What do red pins at Oscars mean as Billie Eilish and brother Finneas make statement?

Ethan Shanfeld In his “Saturday Night Live” monologue, Ramy Youssef called for a free Palestine and for the release of the hostages taken in the Israel-Hamas War. At the top of his monologue, Youssef joked, “This is an incredibly spiritual weekend. We’re in the holy month of Ramadan.

an interview with Billboard, the singer, who recently won her second Oscar for her song “What Was I Made For?” from “Barbie,” denounced the growing music industry practice of releasing multiple “vinyl variants.”A vinyl variant is a different pressing of the same album with slight alterations, such as multiple color options or even including additional tracks. Offering several versions encourages super fans to buy all of them.

Billie Eilish has criticised artists who release multiple vinyl formats to boost album sales, calling the practise “really frustrating”.The artist made the comments in a new interview with Billboard, where Eilish and her mother Maggie Baird discussed their history of environmental activism – and in particular, their work towards making vinyl more sustainable.“We live in this day and age where, for some reason, it’s very important to some artists to make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging,” Eilish began, “which ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets them more money.”After Baird interrupted to point out vinyl sales “counts toward No.

Billie Eilish is throwing down the gauntlet… right at Taylor Swift‘s feet it seems!

Billie Eilish is opening up about her music, and her thoughts about music consumption.

The Gaslight Anthem have shared a heavy cover of Billie Eilish’s ‘Ocean Eyes’.The New Jersey rockers’ cover of the 2016 hit, which served as the lead single on her 2017 EP ‘Don’t Smile At Me, starts off with a haunting vocalisation before jumping straight into a loud drumbeat and chugging guitar while frontman Brian Fallon juxtaposes Eilish’s original soft vocals with his raspy voice. The song also features backing vocals by psych-jam bassist/bandleader Karina Rykman.Speaking about their decision to cover ‘Ocean Eyes’ in a statement (via Stereogum), Fallon shared: “I was driving my daughter to school and she played it for me on the way and I really took to the song.

Flavor Flav and Billie Eilish now have matching custom Barbie clock necklaces with their names on them. On Sunday, the famous rapper and reality star walked the Vanity Fair red carpet with a pink custom Barbie clock necklace with his name on it.

Angelique Jackson As the clock inched toward midnight at the Vanity Fair Oscars party (and on the eight-month long “Barbie” press tour), Greta Gerwig gleefully danced the night away. With an In-N-Out burger in one hand and a cocktail in the other, Gerwig grooved to Dua Lipa’s hit “Dance the Night” with another one of her Barbies, Hari Nef, who sported a pink feathered Balenciaga jacket with a sizable train.

Billie Eilish got the best surprise at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party thanks to Flavor Flav!

“I’m Just Ken” might actually win Best Original Song over “What Was I Made For?” — Billie Eilish’s far superior “Barbie” tune.After all, another Oscar win would make Eilish, 22, and her producer brother, Finneas, 26, the youngest two-time Academy Award winners in history after their victory in 2022 for the Bond theme song “No Time To Die.”Perhaps with some voters thinking “too much, too soon,” an upset seemed to be brewing.But now the siblings are in the history books — as they should be.Sometimes it’s just as simple as real recognizing real — whether it’s at the Oscars or the Grammys.And when Eilish got a standing O from Hollywood’s finest after performing “What Was I Made For?” at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night, it was an acknowledgement of just how far ahead she was of the other Best Original Song nominees.To be honest, it wasn’t even as hauntingly heartbreaking as her performance of the tune just before it took Song of the Year at the Grammys last month.But it was still real artistry on raw display that was all the chills and feels.“What Was I Made For?” also became only the 10th song in history to win both the Grammy for Song of the Year and the Oscar for Best Original Song.That puts it in some pretty prestigious company, with the likes of “Moon River” (from 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) “The Way We Were” (from 1973’s “The Way We Were”), “Evergreen” (from 1976’s “A Star Is Born”), “You Light Up My Life” (from 1977’s “You Light Up My Life”), “A Whole New World” (from 1992’s “Aladdin”) and “My Heart Will Go On” (from 1997’s “Titanic”).Bravo, Billie and Finneas.

Billie Eilish (22) and Finneas O’Connell (26) made history on Sunday night at the Oscars as they became the youngest two-time winners ever, taking home the golden statue for the somber Barbie hit “What Was I Made For?” in the Original Song category. 

was full of notable fashion, and many stars chose to add a red pin to their looks in support of a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.Singer and Oscar winner Billie Eilish, and Poor Things actors Mark Ruffalo and Ramy Youssef were among the guests who wore the enamel red pin which connoted their solidarity with Artists4Ceasefire, a group of nearly 400 entertainment industry workers who urging President Biden to call for a ceasefire in the Other celebrities who signed the letter include , Bradley Cooper, Jessica Chastain, , Cate Blanchett, Lupita Nyong’o, Drake, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Lopez.“We come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings witnessing the devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors in Israel and Palestine,” the letter to President Biden begins. “We ask that, as President of the United States, you and the US Congress call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost."Prior to the pin's Oscars debut, they popped up at the Grammy awards of Boygenius band members Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker.

Imagine being just 22 years old and having two Academy Awards trophies somewhere in your apartment (or mansion). Welcome to Billie Eilish‘s life.

Billie Eilish said she “had a nightmare” about winning her second Oscar as she and brother Finneas picked up their latest trophy at tonight’s (March 10) event.The pair won the award for Best Original Song for ‘What Was I Made For?’, their contribution to the soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.The victory followed the sibling musicians winning their first Oscar in 2022 for their Bond theme, ‘No Time To Die’.“I had a nightmare about this last night,” Eilish began before pausing and seemingly reconsidering sharing more of that anecdote. “Thank you so much to the Academy.

Billie Eilish and Finneas are bringing their Barbie theme to life on the 2024 Oscars stage.

Billie Eilish delivered a powerful performance of “What Was I Made For?” at the 2024 Academy Awards on Sunday night. Eilish was joined by her brother, co-writer and producer Finneas O’Connell, in a touching rendition of the song from Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” which earned eight Oscar nominations. With O’Connell on piano, Eilish moved the audience with her signature ethereal vocals.

Ceasefire pins among Oscar guests and nominees were numerous on this afternoon’s red carpet with Poor Things actor Ramy Youssef and Barbie “What Was I Made For?” songwriting team Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell donning them.

Jaden Thompson “What Was I Made For?” singer Billie Eilish, “Poor Things” star Ramy Youssef and more celebrities wore red pins in support of Artists for Ceasefire at the Oscars red carpet on Sunday. “We’re calling for immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza. We’re calling for peace and lasting justice for the people of Palestine,” Youssef told Variety‘s Marc Malkin on the red carpet.

Meryl Streep said “saved the movies” in 2023 – may have been snubbed in some of the major categories at the 2024 Academy Awards. (Shout-out to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig!)But there is no stopping that arch-footed doll in at least one category — Best Original Song — where Billie Eilish is the overwhelming favorite to win her second Oscar for her brooding ballad “What Was I Made For?”Only another “Barbie” ditty, “I’m Just Ken,” even stands a chance at an upset.Just like “No Time to Die” — Eilish’s Bond theme that took the song-penning prize in 2022 — the tune that hauntingly humanizes Barbie was co-written by the singer’s producer brother Finneas.

The 96th Academy Awards are almost here and another long, strange awards season is at an end. And while there was no public scandal for The Academy to deal with this time around (granted, they need to make it through the telecast alive), the 2020s continue to deliver one Oscars curveball after another.
