “I feel extremely lucky and honored.” She even yelled at a former music teacher, “You don’t like me but you did a good job.”

Eilish is already among the youngest Oscar winners ever. In the original song category, the record still belongs to Czech singer-songwriter Markéta Irglová, who is only 19 years old, with the award for the ballad “Falling Slow” from the movie “Once”.

Only a handful of people have won two Oscars by the age of 30. Jodie Foster achieved the feat at age 29 with her second win for leading actress for her performance in “The Silence of the Lambs.” Meanwhile, Hilary Swank also achieved this achievement at the age of 30, with her second win in the category for “Million Dollar Baby”.

To win Best Original Score, Eilish and O’Connell beat out another “Barbie” nominee, “I’m Just Ken,” along with the songs “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People).” from “Killers of the Flower Moon”, “The Fire Inside” from “Flamin’ Hot” and “It Never Went Away” from “American Symphony”.
