Actor and former stand-up comic Lily Tomlin took home a Grammy for best comedy recording in 1972 for her album "This Is A Recording." The album features her performance as telephone operator Ernestine, one of the most iconic characters she created.

Tomlin has been nominated a total of five times.

Since 1978, actor and comedian Steve Martin has won a total of five Grammys. In addition to two awards for best comedy album, Martin, who is also a bluegrass musician, has garnered a handful of music awards for his country and roots tunes.

Most recently, Martin's track "Love Has Come For You" won a Grammy for best American roots song at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in 2014. He was also nominated in 2015 and 2017.

Johnson won a spoken-word Grammy at the 35th Annual Awards for "What You Can Do to Avoid AIDS." The basketball legend, who announced in 1991 that he had been diagnosed with HIV, has been a vocal advocate for HIV/AIDS prevention and education.

"Garden State," Zach Braff's 2004 directorial debut, attracted a cult following. Part of the film's appeal is its indie-driven soundtrack, which earned Braff, who starred in the movie with Natalie Portman, a Grammy at the 47th award show.

Clinton won his first Grammy in 2004 in the category of best spoken-word album for children for his narration of "Peter and the Wolf: Wolf Tracks." He won another Grammy for the audiobook narration of his memoir, "My Life," in 2005.

He was nominated twice more for narrating his subsequent books, "Giving: How Each Of Us Can Change The World" and "Back To Work: Why We Need Smart Government For A Strong Economy."

Hillary Rodham Clinton won a spoken-word Grammy in 1997 for "It Takes a Village," her non-fiction book about the future of children in America.

She was nominated again in the same category in 2004 for her White House memoir, "Living History."

For someone whose musical career is predicated on parody, "Weird Al" has made it big. In fact, the singer, who is known for hits like "Eat It" and "eBay," has five Grammys and 17 nominations to his name.

Late-night host Stephen Colbert has won two Grammys out of his three nominations.

At the 52nd Grammy Awards in 2010, Colbert won best comedy album for "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!" Then, at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in 2014, the recording of his book "America Again: Re-becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't" won a spoken-word award.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches made American history, but you might not know that the minister and activist was posthumously awarded a Grammy. In 1971, King was honored with a spoken word award for his anti-war speech "Why I Oppose the War in Vietnam."

Two of his more famous addresses, "I Have a Dream" and "We Shall Overcome," were also nominated for Grammys.

Former President Barack Obama won spoken-word Grammys for narrating the recordings of his books "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." He was nominated again in 2022 for narrating the audiobook of his presidential memoir, "A Promised Land."

The former first lady's audiobook for her memoir "Becoming" won a spoken-word Grammy award in 2020. She won again in 2024 for "The Light We Carry."

Filmmaker Orson Welles won three spoken-word Grammys. The first was for "Great American Documents," for which he read the Declaration of Independence. He also won the award for his masterpiece "Citizen Kane" and for the sci-fi radio play "Donovan's Brain."

In 1994, American poet Maya Angelou won her first spoken-word Grammy award for "On the Pulse of Morning," which she wrote for Bill Clinton's inauguration. She also won the award for her poetry collection "Phenomenal Woman" and for the autobiography "A Song Flung Up to Heaven."

Betty White won a Grammy at the 54th Annual Awards in 2012. The "Golden Girls" actor received a spoken-word award for her autobiography, "If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won't)."

At the 60th Annual Awards in 2018, Carrie Fisher was posthumously awarded a spoken-word Grammy for her memoir, "The Princess Diarist."

Joaquin Phoenix starred in the 2005 musical biopic "Walk the Line" as Johnny Cash. Phoenix's portrayal of the country singer earned him a Grammy for best compilation soundtrack for visual media.

The former president has won Grammys for best spoken-word album for three of his books: "Faith — A Journey For All," "A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety" and "Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis."

Carter, who died at the age of 100 in December, is nominated again at the 2025 Grammys for the audiobook "Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration."

Despite being one of this century's most creative, consistent, and culturally significant album artists, Queen Bey has never won the top prize at the Grammys.

She was nominated in 2010 for "I Am... Sasha Fierce," 2015 for "Beyoncé," 2017 for "Lemonade," and 2023 for "Renaissance," but lost to Taylor Swift, Beck, Adele, and Harry Styles, respectively.

In fact, out of Beyoncé's record-breaking 32 wins, only one has been in a general-field category: song of the year for "Single Ladies" in 2010.

Save for his debut, all of Kendrick Lamar's studio albums have been contenders for the biggest Grammy Award: "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City," "To Pimp a Butterfly," "Damn," and most recently, "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers."

He has won best rap album three times — not to mention a Pulitzer Prize — but never album of the year. 

Mariah Carey has been named Billboard's top-selling female artist of all time. As of writing, she boasts 19 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 — just one shy of the all-time record set by The Beatles — and is the only artist to top the chart in four separate decades.

Yet Carey has lost all three of her bids for album of the year. She received her first nomination in 1991 for her self-titled LP but lost to Quincy Jones.

She was later nominated for "Daydream" in 1996 and "The Emancipation of Mimi" in 2006, but lost to Alanis Morissette and U2, respectively.

Just two albums in Drake's record-breaking catalog have been up for album of the year: "Views" in 2017 and "Scorpion" in 2019. They lost to "25" by Adele and "Golden Hour" by Kacey Musgraves, respectively.

Although Drake has criticized the ceremony's relevance — both onstage and on social media — he resumed submitting his music for consideration with the 2022 album "Her Loss," which received four nods, but only in rap categories.

"4:44" is the only album in Jay-Z's legendary oeuvre that has been up for album of the year.

