THE 96th Academy Awards are here – and Billie Eilish has made Oscars history.

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas won the Oscar for Best Original Song for What Was I Made For? on the Barbie soundtrack.

The siblings have made Oscar history as the youngest two-time winners ever after the duo won Best Original Song for the James Bond theme No Time To Die.

When the artists took to the stage to accept the honor, Billie immediately took to the microphone.

“I had a nightmare about this last night,” the singer said as the audience laughed.

“I was not expecting this. Thank you Greta – I’m grateful for this song, and this movie, and the way it made me feel.”

While Barbie won Best Original Song, Oppenheimer took home the award for Best Original Score and continued to sweep the categories – including the biggest award of the night, Best Picture.

Robert Downey Jr and Cillian Murphy both won for their roles in the movie, and director Christopher Nolan won his first Oscar for Best Director.
