"What Was I Made For?" Wins Best Original Song from 'Barbie' by Billie Eilish & Finneas O'Connell

[@3yearsfromnow]

The way they interacted with each other, that special bond between brothers and sisters, it's precious. I'm in tears.

[@FMcrow020]

RIGHT!!! I love them!

[@axr7149]

This makes Finneas O'Connell the first ever man to win 2 Oscars before age 30 (he's 26), while his sister Billie Eilish becomes the youngest ever 2-time winner at age 22. They are also only the 3rd and 4th people to pull off 2 wins before 30 in any category overall (after 2-time Best Actress winners Luise Rainer and Jodie Foster).

[@dianarusnov292]

Hilary Swank is a close one too, I think she would have been 31 during her 2005 win.

[@kellydanielle0214]

And first brother and sister too!!🎉🎉🎉

[@axr7149]

@@kellydanielle0214 Technically yes and no. In terms of siblings winning the same category together, yes. However, there is the brother-sister team of Douglas Shearer (sound mixer) and actress Norma Shearer, both of whom won their first Oscars for Sound Recording and Lead Actress respectively in the same year. Both of them won at the 3rd Academy Awards held in 1930. Brother and sister Lionel and Ethel Barrymore won Oscars for Lead Actor and Supporting Actress respectively although in different years. These 2 are the great uncle and great aunt respectively of Drew Barrymore.

They said they had writers block yet Billie said a new album is coming. Maybe that was after they wrote this one. Her last album was awesome and I went to her show and I cried once during one of her sad songs. Her voice has that effect.

[@andrew.ramdat]

This speech was so touching ❤. Her thanking Zoe for playing Barbie dolls with her, thanking her choir, her teachers including the one that didn’t like Billie. When she thanked Greta she looked so supremely grateful, her face definitely told me “I owe you everything girl”. I’m so proud of them, they came such a long way. You can tell that winning their first Oscar was moment they wanted to live in because it wasn’t even in their thought that they would get nominated and win again, and with it happening just 2 short years later, shows how surreal it is. Billie getting all teary is poignant. I’m so proud of them, it’s incredible. They just made history as the first to win ‘The triple crown of Oscar, golden globe, & Grammys in the same year’ 2x & Billie is the youngest artist to win an Oscar 2x. Congratulations To both Billie & Finneas❤

[@kc0mwl]

Finneas is a brilliant songwriter and mixer. He has a knack for theatricality, but he's both sensitive unsentimental--it's an outstanding combo. With his sister's perfect voice, songwriting collaboration, and heart-inspired interpretations, they are off the chart.

[@KristinaHarrow]

This actually made me tear up. So incredibly well deserved! This song puts you through the motions. It embodies what we all feel at some point in life and is written and performed perfectly. Thank you Margot and Greta for making such a brilliant movie and for Billie and Finneas for making the perfect song to encapsulate the movie. Barbie meant a lot to so many people all around the world. There’s a reason it did so well and made 1.5 billion at the box office. So, awards or not, the impact Barbie made is unmatched. And this song is unmatched ❤

Billie taking Finneas' hand as they walked on the stage is so sweet

[@Hmy8799]

SO very much deserved-they have two of the most brilliant minds that have ever “made it” in the music industry. It’s incredibly fascinating to watch their process…and the way that they support each other and are both still so incredibly grounded (I know SO much of that has to do with how their parents raised them!) So cool to see them sitting right next to their kiddos at the Oscars! And I freaking love that they’ve brought the ‘rents on tour with them from the beginning….you don’t hear of that happening with other artists…That family dynamic is so unique and really heartwarming in how much they love each other-a standout example to me is how their parents slept in the living room in the house they grew up in (which was only a 2 bedroom), so that both Finneas and Billie could have spaces of their own🥹. Both sibs have synesthesia, which will forever fascinate me (they see certain notes/sounds as colors, etc) which I definitely think sets their music apart from the norm. If you watch the documentary (methinks it’s available on KZbin), it’s incredible to watch Finneas on the computer creating, as they bounce ideas off of each other like it ain’t no thang. But it’s straight up magical🙌

[@loistucker774]

Oh how interesting, re synesthesia. Taylor Swift has said she does, also. I'll look for the O'Connor documentary. Thanks for the pointer.

Ok so im very intense right? And when Barbie came out I had just come back home after a divorce, which happened because my marriage had the impacts of cancer (i had hodgkins lymphoma) and my mother died while I was on treatment. I lost my job, we lost our apartment too, our cat died and many things lead me into an existential crisis that I bottled up because I had to do what I had to do to survive. Then my marriage was over and I had lost everything. I went to watch the movie with my best friend and when this song came up and I paid attention to the lyrics it just hit me... it was powerful, it was meaningful just as much as the movie. I love Billie.

[@tanisha4904]

billie has meant so much to me since i was in middle school. then came this song and it's become i hold close to my heart. then the Barbie movie came. I was going through it leading up to the release of Barbie. when it came out, I went to the movies alone and cried and cried and cried. everything about this means so so so much to me. it's a feeling i can't describe, but i can say that i feel seen and not alone in this world. ah, thank you billie for being with me since middle school. thank you finneas. thank you greta for the movie. margot and the whole team behind the Barbie movie. you all did a very good job of captivating that undescribable feeling. thank you

I thought they wrote it by themselves. I'm sure they did most of it. So beautiful and of course Billie's range is getting stronger and her falsetto and voice overall with the lyrics and video can make you cry. I never wanted to see the movie because I thought it was going to be an airhead girly comedy. I stopped playing with Barbies at 12. Now I want to see it after realizing there's more to the movie. Over a billion at the box office and my masculine friend liked it so that says a lot.

[@beetlebob4675]

The daughter of the main human character, is very anti -barbie in the beginning for all the same reasons we all became anti-barbie at some point. The stereotypical stuff, The Patriarchy, etc. lol There's also an epic rant by the main human character about the catch-22s of being a woman in general that really makes you go, "wow so it really doesn't matter. I should just do what I want. Sick." It wasn't like the Barbie movies of the past. I found it much funnier, and much more relatable as an adult, as opposed to a movie like "Life-Size" or something; the Tyra Banks one.

[@alanuchiha]

they did write it by themselves. mark & andrew just added in some orchestral elements since they were creating the film score

[@vp4744]

They wrote all of it themselves. The other two names on the track created the 4 second harp based on the chords Finneas made. That harp background in the middle of the second verse was repeated throughout the movie to connect aurally to the ending.