Jay-Z has been nominated five other times as a contributor or producer on other people's albums ("Tha Carter III," "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City," "Beyoncé," "Donda," and "Renaissance"), but he didn't win any of those, either.

In 2024, Jay-Z openly criticized the Recording Academy's history of snubs during his acceptance speech for the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.

Rihanna has largely pivoted to business ventures in recent years, but for several years, she was a hit-making machine.

During Rihanna's reign over the charts, only "Loud" was nominated for album of the year.

Her eighth and most acclaimed album to date, "Anti," somehow wasn't up for the award, despite racking up six other nominations in 2017, including best urban contemporary album.

Eminem received his first nod for album of the year in 2001 for "The Marshall Mathers LP," but lost to "Two Against Nature" by Steely Dan." 

He has been nominated two more times, in 2003 for "The Eminem Show" and in 2011 for "Recovery," but lost to Norah Jones and Arcade Fire, respectively.

Björk has only received nods in genre-specific categories — most recently best alternative music album for "Fossora" in 2023 — but has lost all 16 of her nominations.

Bruce Springsteen is one of the biggest winners in Grammy history with 20 awards, but he has still never won album of the year. 

The Boss has been nominated just twice: in 1985 for "Born in the U.S.A." and in 2003 for "Rising." (Shockingly, he got no love for "Nebraska.")

Lauryn Hill took home the biggest Grammy Award in 1999 for "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," becoming the first hip-hop artist to do so.

Many of Madonna's groundbreaking albums, including "Like a Prayer," "Erotica," and "Confessions on a Dance Floor," never received a nod for album of the year — or, for that matter, a nod in any of the high-profile general-field categories.

Nirvana received just five Grammy nominations during Kurt Cobain's lifetime, and none were in the "Big Four" categories.

The groundbreaking band won just one award: best alternative music performance for "MTV Unplugged in New York," bestowed nearly one year after Cobain's death.

Incredibly, Prince lost both of his bids for album of the year. "Purple Rain" was bested by Lionel Richie's "Can't Slow Down" in 1985, while "Sign o' the Times" lost to U2's "The Joshua Tree" in 1988.

David Bowie's "Let's Dance" lost to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in 1984.

Many of Bowie's most inventive and beloved albums, including "Hunky Dory," "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars," and "Station to Station," didn't get any Grammy nominations at all.

Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" has been hailed as the best album of all time, but it didn't get a chance to compete for album of the year.

Gaye only won two Grammys in his lifetime — best R&B vocal performance and best R&B instrumental performance for "Sexual Healing" in 1983 — but was never nominated in a major category. He was posthumously given the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.

It's hard to believe that Pink Floyd's seminal concept record lost to Christopher Cross, who swept the "Big Four" categories in 1981 with his self-titled album.

Cross became the only artist in Grammys history to win all four general-field awards on the same night and remained the only artist to do so for nearly four decades until Billie Eilish joined the ranks in 2020. He never won another.

Meanwhile, Pink Floyd never received another nomination for album of the year. The band only took home one award for best rock instrumental performance.

Only one album by the best-selling British band has ever been up for album of the year: "Some Girls" in 1979. It was their first-ever Grammy nomination, and they have yet to compete for the top prize again.

In fact, The Rolling Stones have only won three Grammys to date, and none in a major category.

Elton John received his first nod for album of the year in 1971 for his self-titled LP, but lost to Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

He has been nominated two more times, for "Caribou" in 1975 and "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" in 1976, but lost to Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon, respectively. 

Before her death in 2018, Aretha Franklin, the renowned "Queen of Soul," won 18 Grammys out of 44 nominations.

Franklin was also honored with the Recording Academy's Grammy Legend Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, and the MusiCares Person of the Year award in 1991, 1994, and 2008, respectively. Five of her songs, including her beloved cover of Otis Redding's "Respect," have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Despite these accolades, Franklin never received a nomination in a general-field category like album, record, or song of the year. She received just two nominations for best R&B album for "A Rose Is Still A Rose" and "So Damn Happy," but lost both.

Year: 2009 at the 51st annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Duffy, Jazmine Sullivan, the Jonas Brothers, Lady Antebellum

Adele first earned Grammy recognition thanks to the release of her debut studio album, "19," and breakout hit, "Chasing Pavements." Both surged in popularity in the US following her stellar performance on "Saturday Night Live."

Adele was nominated for four Grammys in 2009, winning two for best new artist and best female pop vocal performance.

Today, Adele has won 16 Grammys out of 25 nominations, including album of the year twice.

Her third album, "25," became the first in history to sell more than 3 million copies in its first week in the US. She has also been dubbed the UK's best-selling female artist of the 21st century.

Year: 2007 at the 49th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Chris Brown, Corinne Bailey Rae, Imogen Heap, James Blunt

Carrie Underwood rose to fame after winning the fourth season of "American Idol" in 2005. Her debut album, "Some Hearts," was released that same year and became one of the best-selling country albums in history.

She won both of her Grammy nominations at the following ceremony for best new artist and best female country vocal performance for "Jesus, Take the Wheel."

Underwood has become one of country's biggest stars with massive crossover appeal. In 2015, she was named the top-selling digital artist in country music. In 2020, she won entertainer of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, becoming the first woman to do so three times.

More recently, Underwood sparked headlines (and backlash) for performing at President Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration.

"I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event," she told Business Insider via a representative. "I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future."

Year: 2006 at the 48th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Ciara, Fall Out Boy, Keane, Sugarland

John Legend's debut album, "Get Lifted," scored him three Grammys for best new artist, best R&B album, and best male R&B vocal performance for "Ordinary People."

Nearly two decades later, Legend has been nominated for 39 Grammys and won 12.

