"You didnt like me but you were good at your job" LOL REAL

[yearsfromnow]

The way they interacted with each other, that special bond between brothers and sisters, it's precious. I'm in tears.

“you didn’t like me but you were good at your job” 😭😭

I love that they do this together still. I hope they always have that.

[arsyn]

Billie had the most Gen Z reaction to winning an Oscar and she deserves every bit of this.

[axr]

This makes Finneas O'Connell the first ever man to win 2 Oscars before age 30 (he's 26), while his sister Billie Eilish becomes the youngest ever 2-time winner at age 22. They are also only the 3rd and 4th people to pull off 2 wins before 30 in any category overall (after 2-time Best Actress winners Luise Rainer and Jodie Foster).

Billie Eilish is only 22 and already has 2 Oscars, congrats to both Billie and Finneas.

And to think when they wrote this song they were having writer's block and Billie felt like she had peaked in her career. What an amazing talented duo they are. Imagine writing critically-acclaimed smash hits with your brother/sister. That's so cool

[ariamae]

The way Ariana and Cynthia hug Billie and Fin are like two proud aunts, I love them all together 💞

[BelleTolles]

This wasn't just a song -- it's something that struck such a deep cord in so many. truly a masterpiece

[BelleTolles]

This one and Cillian made me the happiest of the night, because their work comes straight from heart and soul, not from ego or need for fame. I want to thank the academy myself for such a fine decision ☺️

[JackSparrow-gnbe]

Billie Eilish is still as real and down to earth as ever with 2 Oscars and 9 Grammys so far by age 22.

Shot out to Mrs. T you pushed her clearly enough to get a nice nasty thanks on the Oscar’s!

[andrew.ramdat]

This speech was so touching ❤. Her thanking Zoe for playing Barbie dolls with her, thanking her choir, her teachers including the one that didn’t like Billie. When she thanked Greta she looked so supremely grateful, her face definitely told me “I owe you everything girl”. I’m so proud of them, they came such a long way. You can tell that winning their first Oscar was moment they wanted to live in because it wasn’t even in their thought that they would get nominated and win again, and with it happening just 2 short years later, shows how surreal it is. Billie getting all teary is poignant. I’m so proud of them, it’s incredible. They just made history as the first to win ‘The triple crown of Oscar, golden globe, & Grammys in the same year’ 2x & Billie is the youngest artist to win an Oscar 2x. Congratulations To both Billie & Finneas❤

[KristinaHarrow]

This actually made me tear up. So incredibly well deserved! This song puts you through the motions. It embodies what we all feel at some point in life and is written and performed perfectly.

Thank you Margot and Greta for making such a brilliant movie and for Billie and Finneas for making the perfect song to encapsulate the movie.

Barbie meant a lot to so many people all around the world. There’s a reason it did so well and made 1.5 billion at the box office.

So, awards or not, the impact Barbie made is unmatched. And this song is unmatched ❤

Finneas is a brilliant songwriter and mixer. He has a knack for theatricality, but he's both sensitive unsentimental--it's an outstanding combo. With his sister's perfect voice, songwriting collaboration, and heart-inspired interpretations, they are off the chart.

[squareglow]

Excellent. She has a lot to do with the tempo and style of the song. The tone was spot on.

[carlidigiovanni]

Billie taking Finneas' hand as they walked on the stage is so sweet

[cherieem]

Ariana, Cynthia, and Billie all interacting like that had me screaming, "WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN!" I love it.

[vincentdilaura]

Billie & Finneas are a breath of fresh air in the music industry!! So talented & humble!!!
