<p>Chadwick Boseman death has come as a shock to many of his fans and his colleagues and now 'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler is among those who are missing the actor and working with him.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Ryan started working on the Black Panther sequel and fined it really hard to work on the Marvel sequel without the late actor.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Speaking with Jemele Hill on her Unbothered podcast, Coogler said he's still&nbsp;going through the mourning process and revealed that it is not easy to create Wakanda without its true King T’Challa.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"One thing that I've learned in my short or long time on this Earth is that it's very difficult to have perspective on something while you're going through it," the 34-year-old director revealed. "This is one of the more profound things that I've gone through in my life, having to be a part of keeping this project going without this particular person who is like the glue who held it together."<br />
<br />
Chadwick Boseman, well-known for playing T’Challa in 'Black Panther', died last August at age 43 after a private four-year battle with colon cancer. He continued, "I'm trying to find a work-life balance. But I'm not there yet, so this is without a question the hardest thing I've had to do in my professional life."<br />
<br />
Now, the director sees Boseman as an ancestor he had the privilege of knowing. "I'm incredibly sad to lose him but I'm also incredibly motivated that I got to spend time with him," he said. "You spend your life hearing about people like him. For this individual, who is an ancestor now, I was there for it. It's such an incredible privilege that fills you up as much as it knocks you out. So often as Black people, we have to pick up the pieces after a loss."<br />
<br />
Last year, Chadwick was all set to start his preparation for the 'Black Panther' sequel, ''Chadwick was convinced until about a week before his death and will gain weight and take proper shape before the filming starts. The actor was confident that he would have the strength to return as the king of Wakanda'', the reports say.<br />
<br />
Boseman won his <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-chadwick-boseman-wins-his-first-golden-globe-award-posthumously-367017">first Golden Globe</a> for the best actor award for the Netflix film 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'- which served as a swansong for the actor.&nbsp;<br />

After stunning us with her performance in ‘A Star is Born’ with Bradley Cooper as a rising singing talent, Lady Gaga, the popstar cum actor is now featuring in ‘House of Gucci’ film opposite Oscar-nominated actor Adam Driver.

After stunning us with her performance in ‘A Star is Born’ with Bradley Cooper as a rising singing talent, Lady Gaga, the popstar cum actor is now featuring in ‘House of Gucci’ film opposite Oscar-nominated actor Adam Driver. After the first picture from the film teased us with what we can expect from the film on the Gucci family and the assassination of owner Maurizio Gucci by his ex wife Patrizia Reggiani, there’s more we have got our hands-on. In new BTS scenes that have come out from the film ‘House of Gucci’ as the two stars continue filming, the film looks like something we would like to know more about. Directed by Ridley Scott and based on the true story of Patrizia who hired a hitman to kill her ex-husband, the film deals with the controversies around the heir of the eponymous luxury fashion house. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) × Gucci played by Adam Driver and Reggiani played by Gaga in the film married in 1973 and have two children, Allegra and Alessandra. During their marriage, while Gucci was a reckless spender, Reggiani liked all things fine in life. In 1985, Gucci filed for divorce from Reggiani that was finally settled in 1991. A few years later, the 46-year-old heir was shot and killed by a hitman outside of his Milan office. It was later revealed that Reggiani organized the killing. She was arrested in 1997 and was dubbed the “Black Widow'' by the Italian press. The socialite was sentenced to 29 years in prison.

At one point of time, Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio were rumored to star in the drama, based on a script by Andrea Berloff. Then, Scott tapped out and rumors swirled in 2012 that his daughter, Jordan Scott, would take over instead, with Penelope Cruz signing on for the lead role. The film switched gears once again in 2016, when it was reported that Wong Kar Wai was set to take the reins, directing the film that would now have Margot Robbie. Now, the script of ‘House of Gucci’ is by Roberto Bentivegna. The cast also includes Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Jared Leto, Jack Huston, and Reeve Carney, and many others.