He has also won an Oscar for his work on the movie "Selma," a Tony for the best revival of a play, "Jitney," and most recently, an Emmy for producing "Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert" — making him the first Black man in history to achieve EGOT status.

Year: 2005 at the 47th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Gretchen Wilson, Joss Stone, Kanye West, Los Lonely Boys

The success of Maroon 5's debut was enduring enough to earn them a best new artist trophy — two full years after the album would've been eligible.

"Songs About Jane" was released in June 2002 and wasn't nominated for any Grammys in 2003. But the album and its hit singles — "Harder To Breathe," "She Will Be Loved," "This Love," and "Sunday Morning" — were still making enough waves to earn the band a best new artist nomination in 2004 and a subsequent win in 2005. The album went quadruple-platinum that same year.

Maroon 5 has remained one of the most prominent bands of the 21st century, clocking 15 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, four No. 1 singles, and two No. 1 albums. In 2019, they headlined the Super Bowl halftime show.

Year: 2002 at the 44th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: David Gray, India.Arie, Linkin Park, Nelly Furtado

Alicia Keys' debut album, "Songs in A Minor," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned the singer a whopping five Grammys out of six nominations. She earned best new artist and best R&B album, plus song of the year, best female R&B vocal performance, and best R&B song for "Fallin.'"

Keys has now won 16 Grammys out of 32 nominations and even hosted the awards show twice.

She has also received the Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and she's been included on Time's list of the 100 most influential people twice, in 2005 and 2017. Billboard dubbed Keys the top-selling R&B/hip-hop artist of the 2000s decade.

Year: 2000 at the 42nd annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Britney Spears, Kid Rock, Macy Gray, Susan Tedeschi

Christina Aguilera appeared on "Star Search" at age 11 and "The Mickey Mouse Club" as a young teen. She shot to stardom in 1999 with "Genie in a Bottle," the lead single from her self-titled debut album.

Aguilera won best new artist the following year, her first of five Grammys to date.

In 2010, Rolling Stone ranked Aguilera as the 58th greatest singer of all time. She boasts a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and recently completed a residency in Las Vegas following the release of her favorably reviewed eighth studio album, 2018's "Liberation."

Year: 1995 at the 37th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Ace of Base, Counting Crows, Crash Test Dummies, Green Day

Sheryl Crow released her debut, "Tuesday Night Music Club," in 1993.

The album gained traction in 1994 after the runaway success of its third single, "All I Wanna Do," which earned Grammys for record of the year and best female pop vocal performance, alongside Crow's best new artist trophy.

Crow has now won nine Grammys out of 32 nominations — although she has recently expressed dissatisfaction with the voting process.

Per reliable estimates, Crow's albums have sold over 50 million copies worldwide. Though she previously said 2019's "Threads" would be her last, Crow released "Evolution" in 2024, one year after she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Year: 1991 at the 33rd annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: The Black Crowes, The Kentucky Headhunters, Lisa Stansfield, Wilson Phillips

Mariah Carey's self-titled debut was nominated for five Grammys, including every Big Four award. Of those, she only won best new artist, in addition to best female pop vocal performance for "Vision of Love."

Carey has achieved astronomical success throughout her career. She claims 19 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including three of the longest leaders in the chart's history, and six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200.

Billboard has crowned Carey the top female solo artist of all time.

Year: 1974 at the 16th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Eumir Deodato, Barry White, Marie Osmond, Maureen McGovern

Bette Midler won best new artist on the heels of her debut album, 1972's "The Divine Miss M," coproduced by Barry Manilow.

As noted on the Grammy website, Midler was "on her way to becoming a huge star with her racy and flamboyant stage act."

Midler has since won two more Grammys, including record of the year for "Wind Beneath My Wings," four Golden Globes, three Emmys, and two Tonys. She is renowned for her performances in Broadway shows like "Fiddler On the Roof" and "Hello, Dolly!" and movies like "The Rose" and "The First Wives Club."

Year: 1972 at the 14th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Bill Withers, Chase, Emerson, Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, Lake & Palmer

Carly Simon won best new artist after the success of her self-titled debut solo album, which included her first top 10 hit, "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be."

Simon is widely seen as one of the "quintessential singer/songwriters of the '70s." She went on to release 13 top 40 hits, including the No. 1 classic "You're So Vain," which has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Simon herself was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994.

Year: 1965 at the 7th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Petula Clark, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Morgana King

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr made their US debut with "Meet the Beatles!" in 1964, which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

The following year, the band won two Grammys out of four nominations: best new artist and best performance by a vocal group for "A Hard Day's Night."

Obviously, the rest is history. The Beatles went on to earn seven Grammys, a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and 20 No. 1 hit songs, more than any other artist. The band has been dubbed the best-selling artist of all time.

Year: 2013 at the 55th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Alabama Shakes, Frank Ocean, Hunter Hayes, The Lumineers

In addition to best new artist, the pop band Fun (stylized as fun.) won song of the year for "We Are Young" featuring Janelle Monáe. They were even nominated for album of the year for "Some Nights," their sophomore effort.

"Some Nights" ended up being Fun's last album. In early 2015, the bandmates announced they were going on indefinite hiatus and have yet to reunite. These days, Fun feels less like a band and more like a weird blip in Jack Antonoff's prolific career.

Year: 2011 at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Justin Bieber, Drake, Florence and the Machine, Mumford & Sons

Esperanza Spalding is the only jazz artist who has ever won best new artist. Her victory was controversial due to her four strong competitors, all of whom went on to greater fame and chart success.

Spalding has released many albums and enjoyed critical acclaim over the years, but remained largely under the mainstream radar.

