Billie Eilish & Finneas Win Their Second Songwriting Oscar in 3 Years: Who Else Has Done That?

Here are all songwriting teams, or individual songwriters, who have won two Oscars for best original song in the space of three years. Full list.

Eilish and Finneas would be the first songwriting team to win twice in the space of three years since Alan Menken& Howard Ashman, who won in 1990 for “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid and in 1992 with the title song from Beauty and the Beast. Notes: Bob Hope sang “Buttons and Bows” in The Paleface, in which he starred, but Dinah Shore (backed by Her Happy Valley Boys) had the biggest hit recording of the song. An uncredited troubadour sang “Mona Lisa” in Captain Carey, U.S.A., which starred Alan Ladd, but Nat “King” Cole had the biggest hit with it.