<p>The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is continuing work it started in January, when it nominated the movie “Selena” for the National Film Registry, with a list of 25 more films it would like to see the registry add.</p>

<p>The movies nominated by the caucus last week are from as early as 1982, and they include films like “Spy Kids” (2001), a comedy featuring a Latino family, and “Frida” (2002), an Oscar-winning movie about artist Frida Kahlo. The registry typically adds new movies in December.</p>

<p>“It is essential that the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry reflect the true diversity of American culture,” the chairman of the caucus, Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., said in a statement. “Including more Latino films in the National Film Registry will help elevate Latino stories, promote an inclusive media landscape, and empower Latino filmmakers and storytellers.”</p>

<p>Established by Congress in 1988, the registry preserves films that it deems “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Each year, a committee selects 25 films to add.</p>

<p>“The Library of Congress is grateful for the nominations from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and for their interest in the National Film Registry,” Brett Zongker, a spokesperson for the Library of Congress, said in a statement, adding, “The registry seeks to ensure the preservation of films that showcase the range and diversity” of America’s film heritage.</p>

<p>Latinos make up the largest minority group in the United States, at 18.5% of the population. But they continue to be underrepresented in films and on television. A 2019 study from the University of Southern California’s School for Communication and Journalism found that only 4.5% of all speaking characters across 1,200 top-grossing films from 2007 to 2018 were Latino.</p>

<p>Of the nearly 800 films in the registry, at least 17 are examples of Latino stories. The number of Latino directors in the registry is tiny: There are 11; nine are men, and two are women.</p>

<p>Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, led the move for nominations. Latino creators and their stories are often pushed away by gatekeepers of American culture, like Hollywood and the national registry, Castro has said. He added that Latinos are often portrayed negatively in all media — as gang members, drug dealers or hypersexualized women.</p>

<p>In a letter to the Librarian of Congress, Castro and Ruiz wrote that such misconceptions and stereotyping in media are significant factors “motivating ongoing anti-Latino sentiment in American society,” affecting areas “from immigration law to the education system to the current public health crisis.”</p>

<p>The caucus’s list was developed through feedback from constituents, and movies were also identified by, among others, the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, the National Hispanic Foundation of the Arts, the National Hispanic Media Coalition and the Latinx House (which uses a gender-neutral term for Latinos).</p>

<p>“Our stories have often been missing from American film, and even less often been recognized as important cultural pieces in American history,” Castro said in a phone interview. “This is an effort to change that.”</p>

<p>The 25 films the caucus chose reflect stories from a variety of nationalities, including Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, Colombian, Argentine, Salvadoran and Nicaraguan.</p>

<p>The list speaks to many parts of the Latino experience, including people who are native to the United States and its territories and those who migrated to the country because of its politics and interventions in Latin America, Theresa Delgadillo, a Chicana and Latina studies professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said in an interview.</p>

<p>“It is an important way to influence that diversity effort in an industry,” Delgadillo said about the caucus’s effort.</p>

<p>She and other professors, though excited about the effort, were also critical of the list, because, they say, there were few stories about Latinas and LGBTQ people.</p>

<p>When the Brian Michael Bendis run on "Superman" and "Action Comics" ended (the last issue he wrote came out in December), readers wondered who the next writer would be. Not many would have predicted Phillip Kennedy Johnson to be the one.</p>

<p>“Bendis casts a long shadow and is a legend in the industry,” said Johnson, whose previous credits include limited series and specials. “I think people expected someone of a similar stature to take over.”</p>

<p>Fans were able to preview Johnson’s take on Superman in "Future State," a two-month storyline that began in January, which explored DC’s heroes decades, and sometimes eons, from now. Susana Polo, comics editor for the gaming and pop culture website Polygon, wrote, “After reading his 'Future State: Superman' books, I’m very excited to see where this lyrical writer with a flare for epic events and asking for epic visuals goes.”</p>

<p>It is an exciting time to be a fan of the Man of Steel. The CW series “Superman &amp;&nbsp;Lois” debuted last month, and it was announced last week that writer Ta-Nehisi Coates is working on a Superman screenplay to be produced by J.J. Abrams.</p>

<p>Johnson’s first story, set in the present, is a two-parter that will run in "Superman" and "Action Comics" this month and is drawn by Phil Hester and Eric Gapstur. It features Jonathan Kent, the teenage son of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, who worries that he is not ready to replace his father.</p>

