Billie Eilish to Perform at the 2022 Oscars
To the surprise of no one, Billie Eilish has been confirmed to perform at the 2022 Academy Awards, during which she’ll play the Oscar-nominated “No Time to Die” with her brother and collaborator FINNEAS. “No Time to Die,” the latest James Bond theme from the film of the same name, is up for Best Original Song. It’s a heavy favorite to pick up the award, having already snagged trophies at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and Grammys. As The Hollywood Reporter points out, the Oscars have a history of awarding Bond themes. Adele’s “Skyfall” from the 2012 movie of the same name was the first one to win the Best Original Song trophy, followed by Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall” from 2015’s Spectre.
