“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.
Oscar Winner Simon Beaufoy Joins ‘Acute, Urgent and Funny’ Tale of Climate Change ‘S.O.L.’ Created by the Late Ruth McCance (EXCLUSIVE)
20.02.2024 - 07:43 / variety.com
Marta Balaga Oscar-winning writer Simon Beaufoy – behind “Slumdog Millionaire,” “127 Hours” or “The Full Monty” – has joined “S.O.L.” The six-episode thriller, presented at Berlinale’s Co-Pro Series and developed with TV4, is produced by Warp Films (UK) and Rainy Days (Sweden). It was created by Ruth McCance. Diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer, she died in December, aged 53.
“Ruth had written a pilot episode script and outlines for the remaining five episodes,” explained producer Peter Carlton. “It had always been our intention to bring on another writer to work alongside her. When we knew Ruth was dying, we spoke about the future of the project.
We felt we would like to complete the work she had started in her honor and for her kids.” “With her blessing, we are doing just that. We were able to tell her it had been selected for Berlinale.” Beaufoy was an “obvious first choice,” Carlton stated. “Simon met Ruth when she was head of development at Pathé, many moons ago, they worked on his feature ‘The Darkest Light’ [co-directed with Bille Eltringham].
They became and remained firm friends, and when Ruth turned to screenwriting, they would exchange stories of writers’ woes and wins.” In the character-based show, a rich man with good intentions – Stefan Alström Jnr – wants to make his mark on history by saving the world. Instead, he almost ends it by threatening to start a world war. “I wrestled with climate change in fiction 15 years ago on [miniseries] ‘Burn Up’ and decided, rather forlornly, that in the end, it’s an impossible subject.
