For days, music fans were wondering: what would Eilish, fresh off a Grammys sweep, be doing at the Oscars? Instead of dominating another awards ceremony, the pop superstar and her older brother Finneas offered a tastefully understated performance of the Beatles’ “Yesterday” during the In Memoriam segment, Eilish’s voice gracefully catching as the faces of Kirk Douglas, Doris Day, Peter Fonda and several other screen giants flashed behind her on the big screen. Another smart touch: Kobe Bryant, an Oscar winner, was the first face that appeared during the segment.
