‘Barbie’ Soundtrack Sneakily Dominates 2024 Grammy Nominations

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Whether it’s a soundtrack, a score or a song placement, there are countless wrong ways to do music for film and so few ways to make it feel right. There’s very little leeway, which is why it can be so challenging for even the most successful hitmakers to make the transition to film music — especially with a major film event like “Barbie.” To say that the music for the summer blockbuster has been a success is a vast understatement: Not only is the film’s companion album Variety’s Hitmakers Soundtrack of the Year, the music from the film scored a whopping 11 Grammy nominations across seven categories — including song and record of the year — and four of the five entries nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

there may only be one “Barbie.”Margot Robbie, 33, doesn’t think there will be a sequel to the massive summer hit “Barbie.” “I think we put everything into this one,” Robbie recently told the Associated Press when asked about a potential follow-up. “We didn’t build it to be a trilogy or something.”“It was like, Greta [Gerwig] put everything into this movie, so I can’t imagine what would be next,” she added.“Barbie,” which also stars A-listers such as Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Helen Mirren, and America Ferrera, follows the popular Mattel doll (Robbie) as she is forced to journey to the real world after she begins to “malfunction” by developing cellulite and experiencing death anxiety while living in the utopian Barbieland.“I’d say the biggest takeaway for me is that original films can still hit huge at the box office,” “The Wolf of Wall Street” star continued to the AP.

Dua Lipa has said she was “in a massive whirlwind” on learning that she was nominated for two Grammy awards earlier this month.The official Grammys YouTube hosted a livestream earlier this month (November 10) to unveil the nominations, with the winners set to be announced at the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony on February 4, 2024 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. You can see the full list of nominations here.Lipa, who has previously won three Grammys, was nominated for ‘Best Song Written For Visual Media’ for ‘Dance the Night‘ – her song written for summer blockbuster hit Barbie.

Margot Robbie has denied any chances of a potential Barbie sequel.Rumours of a Barbie sequel were first sparked when Robbie gave an interview to TIME, saying she’d been involved in conversations around a potential follow-up film. “It could go a million different directions from this point,” she said at the time.

In a year when Marvel movies are bombing, one that made a billion its first time out of the gate, and the theatrical business feels more vulnerable than ever, an outlier like “Barbie” really lifted the movie industry’s spirits this year. Both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” ruled the summer of 2023 (over blockbusters like “The Flash,” “Mission Impossible 7” and “The Little Mermaid”) and, of course, merged to make the theatrical phenomenon of #BarbieHeimmer.

Queen of Christmas. Barbie and its parent company Mattel have come under fire after releasing a “poorly-timed” advertisement promoting the brand-new Mariah Carey doll mere hours after the doll sold out at official retailers. The doll, which features Carey’s iconic blonde hair and sparkly red dress from her “All I Want for Christmas” music video, was released to the general public on Friday and immediately snatched up by those looking to make a profit on the highly coveted toy.

Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story 36 years before Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster phenomenon.A 43-minute short film made at Bard College in New York State, Superstar depicts scenes from the life of the 1970s pop star using the children’s toys instead of real-life actors.Charting the rise and fall of Carpenter, who died from the eating disorder anorexia nervosa in 1983, Haynes’ controversial film uses the stick-thin dolls to emphasise Carpenter’s frailty and was banned after a copyright claim from the Carpenter estate. It contains uncleared Carpenters tracks throughout and also makes claims about the sexuality of Karen’s brother Richard.Superstar has become a cult curio since then and Haynes, though he hasn’t seen Barbie, told NME in an exclusive interview that he’s pretty sure Gerwig is familiar with it.“I love Greta Gerwig.

The indie-darling super-group boygenius and the perennially relevant Janelle Monáe round out the group.It's a similar list for the Record of the Year Grammy nominations, with Batiste again the sole male in the group.