Year: 2001 at the 43rd annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Brad Paisley, Jill Scott, Papa Roach, Sisqó

Shelby Lynne had been a recording artist for more than a decade when she won her first Grammy. Her sixth album, "I Am Shelby Lynne," was seen as her breakthrough project and she was deemed eligible for best new artist.

Best new artist remains Lynne's only Grammy Award. She has released 10 more albums since then, though none have achieved widespread commercial success.

Year: 1998 at the 40th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Erykah Badu, Fiona Apple, Hanson, Puff Daddy

Paula Cole received her first Grammy nomination after the success of "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" in 1997, the lead single from her second studio album, "This Fire."

Cole was nominated for six other Grammys in 1998, but best new artist remains her only win. She hasn't been nominated since.

"Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" remains Cole's only top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The album's second single, "I Don't Want to Wait," became the theme song for the popular TV series "Dawson's Creek," which has somewhat eclipsed Cole's legacy as an artist.

Year: 1992 at the 34th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Boyz II Men, C+C Music Factory, Color Me Badd, Seal

Marc Cohn won best new artist after the success of "Walking in Memphis," a single from his debut studio album, which was also nominated for song of the year and best male pop vocal performance.

It remains Cohn's signature song and only top 40 hit. He also hasn't been nominated for a Grammy since.

Year: 1987 at the 29th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Glass Tiger, Nu Shooz, Simply Red, Timbuk3

Although Bruce Hornsby went on to receive 11 additional Grammy nominations and two awards, his project with The Range was relatively short-lived and low-profile.

After the group won best new artist, they received one more Grammy nomination the following year (best pop performance by a duo or group) and lost. Bruce Hornsby & The Range released their third and final album in 1990.

Year: 1983 at the 25th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Asia, Jennifer Holliday, The Human League, Stray Cats

Men at Work is a generally well-known name, but the Australian band peaked before their best new artist win, releasing two top 5 albums in 1981 and 1983.

In 1984, the group split when two original members were asked to leave. A fractured version of Men at Work continued making music, albeit with middling success. 

Their third album, 1985's "Two Hearts," was a comparative flop and peaked at No. 50 on the Billboard 200. Since the release of the album's lead single "Everything I Need," none of the band's songs have cracked the top 40.

Year: 1981 at the 23rd annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Amy Holland, Irene Cara, Robbie Dupree, The Pretenders

Until Billie Eilish's big year in 2020, Christopher Cross was the only artist in history to sweep the general-field categories at the Grammys. His self-titled debut even beat Pink Floyd's "The Wall" for album of the year.

The following year, he earned three more nominations (and an Oscar) for cowriting and performing the theme for the 1981 film "Arthur."

Then, Cross promptly dropped out of the spotlight. His sophomore album, 1983's "Another Page," peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200. His third album peaked at No. 127. None of his subsequent albums have cracked the chart.

Year: 1979 at the 21st annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Chris Rea, Elvis Costello, The Cars, Toto

A Taste of Honey is best known for their debut single, "Boogie Oogie Oogie," a defining song from the disco era.

The smash hit was nominated for best R&B vocal performance by a duo, group, or chorus the same year that A Taste of Honey won best new artist.

Unfortunately, the group never achieved the same level of success again. They informally split as their popularity waned in the '80s.

Year: 1978 at the 20th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Andy Gibb, Foreigner, Shaun Cassidy, Stephen Bishop

Debby Boone is best known for her 1977 hit, "You Light Up My Life," which was nominated for record of the year and best female pop vocal performance. She lost both but won best new artist.

Boone briefly focused on country music, then pivoted to Christian themes shortly after. She earned several Grammy nominations in "inspirational" and gospel categories but never achieved mainstream stardom.

Year: 1977 at the 19th annual Grammy Awards

Other nominees: Boston, Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, The Brothers Johnson, Wild Cherry

Starland Vocal Band won their only two Grammys — best new artist and best arrangement — thanks to the runaway success of "Afternoon Delight," the group's only hit song. "Afternoon Delight" was also nominated for record of the year and best pop vocal performance by a duo, group, or chorus. 

In fact, singer Taffy Danoff blamed the Grammys for the group's failure to recreate their early success, calling best new artist "the kiss of death" in a 2002 interview for VH1's "100 Greatest One Hit Wonders."

"I feel sorry for everyone who's gotten it since," she said.

Jimmy Carter has been nominated 10 times for best spoken-word album, according to the Grammys' official website. He won for the recordings of his books "Faith — A Journey For All" in 2019, "A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety" in 2016, and "Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis" in 2007.

This year, the former president is nominated in the best spoken-word album category for "Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration."

The former first lady's audiobook for her memoir "Becoming" won best spoken-word album in 2020. In 2024, she won again for the recording of her latest book, "The Light We Carry."

The recordings of Obama's books "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream" won best spoken-word album in 2006 and 2008, respectively. His presidential memoir audiobook, "A Promised Land," was also nominated in 2022.

In 2018, Sanders was nominated for best spoken-word album for "Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In" along with actor Mark Ruffalo, who narrated parts of the audiobook. The pair lost to Carrie Fisher, who won a posthumous award for her memoir "The Princess Diarist."

In 2024, Sanders was nominated in the same category for his audiobook, "It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism."

Warren lost the award to "Diary of a Mad Diva" by Joan Rivers.

Clinton's narration of the children's book "Peter and the Wolf: Wolf Tracks" earned him his first Grammy in 2004. The following year, he won best spoken-word album for the audiobook of his presidential memoir, "My Life."

He received two other Grammy nominations for his recordings of "Giving: How Each Of Us Can Change The World" and "Back To Work: Why We Need Smart Government For A Strong Economy."

