“What Was I Made For?” from Barbie entered this year’s Oscars as the top contender for the best original song award, and it lived up to the hype! Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell won their second Academy Award for this song, but Ryan Gosling’s performance of “I’m Just Ken” ended up stealing the show.

“What Was I Made For?” defeated Barbie’s I’m Just Ken”, written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, “The Fire Inside” by Diane Warren from Flamin’ Hot, “It Never Went Away” by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson from American Symphony, and “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” by Scott George from Killers of the Flower Moon to win Eilish and O’Connel their second Oscar.

They previously collected the best original song trophy for the James Bond theme song from “No Time to Die”. “What Was I Made For?” already won multiple awards coming into the Oscars on Sunday night, including a Grammy for the best song written for visual media.

Despite losing the best original song Oscar to “What Was I Made For?”, “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie was one of the highlights of this year’s ceremony. Ryan Gosling delivered an electrifying performance, which paid homage to Marilyn Monroe’s film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and brought the Oscars crowd to its feet alongside Mark Ronson, Slash, and his co-stars Scott Evans, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben Adir, and Ncuti Gatwa.

It’s somewhat of an Oscar tradition to have all the best original song nominees performed at the ceremony, and the Academy will be honoring it this year. Billie Eilish, Becky G, and Ryan Gosling will bring the nominated songs to LA’s Dolby Theatre in less than two weeks.

Eilish is the front-runner to win the best original song with “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie, and she’ll deliver another rendition of this moving ballad at the Oscars ceremony. She previously won a Grammy and a Golden Globe for co-writing this song with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell.

“I’m Just Ken” from Barbie is also a strong contender for this award, and we’ll get to hear it live during the Oscars. Ryan Gosling, who performed this viral hit in the original film, will bring the Kenergy to the Academy Awards alongside Mark Ronson.

Becky G will take the stage to perform Diane Warren’s “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot, while Jon Batiste will deliver a rendition of “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony. They’ll be joined by Scott George and the Osage Singers, performing “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon.

The 2024 Academy Awards will return to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the show.

After months of anticipation, the Academy Awards nominations are finally in, and some of our favorite artists made it to the best original song field. Songs from Barbie: The Album are leading the way, with “I’m Just Ken”, and “What Was I Made For?” both making the cut.

“What Was I Made For?”, written by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, is one of the main contenders for this award, after winning the Golden Globe in the same category. This duo earned their second nod in the best original song field just two years after winning the Oscar for the James Bond theme song “No Time to Die”.

“What Was I Made For?” will have to face tough competition in the fellow Barbie tune “I’m Just Ken”, written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt and performed by Ryan Gosling. Ronson and Wyatt are also former recipients of the best original song Oscar for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born, which they co-wrote with Lady Gaga and Anthony Rossomando.

The list of nominees in this category will also include “The Fire Inside” by Diane Warren from Flamin’ Hot, “It Never Went Away” by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson from American Symphony, and “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” by Osage Tribal Singers from Killers of the Flower Moon.

The winners will be announced on March 10, when the Academy Awards are set to return to LA’s Dolby Theatre, with Jimmy Kimmel serving as the host.

Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell have given us one of the best songs of the past year with “What Was I Made For?”, and they’re finally reaping the fruits of their labor. This soaring ballad from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie won them their second Golden Globe on Sunday night.

“What Was I Made For?” was one of the tracks in the running for the best original song at this year’s Golden Globes. It was a clear front-runner from the very start, and easily defeated tough competition in the fellow Barbie tracks “Dance the Night” and “I’m Just Ken”, plus Lenny Kravitz’s “Road to Freedom” from Rustin, Bruce Springsteen’s “Addicted to Romance” from She Came to Me, and “Peaches” from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, performed by Jack Black.

To make the whole thing even more impressive, this isn’t the first Golden Globe that the sister-brother duo Eilish and O’Connell won by each other’s side. Just two years ago, they dominated this category with the James Bond theme song “No Time to Die”.

“What Was I Made For?” is currently in the running for five Grammy Awards, including record and song of the year. It also made it to the shortlist for the best original song at the upcoming Academy Awards.
