Black Panther Wins Two Grammys

Well, all eyes are on the Oscars now, as the superheroic underdog Black Panther took home two Grammys for its score last night.

With both King’s Dead by Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Future & James Blake taking home Best Rap Performance, and the film’s official score winning Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, the feature held its own in a night dominated by contemporary titans Kacey Musgraves and Childish Gambino (who each took home four wins apiece).

The Marvel Studios production is nominated for seven Academy Awards, including a surprise nod for Best Picture. Black Panther’s soundtrack is nominated for Best Original Score, and the Kendrick Lamar, SZA collaboration All the Stars – which features as the film’s initial credits song – is up for Best Original Song.

The 91st annual Academy Awards will be presented at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, and will air live on the 24th of February US time, and early on the 25th for those in the UK.
