\n\tMilli Vanilli<\/a> made Grammy history in 1990 \u2013 in the worst possible way \u2013 when they became the first and only act to have their Grammy revoked. They had won best new artist at the February 1990 ceremony, but lost it nine months later after it was revealed that they didn\u2019t sing a note on their smash album Girl You Know It\u2019s True<\/em>. (They did provide the look and the stage moves, which were probably just as important in their case.) The disgraced duo may find Grammy redemption this year: A music doc about them, Milli Vanilli<\/em>, is among 94 films vying for a nomination for best music film.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tCategories With the Most & Fewest Entries for 2024\u00a0Grammys\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tAs always, it\u2019s a very competitive category. Two films that were on the Oscars\u2019 shortlist of 15 films eligible for best documentary feature (though neither wound up with a nomination) are being considered here \u2014 David Bowie<\/a>\u2019s Moonage Daydream<\/em> and Leonard Cohen<\/a>\u2019s Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen: A Journey, A Song<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt least 20 acts who have albums contending for album of the year nominations are also vying for best music film nods, including several for films that are direct tie-ins to their album counterparts. Boygenius<\/a>\u2019 The Film<\/em> is linked to the trio\u2019s The Record<\/em>. Other films with closely linked eligible albums include Miley Cyrus<\/a>\u2019 Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions<\/em>) and Kelsea Ballerini<\/a>\u2019s Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (A Short Film),<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tThree past winners in this category are on the entry list again this year. Duran Duran<\/a>, whose Duran Duran<\/em> won in 1984, is a contender with A Hollywood High<\/em>. U2<\/a>, the 1995 winners for Zoo TV: Live From Sydney<\/em>, are entered with Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming with Dave Letterman<\/em>; Foo Fighters<\/a>, the 2012 winners for Back & Forth<\/em>, are entered with Preparing Music for Concerts<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe last two winners in this category were Various Artists films \u2013 Summer of Soul<\/em> and Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story<\/em>. Fifteen Various Artists albums are on the entry list this year, including several that document various music scenes: San Francisco Sounds: A Place in Time<\/em>, Meet Me in the Bathroom<\/em> (a journey through the New York music scene of the early 2000s), If These Walls Could Sing<\/em> (the story of Abbey Road studios in London), and two that center on hip-hop: Ladies First: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop<\/em> and Mixtape<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore than a dozen of the films were recorded live. Longtime pals and tour-mates Elton John and Billy Joel are represented with films shot at stadium shows on opposite sides of the country \u2013 Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium<\/em> and Joel\u2019s Live at Yankee Stadium<\/em>, a remixed and reedited version of a film documenting The Piano Man\u2019s 1990 show at the legendary venue. Joel\u2019s original film, produced and directed by Jon Small, received at 1992 nomination in this category. Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium<\/em> is nominated for a Primetime Emmy for outstanding variety special (live).<\/p>\n

\n\tOther live films in the mix include A$AP Rocky\u2019s Amazon Music Live With A$AP Rocky<\/em>, Ellie Goulding\u2019s Monumental: Ellie Goulding at Kew Gardens<\/em>, Guns N\u2019 Roses\u2019 Live in New York<\/em>, Imagine Dragons\u2019 Live in Vegas<\/em>, Carole King\u2019s Home Again \u2013 Live From Central Park, New York City, May 26, 1973<\/em>, Kendrick Lamar\u2019s Live From Paris: The Big Steppers Tour<\/em>, PJ Morton\u2019s Watch the Sun Live: The Mansion Sessions<\/em>, The 1975\u2019s At Their Very Best: Live From Madison Square Garden<\/em>, Sam Smith\u2019s Live at the Royal Albert Hall,<\/em> Stormzy\u2019s Live in London: This Is What We Mean<\/em>, The Weeknd\u2019s Live at SoFi Stadium<\/em> and the multi-artist Encanto Live at the Hollywood Bowl<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tA sobering number of the contenders are by artists who, like Bowie and Cohen, are deceased. These include Louis Armstrong\u2019s Louis Armstrong\u2019s Black and Blues<\/em>, Whitney Houston\u2019s I Go to the Rock: The Gospel Music of Whitney Houston<\/em>, Little Richard\u2019s I Am Everything<\/em>, Tupac Shakur\u2019s Dear Mama<\/em> and Donna Summer\u2019s Love to Love You, Donna Summer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tMilli Vanilli isn\u2019t the only Billboard 200-topping group with one deceased member on the entry list \u2013 Wham! (Wham!<\/em>) and TLC (TLC Forever<\/em>) are also in the running.<\/p>\n

\n\tEDM is well-represented, with Diplo\u2019s Apple Music Sessions: Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley<\/em>, Zedd\u2019s Clarity Orchestral Concert Documentary<\/em> and Illenium\u2019s Starfall<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tJelly Roll, a likely best new artist nominee (and in several other categories) is on the entry list with Save Me.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tTanya Tucker featuring Brandi Carlile\u2019s The Return of Tanya Tucker<\/em>, is also entered. The two stars shared two Grammys four years ago \u2013 best country album for Tucker\u2019s While I\u2019m Livin\u2019<\/em> (which Carlile co-produced) and best country song for \u201cBring My Flowers Now,\u201d which they co-wrote with Phil Hanseroth and Tim Hanseroth.<\/p>\n

\n\tSelena Gomez is a contender with Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me<\/em>. \u201cCalm Down,\u201d Gomez\u2019s collaboration with Rema, would have been a sure-fire record of the year contender \u2014 but it\u2019s not eligible because it came out before the start of the eligibility period.<\/p>\n

\n\tDionne Warwick, whose 1964 classic \u201cWalk on By\u201d is prominently sampled in Doja Cat\u2019s Hot 100-topping \u201cPaint the Town Red,\u201d is a contender with Don\u2019t Make Me Over<\/em>, which draws its title from her 1962 breakthrough hit.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears<\/em> looks at the band that had one of the biggest albums of 1969 (their self-titled set topped the Billboard 200 for seven weeks and won the Grammy for album of the year), but quickly faded.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore films by or about artists that are in contention this year include Travis Scott\u2019s Circus Maximus<\/em>, Jason Isbell\u2019s Running With Our Eyes Closed (Music Box),<\/em> Lizzo\u2019s Love, Lizzo<\/em>, Ed Sheeran\u2019s The Sum of It All<\/em>, Kenny Wayne Shepard\u2019s Trouble Is\u202625: The Film<\/em>, Andrea Bocelli, Matteo Bocelli and Virginia Bocelli\u2019s A Bocelli Family Christmas<\/em>, Wynonna Judd\u2019s Between Hell & Hallelujah<\/em>, Keke Palmer\u2019s Big Boss<\/em> and Chris Stapleton\u2019s Kentucky Rising<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
