Which songs have won the Oscar-Grammy double — as Billie Eilish vies to complete the rare feat

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.

Hunk for the holidays: Ryan Gosling says ‘Merry Kristmas Barbie’ in new ‘I’m Just Ken’ rendition
Margot Robbie’s Barbie exposed all of his “blond fragility” on the big screen in the summer blockbuster that brought the iconic Mattel doll to life, it’s “the man behind the tan” — as memorably Kenoughed by Ryan Gosling — who is having the last laugh in 2023.“I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)” — a new holiday rendition of his signature number in Greta Gerwig’s box-office smash — dropped from the hunky heavens on Wednesday.The Yuletide twist arrives just five days before Santa will be delivering Barbies and Kens to little girls and boys all around the (snow) globe.The “Kristmas” makeover of “I’m Just Ken” puts a sweeping, Phil Spector-esque spin on the song that was written by “Barbie” music supervisors Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. And the string-laden setting decks the ditty in seasonal splendor as Gosling ever-so-earnestly sings lines such as “Am I not hot when I’m in my feelings?”Clearly still hopelessly devoted to his dream doll — who leaves him behind for the real world at the end of the film — Gosling ends with, “Merry Kristmas, Barbie / Wherever you are.”The “I’m Just Ken” revamp comes ringing in with a video of the song featuring Ronson and Wyatt.