The then-first lady won a Grammy for the recording of her nonfiction book, "It Takes A Village." She was nominated again in 2004 for the audiobook of her memoir, "Living History."

The former vice president's audiobook was read by actors Beau Bridges, Cynthia Nixon, and Blair Underwood, according to its listing on Audible.

The former Minnesota senator, who rose to fame as a comedian before entering politics, won best comedy album in 1997 and best spoken-word album in 2004. He has been nominated seven times.

Jackson advocated for DC statehood in an unpaid Senate position known as a "shadow senator" from 1991 to 1997. He was also appointed as a special envoy to Africa by President Bill Clinton in 1997.

In 1989, Jackson won a spoken-word Grammy for a recorded address entitled "Speech by Rev. Jesse Jackson." He was nominated in the same category in 1985 for "Our Time Has Come."

His musical talents were also recognized at the 22nd Grammy Awards in 1980, when his gospel album "Push For Excellence" was nominated for best contemporary soul gospel performance.

In what became known as "Frost/Nixon" or "the Nixon interviews," the former president sat down with Frost to discuss his presidency and role in the Watergate scandal. The Grammy-nominated interviews were watched by 45 million people, the BBC reported.

A Republican senator from Illinois, Dirksen took home the Grammy for best spoken word, drama, or documentary recording in 1968. He was also nominated in 1971 for his spoken-word album "Everett Dirksen's America."

"The Truman Tapes," a series of recorded interviews with Ben Gradus, was nominated for best spoken-word recording at the 20th Grammy Awards.

The album, a mix of stories, jokes, and pop music covers, was nominated for best spoken-word recording at the 17th Grammy Awards in 1975.

Editor Bill Adler's book "The Kennedy Wit," a compilation of the former president's quotes and humorous quips, became a bestseller in 1964, the year after his assassination, according to Goodreads.

On the recorded version, Kennedy was listed as an artist along with narrator David Brinkley and Adlai Stevenson, who provided an introduction. The album was nominated for best documentary, spoken word, or drama recording.

Ultimately, the cast of the BBC show "That Was The Week That Was" won the category for its tribute to Kennedy.

Stevenson served as governor of Illinois and ran twice for president as the Democratic nominee in 1952 and 1956.

He was nominated for his first Grammy in 1965 for his contribution to "The Kennedy Wit." He was nominated again in 1967 for "The Stevenson Wit," a similar album featuring selections from his "speeches, press conferences, and off-the-cuff remarks," according to the album cover.

Mancini, pictured left, was the inaugural winner of the award.

Sinatra won his first of three album of the year awards in 1960.

Newhart starred in "The Big Bang Theory" as Professor Proton.

Garland was recently played by Renee Zellweger in "Judy," for which she won an Oscar — one award that eluded Garland.

The album was a musical spoof based on the Kennedys.

Released on February 25, 1963, it was the debut album by Barbra Streisand. She is a rare EGOT winner: She's won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.

This year marked the first time two people won the award.

Sinatra won consecutive album of the year awards in 1966 and 1967. He is one of only two artists to do so, the other being Stevie Wonder.

Until 2024 — when Taylor Swift won for the fourth time — Sinatra held the joint record for the most wins for this award.

The Beatles became the first band to win album of the year.

Campbell beat The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel to the award this year.

As well as winning this prestigious award, Clapton is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Bruno Mars has won 15 Grammys, six of which came in 2018.

Billie Eilish became the youngest-ever winner of this award at age 18, beating Swift's previous record of 20 years old.

At the time, she became the only woman to hold three album of the year wins, and only the fourth person to ever hold the distinction. Other artists who have won album of the year three times are Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Simon.

Swift broke that record in 2024 when she won album of the year for her 10th studio album "Midnights."

In 2022, Jon Batiste became the first Black artist since 2008 to win album of the year. Only 10 other Black artists have won album of the year since the award show's inception.

In 2023, Harry Styles won the award for his critically acclaimed album "Harry's House," beating out artists like Beyoncé, Adele, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and Coldplay for album of the year.

"There's no such thing as best in music," Styles said while accepting the award. "I don't think any of us sit in studios thinking about what is going to get us one of these. This is so, so kind."

Taylor Swift made history when she took home the top award for album of the year at the Grammys in 2024 for her 10th studio album, "Midnights."

Swift, who was previously tied with Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Simon for most album of the year wins, is now the first and only person to have won the award four times.

He's now one of the most famous names in the music industry, but in 1971, John lost the award for best new artist to The Carpenters.

John has since won five Grammys. He's also one of few stars to reach EGOT status, meaning he's won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.

In 1992, Boyz II Men lost the award for best new artist to the singer-songwriter Marc Cohn.

The trio didn't leave empty-handed, as they took home the award for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals that same night.

The group has earned four Grammys and 15 nominations.

At the 1995 ceremony, Green Day was nominated for best new artist alongside Ace of Base, Counting Crows, Crash Test Dummies, and Crow.

Although the award went to Crow, Green Day's album "Dookie" took home the prize for best alternative music performance that same night.

The band has since won four Grammys.

Known for iconic songs like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" and "You're Still the One," Twain's music has sold millions of copies worldwide.

But when she was up for best new artist at the 1996 Grammys, Hootie & the Blowfish took home the award.

Today, Twain has five Grammys.

In 2000, Spears was making a name for herself in pop music, coming off the success of her debut single "...Baby One More Time."

That same year, Spears missed out on the Grammy for best new artist, which went to her "Mickey Mouse Club" costar Aguilera.

Spears won her first and only Grammy in 2005 for her song "Toxic."

