Eilish and Finneas beat the likes of Beyoncé, Van Morrison, Reba McEntire and Lin-Manuel Miranda to the trophy. Eilish is now reportedly the youngest person to win the “triple crown” of film music, having won an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe for ‘No Time To Die’.

Collecting the prize, Eilish said between laughter: “This is so unbelievable I could scream.” She continued to thank the team behind the latest Bond movie, No Time To Die, highlighting one of their collaborators. “Johnny Marr for taking our song and making it worthy of James Bond,” she said.

The pair also performed ‘No Time To Die’ at the event, backed by string players and percussionists. As Eilish sang from the centre of the stage, laser-like beams of light moved slowly around her.

Other performances on the night came from Beyoncé, who performed King Richard’s ‘Be Alive’ from the tennis courts of Compton, and a surprise appearance from Megan Thee Stallion, who joined a rendition of Encanto’s ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’.
