Before the 96th Academy Awards, Eilish had already garnered multiple awards at the Grammys in February, including 'Song of the Year' and 'Best Song Written for Visual Media,' both for the 'Barbie' song.

This isn't the first time Eilish and Finneas have been recognised at the Oscars. They previously won 'Best Original Song' at the 2022 Oscars for 'No Time to Die' from the 'James Bond' film of the same name.

"We are so incredibly honoured to receive a nomination for 'What Was I Made For?'," the siblings said in a joint statement after earning their nomination in January. "As lifelong fans of film, music in film and the Academy Awards, this means everything to us."

They expressed gratitude to the Academy, 'Barbie' cast and crew and collaborators Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, as well as Margot Robbie for her role as producer and performer in the film. Their statement concluded with heartfelt appreciation for the recognition and support they received.