<p>Johnson broke into the industry in 2015 with "Last Sons of America," drawn by Matthew Dow Smith, for Boom! Studios, about an attack that hampers reproduction and forces would-be parents to take children from other countries. (Peter Dinklage is set to star in a film version of the series.) Johnson also wrote the horror-fantasy series "The Last God for DC" and is writing an “Alien” series for Marvel, whose first issue arrives March 24.</p>

<p>Johnson is a sergeant first class in the US Army and a member of the Army Field Band. “I’ve learned to devote any skills or talents I have in the service of things that matter,” he said. “There should always be a story or message that’s true, one that deeply matters. That idea applies more than ever when you’re writing 'Superman,' who embodies the idea of service.”</p>

A new writer for Superman

<p>In a normal year, we would have had the Oscars by now. Instead, we’re just getting started.</p>

<p>After a marathon awards season lengthened by two additional months because of the ongoing pandemic, the Oscar nominations will finally be announced on Monday at the crack of dawn in Los Angeles. It’s my job to tell you what to expect, but I think even voters aren’t sure what’s in store.</p>

<p>Without the usual circuit of parties, premieres, Q&amp;As, and glitzy award ceremonies, academy members have mostly been left to their own devices. (What good are all those for-your-consideration billboards when you barely leave your house?) Still, some educated guesses can be made about this year’s crop of nominees, which could set records and stoke controversy in equal measure.</p>

<p>Here are five pressing award-season questions that will soon be answered.</p>

<p><strong>What movies will be nominated for best picture?</strong></p>

<p>If recent Oscar history holds, we should expect eight or nine movies to earn enough votes for a best-picture nomination. (Next year, the academy has resolved to go back to an even 10 nominees. Good!) Five contenders appear all but locked, given how often they have been recognized this season by other awards bodies: “Nomadland,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Minari” and “Mank.”</p>

<p>And then it gets tricky.</p>

<p>Over the last two years, every best-picture nominee was also nominated by the Producers Guild of America, so the remaining spots could be claimed by the same films nominated for a PGA Award, picks like “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “One Night in Miami” and “Sound of Metal.” Toss “The Father” and “The Mauritanian” into the pile, too, since both made the best-film lineup at BAFTA, the British equivalent of the Oscars, and the academy has a sizable contingent of British voters. And keep an eye on “Da 5 Bloods,” which has underperformed this season but still scored a notable best-cast nomination from the Screen Actors Guild.</p>

<p>But they can’t all get in. In addition to “Nomadland,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Minari” and “Mank,” I’m projecting best-picture nominations for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “One Night in Miami” and “The Father.” If a ninth nominee slips through, it will either be “Judas and the Black Messiah,” which has been building late momentum, or “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” an unconventional best-picture pick with plenty of passionate fans.</p>

<p><strong>Could female directors make history?</strong></p>

<p>Only five women have ever been nominated for the best director Oscar: Greta Gerwig (“Lady Bird”), Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”), Sofia Coppola (“Lost in Translation”), Jane Campion (“The Piano”), and Lina Wertmüller (“Seven Beauties”). This year is almost certain to add the “Nomadland” director Chloé Zhao to those ranks, and after picking up trophies at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, Zhao may even become the first woman since Bigelow in 2010 to win the Academy Award for directing.</p>

<p>Still, Zhao’s very presence in the category will make history, as no woman of color has ever been nominated for the best-director Oscar. And she may not be the lone woman in her category: The Directors Guild of America also nominated Emerald Fennell (“Promising Young Woman”) for the group’s top prize, while the Golden Globes included Zhao, Fennell, and Regina King (“One Night in Miami”). If two or even three of those filmmakers make it into the final five, it will be the first best-director race to feature more than one woman vying for the Oscar.</p>

<p><strong>Will Chadwick Boseman earn two posthumous nominations?</strong></p>

<p>The “Black Panther” star died last August at 43, just months before his turn as tortured trumpeter Levee in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” earned him career-best reviews. Boseman will easily cruise to his first best-actor nomination, and after victories at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, I would say he’s the safest bet to win out of all four acting categories.</p>

