Streep commended the siblings after they were honored at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards.
Meryl Streep didn’t hold back her appreciation for Billie Eilish and Finneas after the two made history at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards on Thursday.
Streep, who was on hand to present the International Star Award to Carey Mulligan, praised the siblings after they accepted an award for the song “What Was I Made For?” off the “Barbie” soundtrack.
“You have delivered the Barbie love bomb,” said Streep of the track from the hit 2023 film.
She continued: “You saved the movies last summer, all of our jobs. You’ve delivered joy to countless generations and genders of people. And you should surf that wave, kids – until you’re old and deserve to be jaded like me.”
Streep’s remarks arrived after Eilish and Finneas became the first songwriters to receive the Chairman’s Award at the ceremony, according to Deadline.
