Billie Eilish Oscars Win Historic: First Trophy for Her, Third for Bond Franchise

Billie Eilish and FINNEAS brought home the bacon with the new addition to their gallery of awards and accolades.

In the now-iconic 94th Academy Awards, Billie Eilish and brother FINNEAS bested four music heavyweights in earning this year's Best Original Song.

"No Time To Die" is Oscar's Best Original Song for 2022

Eilish and Connelly took home one of the only two awards for music in the Oscars for their record "No Time to Die" for the 2021 James bond film of the same title.

The Grammy-winning artists managed to beat Beyonce for "Be Alive" and Lin Manuel Miranda for the "Encanto" hit "Dos Oroguitas. "

"No Time To Die" also won against "Down to Joy" by Van Morrison and "Somehow You Do," by Dianne Warren.

Variety predicted earlier this week that the Bond track is in a tight race with Lin Manuel Miranda's "Dos Oroguitas," which they think will win.

The 20-year old "Happier Than Ever" singer, clad in an all-black gown, performed the Bond hit at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood last night.

This Oscar win marks Billie Eilish and FINNEAS' first Academy Award, which was also the tandem's first nomination at the award-giving body.

However, the Bond films' music is no stranger to the Academy Awards, as this win was also historic for the franchise.
