Best Movie Song: Billie Eilish and Finneas win Golden Globe for “No Time To Die”

The Golden Globes were awarded on Sunday (January 9th) – one of the biggest film awards in Hollywood. However, due to the corona pandemic and allegations against the award ceremony regarding a lack of diversity, the Globes took place without the nominees and without television broadcasting. Billie Eilish and her brother and producer Finneas O’Connell won the award for the best film song with the title song of the new James Bond film “No Time To Die”. This greatly increased their chances of winning an Oscar.

Hans Zimmer won the award for the best film music

The other nominated film songs that Eilish and O’Connell beat out with “No Time To Die” were “Be Alive” from the movie King Richard, “Here I Am (Singing My Way Home)” from “Respect.” ‘, ‘Dos Orugitas’ from the animated film ‘Encanto’ and ‘Down to Joy’ from ‘Belfast’. Hans Zimmer won the award for the best film music for his soundtrack to the science fiction blockbuster “Dune” – it is the third Golden Globe for the 64-year-old.

As reported by Billboard, six of the last ten Golden Globe winners for the best film song went on to receive an Oscar. In the case of the best soundtrack, it’s even seven out of ten. The previous two James Bond theme songs Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall” and Adele’s “Skyfall” also won both a Golden Globe and an Oscar. This made it the first two songs for a James Bond film to receive this honor.
