Here Are the 2024 Grammy Nominees for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media

When the Recording Academy announced the 2024 Grammy nominations on Nov. 10, in the category of best compilation soundtrack for visual media, they showed only the artists who were nominated. They needed more time to determine who were the rightful nominees as compilation producers and music supervisors.

The Academy announced those additional nominees on Tuesday (Nov. 28), adding to already impressive 2024 nominations totals for both Ludwig Göransson and Mark Ronson. Göransson, nominated as a compilation producer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By, now has six nods for the year. Ronson, nominated as a compilation producer for Barbie, now has five (all for his work on that blockbuster film).

The directors of two of the associated films were nominated as compilation producers of the soundtracks to their films. Ryan Coogler is a nominee for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. James Gunn is a nominee for Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 3: Awesome Mix, Vol. 3.

Coogler has a second nomination this year, as a co-writer of the Rihanna smash “Lift Me Up” from that film. It’s nominated for best song written for visual media.

All three editions of Guardians of the Galaxy have been nominated for best compilation soundtrack for visual media, with Gunn among the nominees every time.

Brandon Davis and Dave Jordan each have dueling nominations in this category. Davis is nominated as a compilation producer of both Aurora and Barbie: The Album. Jordan is nominated as the music supervisor of both Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3. Jordan is also nominated as a compilation producer on the latter project, though he would receive just one Grammy if it were to win.

In similar fashion, Weird Al Yankovic, who was already nominated as the artist on Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, is also nominated as one of the compilation producers. (He, too, would receive just one award if that film were to win.)

Two of the nominated soundtracks are from TV shows. The 10-episode Aurora aired on Amazon Prime Video in March. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story aired on The Roku Channel in November 2022. If either wins, it would be the second soundtrack to a TV show to win in this category (which was first awarded in 2000). The first was Boardwalk Empire Volume 1: Music from the HBO Original Series, which won in 2012.
