It’s taken a long time for Billie Eilish’s “No Time to Die” to reach the Oscars stage. The James Bond theme was released in early 2020; however, because the movie No Time to Die was delayed due to lockdown delaying the film’s release, Eilish’s song didn’t get its Best Original Song nom until this year.
This is a triumphant return to the Oscars stage for Eilish. She and Finneas performed the Beatles’ “Yesterday” in 2020. Later, Eilish said in an interview with Zane Lowe that she felt she’d “bombed” the performance, noting she’d been sick leading up the show.
