American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and brother Finneas on Sunday won an Oscar at the 94th Academy Awards for No Time to Die from the James Bond film of the same name. The siblings won the Oscar in the Best Original Song category.
The song earlier won a Grammy for Best Song written for Visual Media in March 2021. Billie Eilsih has also become the first artist born in the 21st century to win an Oscar.
While accepting the award, Billie Eilish said,
“This is so unbelievable, I could scream.” The 20-year-old singer thanked Hans Zimmer, who provided the orchestral arrangement for the song and guitarist Johnny Marr “for taking our song and making it worthy of James Bond.”
Meanwhile, Hans Zimmer won an Oscar for the best original score category at the Academy Awards for the music of Dune.
Finneas, meanwhile, said,
“Last thing, we want to thank our parents who have always been our biggest inspirations and our heroes. We love you as parents and we love you as real people too. Thank you to the Academy. We promise not to lose these.”

More about Billie Eilish's accomplishments
Billie Eilish is among the youngest winners to receive an Academy award. Previously. Markéta Irglová won an Oscar in 2008 in the Best Original Song category for Falling Slowly when she was 19 years old. However, Billie Elish and Finneas are the first American songwriters to win Best Original Song for a Bond theme.
Among the other nominees in the same category -- Best Original Song were Dixson and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter for Be Alive from King Richard, Lin-Manuel Miranda for Dos Oruguitas from Encanto, Van Morrison for Down to Joy from Belfast and Diane Warren for Somehow You Do from Four Good Days.
The past Bond movies, Skyfall and Spectre, have also won Best Original Song at the Oscars but were written by English singers and songwriters. Skyfall was written by Adele and Paul Epworth while Spectre’s Writing’s on the Wall was written by Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes.
By winning the Academy Award, Billie Eilish is halfway through her EGOT -- Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. Earlier in January, No Time to Die won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song and, last year, a Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
Billie Eilish has received several awards and nominations through the course of her career, the most recent of which were seven Grammys in the years 2020 and 2021. In 2020, the singer won Record of the Year and Song of the Year for the album Bad Guy.
That same year she won Best New Artist, Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal album awards for the album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? In 2021, she won Record of the Year award for Everything I Ever Wanted, and Best Song Written for Visual Media for No Time to Die.
