Hollywood Stars Shine in 2026 Grammy Nominations

Several Hollywood stars are among those nominated at the 68th annual Grammy Awards. Nominations were revealed by the Recording Academy on Friday. The ceremony will air live on February 1.

This year’s list features a notable influx of actors recognized for their work in comedy and audio projects. Their inclusion highlights the growing crossover between film, television, and music industries.

Comedy Album Category Features Major Star Power

Jamie Foxx received a nomination for best comedy album. His Netflix special What Had Happened Was… earned the nod. This marks his tenth Grammy nomination overall.

Ali Wong and Nate Bargatze are first-time nominees in the same category. Both comedians were recognized for their hit Netflix specials. Sarah Silverman and Bill Burr round out the category with their own streaming projects.

According to Reuters, this category demonstrates the power of streaming platforms. Services like Netflix and Hulu have become primary distributors for comedy content. This shift has broadened the audience for nominated works.

Spoken Word and Soundtrack Nominations Expand Reach

The best spoken word category also features familiar faces. Actor Omari Hardwick earned a nomination for his collaborative project Pages with singer Anthony Hamilton. They are competing against a diverse field of artists and musicians.

In soundtrack categories, Timothée Chalamet scored his first Grammy nod. He is nominated for best compilation soundtrack for his performance in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. This category also includes music from major films like Wicked.

Trevor Noah earned his fourth nomination, this time for a children’s audiobook. His work competes against projects by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and the Dalai Lama. This showcases the category’s wide-ranging scope.

The 2026 Grammy nominations underscore the evolving nature of artistic recognition. These Hollywood Grammy nominations prove that compelling audio content comes from many sources. The awards ceremony will be a must-watch event this February.
