Billie Eilish and Finneas won the Golden Globe for Best Song — Motion Picture at the 2024 Golden Globes for ‘What Was I Made For?’. It was one of three songs from the Barbie movie that were nominated in the category, along with Dua Lipa’s ‘Dance the Night’ and Ryan Gosling’s ‘I’m Just Ken’. Lenny Kravitz’s ‘Road to Freedom’ from Rustin and Jack Black’s ‘Peaches’ from The Super Mario Bros. Movie were also up for the award.
“I was not expecting this in that moment,” Eilish said in her acceptance speech. “It was exactly a year ago almost that we were shown the movie and I was very miserable and depressed at the time. Writing that song kind of saved me a little bit. A year later, here we are and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful.” After a glance around the room, she added, “You guys scare the living hell out of me, everyone in this room.”
Earlier in the evening, Ludwig Göransson won Best Original Score for Oppenheimer. He beat out Jerskin Fendrix for Poor Things, the late Robbie Robertson for Killers of the Flower Moon, Mica Levi for The Zone of Interest, Daniel Pemberton for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and Joe Hisaishi for The Boy and the Heron.