Lavigne was nominated for best new artist after the success of her debut album, which included hits like "Complicated," "Sk8er Boi," and "I'm With You."

During the February 2003 ceremony, Norah Jones took home the award.

Although Lavigne has not yet won a Grammy, she's been nominated eight times.

Like Lavigne, Mayer also lost out on the title of best new artist in 2003.

He has since taken home seven Grammys, including for song of the year.

In 2006, Ciara was nominated for best new artist alongside Fall Out Boy, Legend, Keane, and Sugarland.

Legend left with the award, but Ciara didn't go home empty-handed. That night, she won the best short-form music video award for her feature on Missy Elliott's song "Lose Control."

After her hugely successful Eras Tour, it's hard to imagine a time when Swift didn't win the title of best new artist at the Grammys.

However, when she was nominated in 2008, the award went to Amy Winehouse.

Since then, Swift has won 14 Grammys. She is the only artist in history to win album of the year four times.

In 2009, the Jonas Brothers were in a tight race for best new artist alongside Adele, Duffy, Jazmine Sullivan, and Lady A.

Adele took home the prize, but the Jonas Brothers have gone on to have an extremely successful career.

Although they've yet to win a Grammy, they've been nominated for two.

Although Drake now has five Grammys under his belt, he lost best new artist to jazz musician Esperanza Spalding in 2011.

Like Drake, Bieber also lost the award for best new artist to Esperanza Spalding.

He's since taken home two Grammys and earned 23 nominations.

In 2012, Minaj lost out on the title of best new artist to indie-folk group Bon Iver. But Minaj made history that night as the first female rapper to perform solo at the Grammys.

Despite being nominated 12 times, Minaj has yet to win a Grammy.

Although Rolling Stone's Brian Hiatt called Lamar "the greatest rapper alive" in 2017, the musician didn't take home the award for best new artist in 2014.

The award went to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. But since then, Lamar has earned a whopping 57 Grammy nominations and 17 wins.

Like Lamar, Ed Sheeran was up for the award for best new artist in 2014.

He later went on to win two of his four Grammys in 2016.

In 2018, SZA was up against Khalid, Alessia Cara, Lil Uzi Vert, and Julia Michaels for best new artist. The honor went to Cara.

SZA won her first Grammy in 2022 for collaborating with Doja Cat on the hit song "Kiss Me More." She has since won a total of four Grammys.

In 2020, Rosalía was nominated for best new artist alongside names like Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and Maggie Rogers.

Although Eilish walked away with the award, Rosalía made history that night as the first all-Spanish-language singer to be nominated in that category.

She was nominated in the same category at the 2017 Latin Grammys but didn't win.

She's since won two Grammys and 11 Latin Grammys.

In 2021, Doja Cat was nominated for best new artist. She lost to Megan Thee Stallion.

She didn't have to wait long for a Grammy win, though. She won her first in 2022 for "Kiss Me More."

This story was originally published in February 2024 and most recently updated on January 30, 2025.

Nominated 17 times since 1993, singer-songwriter Brian McKnight has yet to win his first Grammy.

He lost his last nomination for best male R&B vocal performance to Prince in 2004.

At 16 nominations, the rapper only trails McKnight by one, but the two have even more in common.

Calvin Broadus, better known as Snoop Dogg, also received his first nod in 1993 and, like McKnight, is still awaiting his first Grammy win.

The Icelandic singer, songwriter, actor, record producer, and DJ has been nominated 16 times since 1993, but Björk has never brought home a Grammy.

She was just nominated for best alternative music album for the 65th Grammys. 

His first nominations were in 2006 for the hit "Every Mile A Memory."

However, even after 15 nominations, country singer Dierks Bentley hasn't won a Grammy.

She's racked up 14 nominations since 1994, but talented country singer Martina McBride has been beaten out each time.

She lost her latest nomination in 2011 to Taylor Swift.

She's been nominated 13 times over the last 10 years, but current "American Idol" judge Katy Perry still doesn't have a Grammy award to adorn her mantle.

Believe it or not, the legendary Diana Ross has never won a Grammy.

Her first of 13 nominations was in 1964 for "Baby Love," and she was nominated nearly every year from 1970 to 1982 without a win.

That being said, the Recording Academy recognized the songstress with a lifetime achievement award in 2012.

From 2010 to 2024, Nicki Minaj has been nominated for 12 Grammys.

The rapper lost best new artist to Bon Iver in 2011, to Kendrick Lamar in all three of her nominated categories in 2015, and to Killer Mike and Billie Eilish for her nominations last year.

Nominated 12 times since 1996, Trevor Smith Jr. aka Busta Rhymes hasn't yet won his first Grammy. His last two nominations were for best rap performance and best rap song in 2011.

He lost to Kanye West in both categories.

Sia has received nine nominations since 2012, but the singer-songwriter, record producer, and music video director has yet to win a Grammy.

She lost her 2017 nomination for best song written for visual media to Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The country singer and judge on "The Voice" has been nominated eight times, but Blake Shelton has no Grammy wins.

He most recently lost at the 62nd annual awards in 2020. 

With six nominations, including one after his death, Tupac Shakur never won a Grammy.

He lost his first nominations in 1995 to Coolio and Naughty by Nature and lost his posthumous nomination to Eminem.

After nearly 50 years of making music, Swedish pop group ABBA landed their first Grammy nomination for their comeback record "I Still Have Faith In You."

The band lost to Silk Sonic's "Leave the Door Open."

Although the group has never won a Grammy, their hit song "Dancing Queen" was inducted into the Recording Academy's Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015. 

The band also earned four more nominations for their 2021 album "Voyage."

Surprisingly, the band Queen received only four Grammy nominations and never had a win.

