"I HAD A NIGHTMARE about this last night. Thank you so much to the Academy

NO MAJOR SURPRISES, BUT STILL A COLORFUL OSCARS NIGHT

I just didn't think this would happen. I was not expecting this. I feel so incredibly lucky and honored!" A stunned Billie Eilish exclaimed Sunday night after she won her second Oscar.

At 22, the music superstar is the youngest two-time Oscar winner in history. She shares the distinction with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell.

Backstage, Billie insisted that she is not chasing records. “I don’t do it for other people. I don’t do it for numbers or for some sort of specific fame… I want everyone to be doing something that they feel passionate about and that they feel proud of and that makes them feel like the best version of themselves.”

Billie and Finneas won for the song they wrote for “Barbie.” Their haunting ballad What Was I Made  For beat the iconic I’m Just Ken, the other nominated song from the movie, which was performed by Ken himself, Ryan Gosling, at the show — and it was easily the highlight of the evening!

Ryan brought the house down. The performance even caused Emma Stone’s gown to break!

During the commercial gap before the number, an announcer informed the audience that they will be a part of the performance. Most of the Kens in “Barbie” appeared on stage. This is Hollywood and the Academy celebrating the biggest movie of the year.

When the nominations were announced in January, there was a backlash over the missing nominations for Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig for Best Actress and Best Director, respectively. The show made sure there won’t be any fan backlash after.
