Billie Eilish Wins First Major Acting Award, Dedicates It to 'Swarm' Co-Star Dominique Fishback

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.

Sorry, fellas! If you ain’t Christian Bale, you ain’t the one for Billie Eilish!

Billie Eilish might not know a lot about superheroes, but she knows that she’s a fan of Batman, at least when he’s being played by Christian Bale.

Billie Eilish is sharing the reason why she decided to split from her boyfriend. The acclaimed singer was recently interviewed ahead of her Oscar performance, and while she didn’t reveal who she was dating at the time of her cryptic dream, Billie says that dreaming about Christian Bale made her “[come] to her senses.”Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo’s friendship: How she inspired her saddest songBecky G will be singing at the Oscars: Billie Eilish, Ryan Gosling and more to performThe singer was talking about superheroes and mentioned ‘The Dark Knight,’ which caused her to remember her dream about the actor.

Billie Eilish credits Christian Bale for helping her realize her boyfriend wasn’t meeting her superhero standards. In a new interview with “Chicken Shop Date” host Amelia Dimoldenberg, the 22-year-old “Bad Guy” singer and her brother and collaborator Finneas, 26, got on the topic of superheroes. Eilish admitted she doesn’t “know much” about the genre but claimed Bale in “The Dark Knight” is “the one” and her “favorite.” “I gotta be real,” she confessed, “A couple years ago, I had a dream about Christian Bale, and it was in a little cafe in the sunlight, and it made me realize I had to break up with my boyfriend at the time,” Eilish said as they all burst into laughter.

The 2024 Academy Awards performers have been revealed…and yes, Ryan Gosling is performing “I’m Just Ken” from the hit film Barbie!

One of the big question marks for the 2024 Academy Awards was whether Ryan Gosling would perform “I’m Just Ken” in public for the first time. On Monday, it was reported that Gosling was in and today, the Academy made it official.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor All five of this year’s Academy Award-nominated original songs will be performed on the Dolby Theatre stage at the 96th Oscars. Jon Batiste, Becky G, Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, Scott George and the Osage Singers, and as Variety previously reported, Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson will perform the memorable numbers.

It’s a pretty stacked field for the Best Song Academy Award this year, and the Oscarcast producers today set the performers who’ll be bringing the nominated tunes to the stage.

HBO’s “The Last of Us.” The ceremony was hosted by former “Saturday Night Live” star Aidy Bryant and took place in Santa Monica, Calif., on Sunday.Offerman, who also won an Emmy for the role in January, beat nine other actors in the category, including his “The Last of Us” co-star Murray Bartlett, Billie Eilish (“Swarm”), Jack Farthing (“Rain Dogs”), Adina Porter (“The Changeling”), Lewis Pullman (“Lessons in Chemistry”), Benny Safdie (“The Curse”), Luke Tennie (“Shrinking”), Olivia Washington (“I’m a Virgo”) and Jessica Williams (“Shrinking”).During his acceptance speech, Offerman thanked his wife, “Will and Grace” star Megan Mullally, 65, and HBO.“Thanks to HBO for having the guts to participate in this storytelling tradition that is truly independent,” he said onstage. “Stories with guts that when homophobic hate comes my way and says, ‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that.'” “It’s not a gay story, it’s a love story, you a–hole,” Offerman went on, which got an applause.

Billie Eilish helped Melissa McCarthy check an item off her bucket list! HA!

The best in independent film and television is being celebrated today at the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards!

Melissa McCarthy asked Billie Eilish to sign her forehead on stage at last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.The pair were presenting an award together at the ceremony when McCarthy made the unusual request, offering Eilish a Sharpie so she could do the honours.“I thought you were going to be like ‘I don’t wanna ruin your pretty face!'” McCarthy joked as Eilish uncapped the pen.As Eilish started writing on her forehead, McCarthy asked: “So when you and Finneas are laying down sick tracks and hot beats and…” but was cut off by Eilish putting her hand over McCarthy’s mouth.“i think that’s better,” she replied.

Talk about a real headline.Billie Eilish took a magic marker and “autographed” Melissa McCarthy’s forehead live during the 2024 SAG Awards Saturday night when the duo were presenting the award for Female Actor in a Comedy Series.(“The Bear” star Ayo Edibiri won the award.)The bit started when Eilish, 22, pretended that she never met McCarthy, 53, before they appeared onstage — and McCarthy reminded her that, yes, they had met several times before.“We met twice … actually we met thrice,” a flustered-looking McCarthy said. “You met my daughters and my dog.”As Eilish looked on bemused, McCarthy then told the “Ocean Eyes” singer that she actually met her “in utero,” since Eilish’s mother, actress/producer Maggie May Baird, was McCarthy’s first improv teacher.McCarthy continued.

Billie Eilish left Melissa McCarthy with a gift when they presented an award together at the 2024 SAG Awards – an autograph on her face!

“The movie allowed us to be honest in a way that I don’t think we would have been able to achieve had it not been for — had it not been like an assignment,” says Billie Eilish about writing the weepy and moving Barbie ballad “What Was I Made For?”
