Hildur Guðnadóttir’s music for 'Joker' wins 'Best Score Soundtrack' at Grammy Awards 2021

Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir won Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media today at the 2021 Grammy Awards. The composer’s Oscar-winning score for Joker picked up the win against Max Richter (Ad Astra), Kamasi Washington (Becoming), John Williams (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker), and Thomas Newman (1917).

It’s the second year Hildur won the award; last year, she was recognized for her Chernobyl score. This year, she was also nominated (but did not win) for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella for the Joker song “Bathroom Dance.”