<p>Voters are so eager to reward Boseman that his name may also turn up in the supporting-actor category for his pivotal performance in Spike Lee’s Vietnam drama, “Da 5 Bloods.” Still, that nomination is far less certain: The film has had a spotty track record this awards season, and even Boseman’s co-star, the critics’ favorite Delroy Lindo, isn’t guaranteed a nomination. It’s also possible that Boseman’s best-actor win is considered so certain that the academy will try to spread the wealth in the supporting category, welcoming on-the-bubble picks like the “Sound of Metal” standout Paul Raci.</p>

<p><strong>How diverse will the acting categories be?</strong></p>

<p>Five years after back-to-back seasons of #OscarsSoWhite, people of color could claim nearly half of this year’s acting nominees. Expect nominations for Boseman, his “Ma Rainey” co-star Viola Davis and Riz Ahmed (“Sound of Metal”) in the lead categories, and in the supporting actor race for Leslie Odom Jr. (“One Night in Miami”), and frontrunner Daniel Kaluuya of “Judas and the Black Messiah.” Lindo and surprise Golden Globe winner Andra Day (“The United States vs. Billie Holiday”) also have outside shots at making the lead races.</p>

<p>I’m predicting multiple nominations for the cast from “Minari,” including star Steven Yeun and supporting actress Yuh-Jung Youn, although the Oscars have a frustrating track record when it comes to Asian-led ensembles: Even when films like “Parasite,” “Letters From Iwo Jima” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” made the best-picture lineup, their stars were overlooked for individual honors, and buzzy actors like Zhao Shuzhen “The Farewell” and Michelle Yeoh “Crazy Rich Asians” also found no traction with the academy.</p>

<p><strong>Will streaming services dominate?</strong></p>

<p>It’s been nearly a full year since movie theaters were open in Los Angeles, so perhaps it’s no surprise that in this pandemic-stricken season, movies that can be safely watched at home will dominate the Oscar conversation.</p>

<p>Netflix and Amazon each have a surplus of best-picture contenders: Netflix is repping “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Mank,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and “Da 5 Bloods,” while Amazon has high hopes for “One Night in Miami,” “Sound of Metal” and “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.” Even movies like “Nomadland” and “Judas and the Black Messiah” were more widely seen during their near-simultaneous streaming debuts on Hulu and HBO Max than in the theatrical runs that were once meant to be their primary means of distribution.</p>

