Two years were enough for Billie Eilish <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/movies/oscars-2024-winners-and-nominees-revealed/gtn2jhn">to stand on the Oscar stage again</a> and receive the statuette in the Best Original Song category.&nbsp;

Previously, she won the award for the phenomenal Bond song No Time to Die.&nbsp;At this year's gala, she was recognised for her powerful ballad What Was I Made For?&nbsp;from Barbie.&nbsp;

Not only was it the only golden knight for the pink production, but the singer gained the title of the youngest two-time Oscar winner in history.&nbsp;The second youngest owner of two prestigious statuettes is her brother Finneas O'Connell, who co-wrote both songs with her.

Eilish was hailed as a true global pop phenomenon a few years ago.&nbsp;At the age of 17, she released her first album.&nbsp;The album quickly found crowds of fans, and the eyes of the whole world turned to the young singer.&nbsp;"Everyone is impressed by her unusual universe and personality," wrote Vogue.

Her soft voice easily dips into the lower registers.&nbsp;In the texts she writes herself, she evokes classic topics such as love stories and breakups.&nbsp;She also touches on darker themes, singing about death, depression and anxiety.&nbsp;She also became the creator and performer of the song for the 25th part of the James Bond film, No Time to Die.

It was for this song that she won her first Oscar when she was only 20 years old.&nbsp;Even then, she could easily be considered the second youngest winner in the Best Original Song category.&nbsp;Only Marketa Irglova was younger when she won in 2008 for Falling Slowly.

The siblings' latest win for the emotional ballad from the movie Barbie moved them both past the previous record holder, Luise Rainer, who won best actress in 1937 for The Great Ziegfeld and again in 1938 for The Good Earth, when she was 28 years old.&nbsp;She was the first actress to win in the main category.

Later in the night, the sibling duo won their second Academy Award for best original song for "What Was I Made For?" from the "Barbie" soundtrack.It makes Eilish, 22, the youngest person ever to win two Academy Awards. She previously won best original song with her brother, 26, for their James Bond song "No Time to Die" in 2022.

Eilish and O'Connell's second Oscar win caps off <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/fashion/here-are-all-the-must-see-looks-from-the-2024-oscars/7k23gql">a stellar awards season</a> that saw What Was I Made For?&nbsp;win a Grammy for Song of the Year, a Society of Composers and Lyricists Award, a Golden Globe and several critical accolades.

She was born on December 18, 2001 and has Irish and Scottish roots.&nbsp;Her mother is actress Maggie Baird, and her father is Patrick O'Connell.&nbsp;And although haters accuse her that the singer, brought up in a wealthy family, only makes money off teenagers' problems, it is hard to disagree that her attitude of talking about her weaknesses has helped millennials around the world.

Her career started very quickly.&nbsp;The song Ocean Eyes, which she wrote together with her brother, became an Internet hit, and a moment later Eilish signed a contract with a major label, and although many people began to advise her on what steps she should take in show business, she hid with her brother in the studio and started working on music.&nbsp;

Without the spotlight of a major studio, showing your body, or scandal in the media, she decided to stay true to her beliefs and create as before - honestly, without any lies.&nbsp;The result of the singer's hard work was a mini-album that has appeared on the Billboard charts for over a hundred weeks.
