The Oscars air on ABC Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, and Billie Eilish<\/strong> and her brother FINNEAS<\/strong> are favorites to take home their second Best Original Song trophy for “What Was I Made For<\/strong><\/a>?” from\u00a0Barbie.<\/em> Billie told ABC News that when director Greta Gerwig<\/strong>\u00a0approached them for the project, she had no idea how emotional the movie would be.<\/p>\n

“When I first heard of it, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be all fun and pink,'” Billie laughed. “And then Greta kinda explained it and I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’ And then she showed it to us, and we were like, ‘Ohhhhh. OK.<\/em>‘”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In particular, Billie said the scene where Margot Robbie<\/strong>‘s Barbie sits on a bench at a bus stop and talks to an old woman “really got me,” adding, “It made me [go], like, ‘Ohhh, this is so much more than we all think.'”<\/p>\n

Other scenes that inspired Billie and FINNEAS included\u00a0America Ferrara<\/strong>‘s iconic speech<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and the scene where Ruth Handler<\/strong>, played by Rhea Perlman<\/strong>, tells Barbie to “feel.”<\/p>\n

“There was just no world that we wouldn’t have been inspired by that and written that song,” said Billie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If they do win, the siblings are old hat at how to handle their little golden guys.<\/p>\n

“At award shows sometimes, they give you an award and it’s kind of a fake one. And then they send you the real one months later,” she says. “But with the Oscars … they give you that award right then and you are holding it the whole entire night. You go engrave it [at the after-party].”<\/p>\n

“And it’s also like a million pounds,” she laughs. “It’s really, really heavy … I was walking around the after-party, swinging it around and making everybody hold it.”<\/p>\n
