Read Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s Acceptance Speech for Best Song at the 2024 Oscars

At 22 years old, Billie Eilish already has two Academy Awards under her belt. During Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony, the multi-talented singer and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, took home the gold statuette for Best Song for their Barbie hit “What Was I Made For?” (They also performed the track with an orchestra earlier in the evening.)

The win made Eilish and Finneas second-time winners of a “triple crown” (an Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe for music in a film). Eilish first clinched the title of youngest-ever triple crown winner for 2022’s “No Time to Die.”

When the duo took the stage to accept the accolade, Eilish told the audience, “I had a nightmare about this last night,” before taking a deep breath and bursting into laugher.

She continued, “Thank you so much to the Academy. I feel like—I just didn’t think this would happen. I was not expecting this. I feel so incredibly lucky and honored. Thank you to Greta—where did you go? I love you! Thank you for this. I’m so thankful for this song and for this movie, and the way that it made me feel. And this goes out to everyone who was affected by the movie and how incredible it is. And I want to thank my team and my parents. I love you guys so much.”

O’Connell thanked several specific supporters and collaborators, including the siblings’ parents “forever and ever and ever,” his girlfriend Claudia Sulewski, and his best friends, to which Eilish added, “I want to thank my best friend, Zoe, for playing Barbies with me growing up and being by my side forever. I want to thank my dance teachers growing up.”

“I want to thank my choir teachers,” she concluded, adding that one of them “didn’t like me, but you were good at your job!” She might be Gen Z and a two-time Oscar winner, but at least in this sense she’s relatable.
