#FIRSTLOOK: BILLIE EILISH “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D)” CONCERT FILM COMING MATCH 2026

Last night in San Francisco — on the final show of her sold-out global HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR — Billie Eilish announced the March 20, 2026 global release date of her highly anticipated concert film.

Presented in 3D and directed by Academy Award® winners James Cameron (Avatar: Fire and Ash) and Billie Eilish, the concert film was captured during Eilish’s sold-out world tour.

A two-time Oscar® and nine-time Grammy Award winner, Eilish is among the most celebrated and successful artists of her generation and consistently ranks among the most-streamed performers in the world.

#OSCARS: “OPPENHEIMER” LEADS THE WAY WITH SEVEN WINS

Awards season officially has wrapped with the 96th Academy Awards having taken place at Dolby Theatre. Though OPPENHEIMER was pitted much against BARBIE this past Summer at the Box Office, alas it would be the one to dominate Awards Season, taking home seven Oscars, including the ultimate crown of Best Picture. Other wins for the Blockbuster include Directing (Christopher Nolan), Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema), Best Original Score (Ludwig Göransson) and Best Editing (Jennifer Lame).

Yorgos Lanthimos’ POOR THINGS also would go on to glory, taking home four Oscars including Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Production Design (Production Design: James Price and Shona Heath; Set Decoration: Zsuzsa Mihalek), Best Makeup & Hairstyling (Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier and Josh Weston) and Best Costume Design (Holly Waddington). Stone has the distinction of becoming the thirteenth Actress to win a second Oscar.

Jimmy Kimmel returned as host for the fourth time, drawing raves from the audience, capped-off by a clap back at former President Donald Trump who posted negative remarks about Kimmel online. Kimmel replied, “Thank you President Trump for watching. Isn’t it past your jail time?”, which was met with laughs and cheers.

While BARBIE was no match for OPPENHEIMER, it still took home gold for Best Original Song with Finneas & Billie Eilish‘s “What Was I Made For“, and a showstopping performance of “I’m Just Ken” by Ryan Gosling was a dazzling spectable, to be talked about for many years to come.
