Ahead of possibly scooping up some Oscars, Black Panther first made a stop at the Grammy Awards Sunday night, where the film won two awards.
One was for the filmâs Ludwig GĂśransson-composed score, and the second was for best rap performance. âKing Deadâ by Kendrick Lamar (who produced the soundtrack), Jay Rock and Future won the latter, tying with Anderson.Paakâs âBubblin.â
The filmâs first of two wins went to its score, which was composed by Ludwig GĂśransson and serves as the Swedish composerâs third cinematic collaboration with Black Panther director Ryan Coogler. The film got eight nods for the soundtrack, including album, record and song of the year.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the movieâs film supervisor says that Lamar was only going to contribute one song but was commissioned to the entire album after the chemistry between the rapper and Ryan Coogler formed. “We had one meeting with Kendrick and we knew in that meeting that he understood what we were trying to do. He and [director] Ryan Coogler were having a completely different connection than you normally get in those kinds of meetings. They understood each other on a different level.”
Weâll learn if Black Panther picks up any Oscar wins on February 24.