Even though their last nomination was in 1980, artists like Panic! At the Disco and the 2018 film "Bohemian Rhapsody" are helping to keep their iconic music alive by introducing Queen's music to younger generations around the world.

Another legendary band with only four nominations and zero Grammy wins is the Beach Boys.

They received three nominations in 1966 for their hit "Good Vibrations," and their last nod came in 1988 for "Kokomo."

Although they haven't received a Grammy, The Beach Boys earned a lifetime achievement award in 2001.

Famous for his Las Vegas shows and for being a part of the infamous Rat Pack, Sammy Davis Jr. received three nominations but had no Grammy wins during his lifetime.

He died in 1990, but he earned a lifetime achievement award in 2001.

Jennifer Lopez racked up back-to-back nominations for best dance recording in 2000 and 2001.

However, she lost to Cher's "Believe" and Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out."

It's inconceivable that iconic hip-hop artists Run-D.M.C. have only been nominated for two Grammys.

In 1986 they lost out to Prince for best R&B performance by a duo or group — the hip-hop category wasn't added until 1989. However, they received a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy in 2016.

The iconic hip-hop group has a shot at collecting its first Grammy at this year's ceremony. They were nominated for best film music for "Kings from Queens."

Dean Martin, another Rat Pack crooner, only received one Grammy nomination.

He was nominated for his album "Everybody Loves Somebody" in 1964 but lost to Louis Armstrong.

Although Martin died in 1995, he was honored with a lifetime achievement award in 2009.

It's hard to believe that the former Smiths front man, who's released over 10 albums, has only been nominated for one Grammy.

Morrissey lost out in his 1992 best alternative music album nomination to Tom Waits.

His only nomination was in 1970 for his rendition of "Star Spangled Banner," but sadly, Jimi Hendrix died that same year without winning the Grammy.

In 1992, the Recording Academy gave Hendrix a lifetime achievement award.

Gascón was nominated for best actress for her performance in "Emilia Pérez," making her the first trans actor to be nominated for an acting Academy Award.

In 2022, Kotsur took home the best supporting actor award for his role in "CODA" as supportive, yet stubborn, father Frank Rossi.

In "CODA," his wife was played by Marlee Matlin, who was the first deaf actor ever to win an Oscar. She won the best actress statue for "Children of a Lesser God."

She was 21 at the time of her win.

Brody is perhaps one of the most famous victims of the "Oscars curse," though his career has been on an upswing lately — he was nominated for his second Academy Award this year for his role in "The Brutalist."

If fellow nominee Timothée Chalamet takes home the Oscar in 2025, the 29-year-old will take Brody's crown, as he just turned 29 in December, and Brody was close to 30 when he won.

Chalamet received his first Oscar nomination in 2018 for his role in "Call Me By Your Name" when he was 23. Seven years later, he was nominated once again for playing Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown" at age 29.

The last time an actor had two best actor nominations to his name before turning 30 was in 1957, when James Dean (posthumously) received two nominations in 1956 and 1957. He died in September 1955 at the age of 24.

DeBose also became the first Afro-Latina woman to win.

In her acceptance speech, she called herself an "openly queer woman of color, an Afro-Latina who found her strength in life through art. And that's what I believe we're here to celebrate. Anybody who's ever questioned your identity ever or find yourself living in the gray spaces? I promise you this: There is indeed a place for us."

Brando portrayed Vito Corleone as an old man with adult children and grandkids, while De Niro played him as a young man who had just emigrated from Italy. 

When Joaquin Phoenix won for "Joker," it marked the second time this happened, as Heath Ledger posthumously won for his performance as the Joker in 2008's "The Dark Knight."

Moreno won for playing Anita in the 1961 film "West Side Story" at the 1962 Oscars. Sixty years later, DeBose took home the Oscar for the same role in Steven Spielberg's 2021 remake.

Williams has won five times, for his work on "Fiddler on the Roof," "Jaws," "Star Wars," "E.T. the Extra Terrestrial," and "Schindler's List."

He was nominated for the 54th time in 2024 for "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."

He's been nominated at least once a decade since his first nomination for 1968's "Valley of the Dolls."

His 2023 nomination made the then-90-year-old the oldest nominee ever — he broke his own record one year later.

In one night, in 1954, Disney took home the Oscars for best documentary feature for "The Living Desert," best documentary short subject for "The Alaskan Eskimo," best short subject (cartoon) for "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom," and best short subject (two-reel) for "Bear Country."

He wrote, directed, and produced "Parasite," which won awards for best original screenplay, best director, best international feature film, and the most prestigious honor of the night, best picture.

The last time this happened was in 2009, with "Slumdog Millionaire." Here are the other 10 movies this has happened to.

There are two best picture nominees this year that would join this list if they won: "Dune: Part Two" and "Nickel Boys."

"Parasite" was also the first foreign language film to win best picture. This year, the French film "Emilia Pérez" or the Brazilian film "I'm Still Here" could become the second.

Streep has won best actress twice, for "Sophie's Choice" and "The Iron Lady." She won best supporting actress for "Kramer vs. Kramer."

Most recently, Italy won for "The Great Beauty," or "La grande bellezza" in 2014, directed by Paolo Sorrentino. He was nominated again in 2022 for "The Hand of God," but lost to Japan's entry, "Drive My Car."

Overall, he's been nominated 10 times for "Raging Bull," "The Last Temptation of Christ," "Goodfellas," "Gangs of New York," "The Aviator," "The Departed," "Hugo," "The Wolf of Wall Street," "The Irishman," and "Killers of the Flower Moon."

He's only won once, for "The Departed."

Spielberg's "West Side Story" earned a best director nod. In total, the movie secured eight nominations, winning one. He was nominated again in 2023 for "The Fabelmans."