In a normal year, we would have had the Oscars by now. Instead, we’re just getting started. After a marathon awards season lengthened by two additional months because of the ongoing pandemic, the Oscar nominations will finally be announced on Monday at the crack of dawn in Los Angeles. It’s my job to tell you what to expect, but I think even voters aren’t sure what’s in store. Without the usual circuit of parties, premieres, Q&As, and glitzy award ceremonies, academy members have mostly been left to their own devices. (What good are all those for-your-consideration billboards when you barely leave your house?) Still, some educated guesses can be made about this year’s crop of nominees, which could set records and stoke controversy in equal measure. Here are five pressing award-season questions that will soon be answered. What movies will be nominated for best picture? If recent Oscar history holds, we should expect eight or nine movies to earn enough votes for a best-picture nomination. (Next year, the academy has resolved to go back to an even 10 nominees. Good!) Five contenders appear all but locked, given how often they have been recognized this season by other awards bodies: “Nomadland,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Minari” and “Mank.” And then it gets tricky. Over the last two years, every best-picture nominee was also nominated by the Producers Guild of America, so the remaining spots could be claimed by the same films nominated for a PGA Award, picks like “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “One Night in Miami” and “Sound of Metal.” Toss “The Father” and “The Mauritanian” into the pile, too, since both made the best-film lineup at BAFTA, the British equivalent of the Oscars, and the academy has a sizable contingent of British voters. And keep an eye on “Da 5 Bloods,” which has underperformed this season but still scored a notable best-cast nomination from the Screen Actors Guild. But they can’t all get in. In addition to “Nomadland,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Minari” and “Mank,” I’m projecting best-picture nominations for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “One Night in Miami” and “The Father.” If a ninth nominee slips through, it will either be “Judas and the Black Messiah,” which has been building late momentum, or “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” an unconventional best-picture pick with plenty of passionate fans. Could female directors make history? Only five women have ever been nominated for the best director Oscar: Greta Gerwig (“Lady Bird”), Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”), Sofia Coppola (“Lost in Translation”), Jane Campion (“The Piano”), and Lina Wertmüller (“Seven Beauties”). This year is almost certain to add the “Nomadland” director Chloé Zhao to those ranks, and after picking up trophies at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, Zhao may even become the first woman since Bigelow in 2010 to win the Academy Award for directing. Still, Zhao’s very presence in the category will make history, as no woman of color has ever been nominated for the best-director Oscar. And she may not be the lone woman in her category: The Directors Guild of America also nominated Emerald Fennell (“Promising Young Woman”) for the group’s top prize, while the Golden Globes included Zhao, Fennell, and Regina King (“One Night in Miami”). If two or even three of those filmmakers make it into the final five, it will be the first best-director race to feature more than one woman vying for the Oscar. Will Chadwick Boseman earn two posthumous nominations? The “Black Panther” star died last August at 43, just months before his turn as tortured trumpeter Levee in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” earned him career-best reviews. Boseman will easily cruise to his first best-actor nomination, and after victories at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, I would say he’s the safest bet to win out of all four acting categories. Voters are so eager to reward Boseman that his name may also turn up in the supporting-actor category for his pivotal performance in Spike Lee’s Vietnam drama, “Da 5 Bloods.” Still, that nomination is far less certain: The film has had a spotty track record this awards season, and even Boseman’s co-star, the critics’ favorite Delroy Lindo, isn’t guaranteed a nomination. It’s also possible that Boseman’s best-actor win is considered so certain that the academy will try to spread the wealth in the supporting category, welcoming on-the-bubble picks like the “Sound of Metal” standout Paul Raci. How diverse will the acting categories be? Five years after back-to-back seasons of #OscarsSoWhite, people of color could claim nearly half of this year’s acting nominees. Expect nominations for Boseman, his “Ma Rainey” co-star Viola Davis and Riz Ahmed (“Sound of Metal”) in the lead categories, and in the supporting actor race for Leslie Odom Jr. (“One Night in Miami”), and frontrunner Daniel Kaluuya of “Judas and the Black Messiah.” Lindo and surprise Golden Globe winner Andra Day (“The United States vs. Billie Holiday”) also have outside shots at making the lead races. I’m predicting multiple nominations for the cast from “Minari,” including star Steven Yeun and supporting actress Yuh-Jung Youn, although the Oscars have a frustrating track record when it comes to Asian-led ensembles: Even when films like “Parasite,” “Letters From Iwo Jima” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” made the best-picture lineup, their stars were overlooked for individual honors, and buzzy actors like Zhao Shuzhen “The Farewell” and Michelle Yeoh “Crazy Rich Asians” also found no traction with the academy. Will streaming services dominate? It’s been nearly a full year since movie theaters were open in Los Angeles, so perhaps it’s no surprise that in this pandemic-stricken season, movies that can be safely watched at home will dominate the Oscar conversation. Netflix and Amazon each have a surplus of best-picture contenders: Netflix is repping “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Mank,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and “Da 5 Bloods,” while Amazon has high hopes for “One Night in Miami,” “Sound of Metal” and “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.” Even movies like “Nomadland” and “Judas and the Black Messiah” were more widely seen during their near-simultaneous streaming debuts on Hulu and HBO Max than in the theatrical runs that were once meant to be their primary means of distribution. The academy suspended its usual restrictions this year to allow more streaming films to compete, and indeed, the best-picture race may be primarily composed of nominees from major streamers. But can big-screen movies mount a comeback after at-home habits were hastened during the pandemic? This year’s Oscar lineup may make history, but next year’s nominees will provide the true referendum on the future of the movie industry.

