22-year-old sensation, Billie Eilish, made waves in the film industry once again by securing an Oscar win for Best Original Song. She celebrated this extraordinary achievement in a modest locale, the Astro Family Restaurant in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, until the early hours of the morning.
Eilish Triumphs with Best Original Song
The award-winning track, titled “What Was I Made For?”, was featured in the Barbie movie. Billie celebrated her success alongside her brother and collaborator, Finneas O'Connell, who also received an Oscar for his contribution to the song. The duo's success didn't stop there. This achievement marked their second Oscar win, with the first being 2022's “No Time to Die” from the iconic James Bond franchise. This remarkable accomplishment has positioned Billie as the youngest individual to secure more than a single Oscar.

During her acceptance speech, an evidently surprised Billie expressed her gratitude for the win. In an act of dedication, she directed her win towards everyone affected by the Barbie movie.
