    Just saw this news on my feed, congrats. I had no idea there was going to be a Grammys this year. I don't follow modern music so have no idea who Billie was up against.

    So is Billie likely to win the Oscar assuming that's taking place?

    Looks like it hasn't been nominated. There might be some sort of eligibility thing though: I guess it makes sense for the Oscars to only allow nominations for films which have actually been released! :)
    So maybe next year..?

    It isn't be eligible for this years Oscars, but will be next year, provided it keeps the current release date.

    Good point, I did not think that question through.

    Billie may set a new record winning a Oscar several years after winning a Grammy for the same song ;)

    Not to mention that the song came out prior to the previous (2020) Grammy ceremony!

    Ha! Yes; it's quite funny that her song from a 2021 film(maybe!) was up against a song from a 2019 film (Cats) as it is! :)

    I remember buying the single it seems a very long time ago now, I suspect the song will get another re release prior to the film opening.

    Yes thats an interesting thought; I wonder if it will? I can kind of imagine them not releasing it again to be honest, but maybe she'll add a B-side or something.

    The film simply coming out would be enough to give it a boost.

    Cary posted the video with Billie's and Finneas reaction after they won, and wrote the following:

    "So proud of these two. The first time I heard the demo was on a hectic set and despite all the chaos, I felt chills. It was a recording made in the back of a bus in some part of Texas, soon though you’ll hear it in the cinema in all its glory and hope you’ll feel the chills too"

    Hoping this is a good omen for NTTD like Adele was for SF!!! :-bd

    This one performing Live At Let Die (from 2015) around 0.22-0.23 sound a bit like cue that Hans Zimmer get inspiration from for NTTD.

    I don't think I've listened to Billie Eilish sing NTTD since around the time it originally came out. I'm not really a fan of Ms.Eilish, however I really do like this song. As a singer she's certainly growing on me, very good voice. But better still, she has a massive fan base. Easily better than Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall. Though that's not really an achievement.

    I think this is a clsssic bond theme. And the orchestrated version with the four repeated rising notes is very evocative of Barry

    Good idea to combine the song with images from "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (2005):

    Will they rerelease it in any way? I guess it's hard to do that with streaming- they never go away.

    Best chance for it to reach the charts again is right when the film comes out and interest is increased.

    Gotta get that FYC campaign going after the film comes out to get that Original Song Oscar!

    I think the song has a strong chance of winning an Oscar. She’s been on an awards streak much like Adele was a decade ago. Once she has an Oscar under her belt that completes her infinity gauntlet to snap haters out of existence. ;)
