‘Barbie’ Scores 11 Grammy Noms, Including Record Of Year & Two For Song Of Year

The biggest movie of 2023 just keeps rockin’ and rollin’.

Barbie danced away with a marvy 11 Grammy nominations today, including Record and Song of the Year for Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” and Song of the Year for Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night.” Those tracks also will vie for Best Song Written for Visual Media against two other cuts from the blockbuster pic: Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” and “Barbie World” by Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice featuring Aqua.

That pink quartet will vie for the hardware against Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up,” from the 2022 smash Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The doll’s haul also includes noms for Best Score Soundtrack and Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, along with mentions for Best Rap Song (“Barbie World”) and Pop Solo Performance (“What Was I Made For?”).

Elsewhere among the movie- and TV-focused categories, 91-year-old composing legend John Williams will compete against himself for Score Soundtrack for Visual Media with The Fabelmans and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Another 2023 blockbuster, Oppenheimer, will vie for Best Score Soundtrack against the Williams duo and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Note that the older pics are nominated because the Grammys‘ eligibility year ran October 1, 2022-September 15, 2023.

The other Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media nominees are albums for Daisy Jones & The Six, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3: Awesome Mix, Vol. 3 and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

Three late legends highlight the Best Music Film category as documentaries about David Bowie (Moonage Daydream), Little Richard (I Am Everything) and Tupac Shakur (Dear Mama) compete against the Kendrick Lamar concert film Live From Paris, The Big Steppers Tour and the Lewis Capadli doc How I’m Feeling Now.

And let’s just say it’s a safe bet that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé will lead the list for that category next year.