'Radhe Shyam' poster: Prabhas-Pooja Hegde look lost in love

<p>With barely a handful of days left for this year’s<strong> Grammy Awards</strong>, here’s taking account of all things we know so far about the world’s first music awards night of the year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Keeping in mind the pandemic and enforcing strict COVID-19 protocol, the event is said to be cut down to size and will have mainly a home viewing audience. The artists will be seen performing as The Recording Academy announced its list of performers. However, they will be seen performing at multiple stages as opposed to one stage at a designated spot. The event will largely be in and around Los Angeles Convention Center.</p>

<p>BTS, Silk Sonic (that just got confirmed yesterday) will be seen performing. The regulars like Cardi B, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and others will be seen setting the stage on fire too.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What time will it happen and how to watch Grammys 2021?</strong></h2>

<p>The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/grammy-awards">Grammys 2021</a> will air live at 8 ET/5 PT on Sunday, March 14 on CBS. It will livestream in the world on their Facebook Live and official website GRAMMYS.com. In India it will be available on March 15 early morning. The event is finally taking place after being postponed due to COVID-19.</p>

<h2><strong>Who will perform?</strong></h2>

<p>Taylor Swift will return to the stage for the first time since 2016, when her first official pop outing 1989 won album of the year. Fellow album of the year nominees Dua Lipa, Haim, Post Malone, Black Pumas and Coldplay's Chris Martin are slated to perform.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/grammy-awards-2021-bts-taylor-swift-cardi-b-and-others-confirmed-to-perform-368772">BTS, Bad Bunny, Cardi B,</a> Brandi Carlile, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Mickey Guyton, Brittany Howard, Miranda Lambert, Lil Baby, John Mayer, Megan Thee Stallion, Maren Morris, Roddy Ricch, Harry Styles and Silk Sonic (the new duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) round out the performer list.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Key 2021 Grammy nominees</strong></h2>

<p>Beyoncé has nine nominations, including two record-of-the-year nods for Black Parade and her Savage remix with Megan Thee Stallion.</p>

<p>Dua Lipa, Roddy Ricch and Taylor Swift trail Beyoncé with six nominations each.</p>

<p>Dua Lipa, who won best new artist at the 2019 awards, is a contender in the record, song and album of the year categories.</p>

With barely a handful of days left for this year’s Grammy Awards, here’s taking account of all things we know so far about the world’s first music awards night of the year.

With barely a handful of days left for this year’s Grammy Awards, here’s taking account of all things we know so far about the world’s first music awards night of the year. Keeping in mind the pandemic and enforcing strict COVID-19 protocol, the event is said to be cut down to size and will have mainly a home viewing audience. The artists will be seen performing as The Recording Academy announced its list of performers. However, they will be seen performing at multiple stages as opposed to one stage at a designated spot. The event will largely be in and around Los Angeles Convention Center. BTS, Silk Sonic (that just got confirmed yesterday) will be seen performing. The regulars like Cardi B, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and others will be seen setting the stage on fire too. What time will it happen and how to watch Grammys 2021? The Grammys 2021 will air live at 8 ET/5 PT on Sunday, March 14 on CBS. It will livestream in the world on their Facebook Live and official website GRAMMYS.com. In India it will be available on March 15 early morning. The event is finally taking place after being postponed due to COVID-19. Who will perform? Taylor Swift will return to the stage for the first time since 2016, when her first official pop outing 1989 won album of the year. Fellow album of the year nominees Dua Lipa, Haim, Post Malone, Black Pumas and Coldplay's Chris Martin are slated to perform. BTS, Bad Bunny, Cardi B, Brandi Carlile, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Mickey Guyton, Brittany Howard, Miranda Lambert, Lil Baby, John Mayer, Megan Thee Stallion, Maren Morris, Roddy Ricch, Harry Styles and Silk Sonic (the new duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) round out the performer list. Key 2021 Grammy nominees Beyoncé has nine nominations, including two record-of-the-year nods for Black Parade and her Savage remix with Megan Thee Stallion. Dua Lipa, Roddy Ricch and Taylor Swift trail Beyoncé with six nominations each. Dua Lipa, who won best new artist at the 2019 awards, is a contender in the record, song and album of the year categories. Ricch is this year's leading male nominee, with nods in major categories such as record and song of the year. Taylor Swift is up for album of the year for Folklore and song of the year for Cardigan. This year’s new artist hopefuls for Grammys are Ingrid Andress, Phoebe Bridgers, Chika, Noah Cyrus, D Smoke, Doja Cat, Kaytranada and Megan Thee Stallion. Who got snubbed by Grammys this year?
