The Academy shared the exciting news on X (formerly Twitter), announcing Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s victory in the Best Original Song category for “What Was I Made For?” from ‘Barbie’. The post highlighted the duo’s success at the Oscars, adding to their list of accolades.

Last month, “What Was I Made For?” clinched the Song of the Year at the Grammys, while ‘Barbie’ secured wins for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Song Written for Visual Media, according to Variety.
