Actors and actresses nominated for the Hollywood "Grammy" award

On February 3, the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony took place. Traditionally, this award is given for achievements in the music field.

However, the award has already expanded its scope, honoring winners in other related fields, including best audiobook narration or stand-up concert recording, as reported by Daryo publication.

Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx is a versatile creator active in film, music, and stand-up comedy. His latest performance, titled What Had Happened Was..., is about the star's emergency hospitalization two years ago.

Although American media has continuously reported that the actor's condition is very serious, he has remained silent and provided almost no commentary on the incident. He elaborated on this in his performance with detailed and unique humor.

However, it was not comedy that brought him the Grammy award, but music. In 2010, he won the award for "Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group" for the track "Blame It," created in collaboration with rapper T-Pain.

By the way, this is Foxx's only Grammy, and he has been nominated for this award a total of nine times.

Whoopi Goldberg

Goldberg is one of the 27 artists who have achieved the prestigious and highest title known as EGOT. This means that among her awards are the television "Emmy," the music "Grammy," the film "Oscar," and the theater "Tony" awards — an absolute achievement and unimaginable peak for any artist.

The actress won an "Oscar" for her supporting role in the drama "Ghost." She has received two "Emmy" awards for hosting "The View" talk show and working on the documentary "Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel."

Goldberg received the "Tony" award for her role in the musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie." The actress won a "Grammy" award in the "Best Comedy Album" category for "Whoopi Gold: Original Broadway Show Recording."

Carrie Fisher

In 2016, the "Star Wars" star published her personal memoir titled "The Princess Diarist." In the book, the actress recounts her life during the filming of the first part of George Lucas's space franchise.

The title of the book refers to her role as Princess Leia. In the pages of her book, Fisher discusses how she got involved in the project, her brief romantic relationship with co-star Harrison Ford, and what her life was like outside the filming set of the famous project.

In 2017, after her death (the actress passed away on December 27, 2016), she won a Grammy award for the audio version of her autobiography, which she personally recorded.

Patrick Stewart

The star of "X-Men" has numerous awards and even more nominations, including three Grammy nominations and one win.

The actor was nominated in 1993 for the audio version of Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol," which he narrated, and in 2001 for the audio collection of "The Complete Sonnets of Shakespeare," but he did not win.

However, in 1996, he won in the "Best Album for Children" category. The award was for Stewart's recording of Sergei Prokofiev's symphonic fairy tale "Peter and the Wolf."

Kate Winslet

Winslet is very close to joining the ranks of EGOT achievers. The British actress is only missing the "Tony" theater award.

On the other hand, her list of awards and nominations is enviable: she has won an "Oscar" for the film "The Reader," two "Emmy" awards for the miniseries "Mildred Pierce" and the detective series "Mare of Easttown," as well as a "Grammy" award she received early in her career in 2000. The statue was awarded for her work on the children's audio collection "Listen to the Storyteller," recorded immediately after "Titanic."

Joaquin Phoenix

Phoenix had sung on screen long before the second "Joker" film unexpectedly turned into a musical. In 2005, the actor played a role in the musical biopic "Walk the Line," about country legend Johnny Cash. This role brought him numerous prestigious nominations and awards, including a "Golden Globe" and a BAFTA award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

However, the most unexpected among them was the Grammy award. This award was given to him in the complex category of "Best Soundtrack for Film, Television, or Other Visual Media" for personally performing Cash's songs.

By the way, a few years later, Bradley Cooper also won the same category award for creating the soundtrack for his directorial musical drama "A Star Is Born." He shared this award with Lady Gaga and other co-authors.

Rashida Jones

The star of "The Office" is the daughter of the late famous composer and music producer Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones had an outstanding career and won the EGOT title in 2016.

Among his achievements are nearly 30 Grammy awards, an Emmy award for the miniseries "Roots," a Tony award for producing the 2016 play "The Color Purple," and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award — an honorary Oscar awarded for outstanding humanitarian work.

His daughter Rashida Jones also started her career in music — for example, she participated as a background vocalist in the recording of Maroon 5's first studio album. However, Rashida earned her Grammy in a different field: in 2018, she directed, co-wrote, and co-produced a documentary film titled "Quincy" for Netflix, dedicated to her father. This project won the award for "Best Music Film."

Robin Williams

The famous comedian and tragic actor received seven Grammy nominations during his long career, winning five of them. In 1980, Williams was recognized as the best new artist for his solo stand-up performance titled "Reality... What a Concept."

In 1984, he was awarded for the audio version of his third stand-up concert — "A Night at the Met." A year later, he won his fourth statue for voicing the children's book "Pecos Bill." Finally, in 2003, the actor received his anniversary Grammy for the audio version of the concert "Robin Williams Live" in the "Best Comedy Album" category.
