On Sunday, Feb 5, composer Germaine Franco made history as the first woman of color to win the Grammy® for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for her spectacular work on Disney’s Encanto. This win follows her historic Oscar nomination from last year, and her win for Outstanding Score for a Studio Film fro the Society of Composers and Lyricists. In her Grammy speech she thanked the musicians of Encanto – many who were also playing on stage for the Grammy’s band, and all of the musicians who are making beautiful music so that the world will be a better place.
Germaine is the first woman to score a Disney animated feature film with 2021’s Encanto, for which she won a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media & received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score, plus an SCL Award for Outstanding Original Score, an Annie Award for Best Music in a Feature (shared with Lin-Manuel Miranda), a Variety Artisan Composer Award, and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score. // Continue to the full article
