Carrie Fisher Scores Posthumous GRAMMY 2018 Nomination

When the 2018 GRAMMY nominations were announced earlier this morning, much of the focus was on Kendrick LamarSZA’s massive first year, and how Jay-Z appeared in the big categories when nobody was predicting that he would. Many names were buried in the full list of nominees in all 80-something categories, but there is one that really deserves a call-out.

Late Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher legend earned her first GRAMMY nomination in the Best Spoken Word Album category for her reading of her own book The Princess Diarist. The humorous autobiography sees the actress diving into diaries she kept while she was younger, and in it, she discusses everything from her time on the set of the film that would make her a household name to a romantic entanglement with co-star Harrison Ford.
