LGBTQ+ Academy Award nominees were few and far between this year, with singer Billie Eilish being the only out performer to take home an Oscar at last night’s star-studded ceremony.
Eilish, who confirmed in an interview with Variety last November that she is “physically attracted to” women, and brother/songwriting partner Finneas O’Connell were up for Best Original Song for their track “What Was I Made For?” from the Barbie soundtrack. It was the duo’s second nomination and their second win, following their 2022 win for their song “No Time to Die” from the 2021 James Bond film of the same name. Eilish’s win for “What Was I Made For?” also makes the 22-year-old the youngest person ever to win two Oscars, according to Variety.
