Grammys 2026: Full list of winners

2026-02-01 - 23:59

Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga on Sunday are among the early Grammy award winners as music’s biggest night got under way in Los Angeles with dozens of prizes handed out before the televised marquee event. Lamar jumped out to an early lead with three trophies in the rap categories, while Lady Gaga won for best dance pop recording and Bad Bunny snapped up a gramophone for best global music performance. All three are angling to make history by taking home the gala’s most coveted award, Album of the Year, for the first time. Lamar, the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper, had nine nominations going into Sunday, the most of any artist, on the strength of his album “GNX.” The 38-year-old California native, who won five Grammys last year thanks to his smash diss track “Not Like Us,” is also up for Record and Song of the Year for “Luther” featuring R&B artist SZA. Pop chameleon Lady Gaga and Puerto Rico’s Bad Bunny also are competing in all three top categories. Also nominated for Album of the Year are: pop princess Sabrina Carpenter; R&B singer-songwriter Leon Thomas; Tyler, the Creator; hip-hop duo Clipse (Pusha T and Malice); and pop superstar Justin Bieber — with his first studio effort in four years. Lady Gaga, Bieber, Carpenter and Bruno Mars are set to lead a starry list of performers that also includes Lauryn Hill and a tribute to late rocker Ozzy Osbourne featuring Post Malone. The majority of the 95 awards are handed out at a pre-gala ceremony before the televised broadcast. “Golden” from the Netflix animated smash hit “KPop Demon Hunters” won the prize for best song written for visual media, and top Oscar nominee “Sinners” won two soundtrack awards. Joni Mitchell — one of several attendees wearing an “ICE OUT” pin in protest at US President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown — took a prize for best historical album before the main event begins at 5:00 pm (0100 GMT Monday).
