Those who may have assumed that Recording Academy members would be tired of "La La Land" at this point were wrong: the film, about living the Hollywood dream, earned two early Grammy Awards at Sunday's ceremony.
In the category for score/soundtrack for visual media, the score's composer, Justin Hurwitz, won out over the composers for "Dunkirk," "Game of Thrones, Season 7," "Hidden Figures" and "Arrival."
Additionally, "La La Land" compilation producers Hurwitz and Marius de Vries won the compilation soundtrack award over fellow contenders "Baby Driver," "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2," "Hidden Figures: The Album" and "Moana: The Songs."
Voters, however, skipped over the "La La Land" theme, "City of Stars," in the song written for visual media category. It was bested by "How Far I'll Go," the Lin-Manuel Miranda-sung work from "Moana: The Songs."
