The Grammy-winning siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell now have their eyes set on the 2022 Academy Awards. The two young siblings are confirmed to perform at the Oscars award show, while they are also competing against other nominees to secure their musical Academy Award. 

The duo is scheduled to perform No Time to Die, the titular song from the James Bond film of the same name. They will be joined by other artists for the 94th Oscars celebration on Sunday night. 

Billie Eilish and Finneas are first-time nominees for an Oscar award. The young musicians are just 20 and 24 years old, respectively. Fans are already sure that the hit duo will take home the prize this year. 

Additionally, the celebs have already secured big wins during popular awards events like Golden Globe, Critics Choice, Grammy, and Society of Composers and Lyricists prizes.

Apart from the genius of the sister and brother pair, James Bond movies have done well at the Oscars. Previously, the film franchise grabbed the honor for the 2012 Skyfall song by Adele from the movie Skyfall.

Then Sam Smith took the honor home with his song Writing's on the Wall in 2015 from the film Spectre.  

Apart from the song by Billie Eilish and Finneas, other Oscar nominee songs will also be performed at the awards event. There will be four performances by Oscar nominees this year that will be telecast along with the awards show. 

Beyonce, also known as Queen Bey is confirmed to perform Be Alive from King Richard. Then there will be Reba McEntire who will perform Somehow You Do. The song is from the film Four Good Days. 

The Encanto song Dos Oruguitas by Lin-Manuel Miranda will be performed by Sebastian Yatra. Another Oscar nominee, Van Morrison was also invited to perform his nominated song Down to Joy Belfast. But due to a scheduling conflict, the singer will not be able to make it to perform his song at the awards ceremony. 

Yatra will come to the Oscars stage for the first time with a performance. However, the artists have already proved their skill on the Academy Awards stage before. 

The sibling duo, Billie Eilish and Finneas had performed the song Yesterday by the Beatles onstage during the In Memorium segment of the show two years ago. 

McEntire had also graced the stage earlier back in 1991. He performed his nominated song "I'm Checkin' Out" from the film Postcards from the Edge. 

Beyonce herself is not new to the Oscars stage and is almost a favorite of the Academy Award organizer. She had performed on the stage three times by now, singing three of her five best original song nominations. 

These nominations were “Learn to Be Lonely” from The Phantom of the Opera, and “Believe” from The Polar Express, which she performed along with Josh Groban. The others are “Vois sur ton Chemin ( Look to Your Path )” from The Chorus. The song was performed on the stage with American Boychoir.

In 2007 alone, she was given the honor to perform three of the nominated songs from her film Dreamgirls. She carried the performance along with Jennifer Hudson, who is also her co-star in the film. She won an Oscar for her stunning performance. 

They paired together to perform “Love You I Do” and “Listen” and were later joined by Keith Robinson and Anika Noni Rose to perform “Patience.”