His previous best director nominations were for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1978), "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982), "Schindler's List" (1993), "Saving Private Ryan" (1998), "Munich" (2005), and "Lincoln" (2012). He won for "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan."

Before "West Side Story," he and Scorsese shared the record for a director nominated in five decades.

Hopkins' win was one of the most shocking moments of the night — almost everyone had considered Chadwick Boseman in his final performance a shoo-in.

Hopkins took the record from Plummer, who was 82 when he won for "Beginners" in 2012.

He was also nominated in 2010 for "The Last Station."

Plummer died in February 2021 at the age of 91.

Ivory won for the "Call Me By Your Name" screenplay, based on the novel of the same name by André Aciman.

Henry is now 53 and acts sporadically.

O'Neal co-starred in "Paper Moon" with her father, Ryan O'Neal.

She continues to act today.

Other notable winners in this category included Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Bobby Driscoll, and Margaret O'Brien.

Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, who married in 2010, were both nominated: Cruz for best actress in "Parallel Mothers," and Bardem for best actor for "Being the Ricardos."

A second couple, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, both secured best supporting acting nominations for their roles in "The Power of the Dog."

Cruz and Bardem lost to Jessica Chastain and Will Smith, while Dunst and Plemons lost to Ariana DeBose and Troy Kotsur.

"Oppenheimer" was nominated 13 times in 2024, but "only" won seven.

As previously stated, "Titanic" went on to win 11 awards. "All About Eve" and "La La Land" each took home six statues.

This year's biggest nominee is "Emilia Pérez," which earned 13 nominations. However, it can only win 12, since it has two original songs competing against each other.

That's even longer than the notoriously long "The Brualist," "The Irishman" or "Killers of the Flower Moon."

"'The Broadway Melody' is interesting as an example of an early Hollywood musical, but otherwise, it's essentially bereft of appeal for modern audiences," wrote Rotten Tomatoes.

Last year's winner, "Oppenheimer," has a 93% critics score, and a 91% audience score.

Prior to Bigelow, just three women had been nominated for directing: Lina Wertmüller for 1975's "Seven Beauties," Jane Campion for 1993's "The Piano," and Sofia Coppola for 2003's "Lost in Translation."

This year, Coralie Fargeat is the lone woman nominated for best director. She directed "The Substance."

She won for "Nomadland."

Her first nomination was for "The Piano" in 1994.

Campion's 2022 win marks the first year women have won the best director Oscar back-to-back after Chloé Zhao's win in 2021 for "Nomadland."

While Yeun lost the award to Anthony Hopkins, his nomination for "Minari" was still a record-breaking moment.

It was mainly rated X simply because it wasn't suitable for kids — the "X" rating was almost brand new in 1969 and didn't have the same connotations as it does today. However, MTV does point out the film has "a fair amount of nudity and some brief scenes of sexual activity."

When it was later re-rated, it earned an R rating.

In total, 10 sequels have been nominated for Best Picture — "Dune: Part Two," "Avatar: The Way of Water," "Top Gun: Maverick," "Toy Story 3," "Mad Max: Fury Road," "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," "The Godfather Part III," and "The Bells of St. Mary's," plus the two winners.

You may be wondering, what about "The Silence of the Lambs"? The Anthony Hopkins/Jodie Foster joint could be considered a sequel to "Manhunter," but it's really more of a reboot.

She's not the only actor to win an Oscar for portraying an icon, but she was the first to win an Oscar for portraying an Oscar winner.

Renée Zellweger became the second when she won for playing Judy Garland in "Judy" in 2020.

Chalamet could become the third this year, for playing Bob Dylan.

Hepburn won in 1933, 1967, 1968, and 1981 for "Morning Glory," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "The Lion in Winter," and "On Golden Pond," respectively.

Though, famously, she never attended an awards show to collect her statues in person, per The Hollywood Reporter.

McDaniel won the best supporting actress award for "Gone with the Wind," in which she played Mammy, a role that has since been mired in controversy, per the Jim Crow Museum.

Poitier had previously been nominated for his role in 1958's "The Defiant Ones."

He died in January 2022 at 94.

Davis, an EGOT winner, has been nominated four times: twice for best supporting actress for "Doubt" and "Fences" (which she won), and twice for best actress for "The Help" and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom." 

"For me, it's a reflection of the lack of opportunities and access to opportunities people of color have had in this business. If me, going back to the Oscars four times in 2021, makes me the most nominated Black actress in history, that's a testament to the sheer lack of material there has been out there for artists of color," said Davis in a February 2021 interview with Variety.

Octavia Spencer is right behind her with three nominations ("The Help," "Hidden Figures," and "The Shape of Water"). Whoopi Goldberg, with two, is the only other Black actress with more than one competitive Oscar ("Ghost" and "The Color Purple").

He has been nominated 10 times between 1988 and 2022, earning nods for best supporting actor ("Cry Freedom," "Glory"), best actor ("Malcolm X," "The Hurricane," "Training Day," "Flight," "Fences," "Roman J. Israel, Esq." and "The Tragedy of Macbeth"), and best picture ("Fences").

He has won twice: He won best supporting actor for "Glory" in 1990 and best actor for "Training Day" in 2002.

Warren was nominated in the best original song category for "The Journey" from the movie "Triple Six Eight" this year.

In 2024, she lost out on a statue following her 15th nomination.

She won an honorary Oscar in 2022, but she still hasn't taken home a competitive statue.

Joaquin Phoenix thanked Ledger in his SAG Awards acceptance speech, calling Ledger his "favorite actor" in 2020.

They shared the award with Sergio Lopez-Rivera, as well.
