Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, won the prize for original song at Sunday night’s 96th Academy Awards with “What Was I Made For?,” their existential sigh of a piano ballad from Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster “Barbie.” The siblings’ victory, which followed a win in the same category in 2022 for their Bond theme from “No Time to Die,” made Eilish, 22, and O’Connell, 26, the youngest people ever to win a second Oscar — and the first songwriters since James Horner and Will Jennings to take the song Oscar with a tune that also won song of the year at the Grammys.
