Ludwig Göransson is predicted to win his second Best Original Score Oscar this year thanks to his suitably intense arrangements for Oppenheimer; his first win came in 2019 for Black Panther. The Swedish composer has already won Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for the same projects at the GRAMMYs. But it's in the realm of socially conscious h...
Finneas O'Connell might have eight fewer GRAMMY nominations than his sister (Billie Eilish), but he does have one more win under his belt. Indeed, having masterminded Eilish's blockbuster breakthrough, 2019's When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, and hit the studio with artists such as Tate McRae, Camila Cabello, and Selena Gomez, the Californi...
Mark Ronson first caught GRAMMYs attention for his behind-the-scenes efforts, winning Best Pop Vocal Album, Record Of The Year, and Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical in 2008 for his work on Amy Winehouse's seminal Back to Black.

- Alt-pop s inger-songwriter overlap (and burnout?). Pop singer-songwriters (with a little bit of alternative edge) have triumphed in album of the year for each of the past two years, with Taylor Swift’s Folklore taking home top honors in 2021 and Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
- Wide-ranging demographic ownership. We also sometimes forget as music fans — particularly mainstream, pop-oriented music fans — that it’s not just pop-world Recording Academy members who vote in these awards.
