When Billie Eilish performs at the Oscars next Monday, she will follow a long line of music superstars — like Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Adele — who have graced the famed Hollywood stage.
There's only one pop luminary, however, who's dominated the awards show so completely in a single year: Beyoncé.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the amazingly Bey-centric Oscars, which touched down in Los Angeles on February 27th, 2005.
Million Dollar Baby and The Aviator were the evening's big winners, but perhaps the most show-stopping presence was Beyoncé, who performed not one, not two, but three of the numbers nominated for Best Original Song — despite not originally singing any of them.
At the time, Beyoncé had begun the dissolution of Destiny's Child and released one solo album.
Beyoncé was, of course, also in a high-profile relationship with Jay-Z, whom she'd gone public with the year prior.
Beyoncé would go on to perform at the Oscars two more times: In 2007, she joined her Dreamgirls co-stars for a medley of the flick's three nominated numbers, and in 2009, she joined host Hugh Jackman for an epic parade of movie musical hits.
