Grammys 2020: Billie Eilish Rakes In an Incredible 6 Nominations
Expect a neon green ocean to conquer the Grammy's this 2020.
Billie Eilish just swooned the internet and the music industry when it was announced that she raked in a total of six nominations for this year's 62nd Academy Awards.
Out of six titles, the 17-year-old singer made a massive impact after she gained a nomination in the top four categories: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist.
For what it is worth, Eilish is the youngest person to be nominated in all aforementioned awards at once.
To complete her record, she is also nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" and "Bad Guy," respectively.
Eilish will be competing with A-list artists like Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, Bon Iver and Lizzo -- who also turned heads with her eight nominations for the upcoming awards.
If Eilish wins, she will still not be breaking the record of 14-year old LeAnn Rimes and Luis Miguel, who became the youngest artists to win in the Academy Awards. However, the youngest solo winner for Album of the Year record -- the title Taylor Swift currently owns -- can be hers should she win.
In an interview with Variety last month, Eilish expressed her excitement for the "cool opportunity." Although she emphasized that she does not care if she will not win anything at all.
Aside from the Academy Awards, Eilish was acknowledged as the Hitmaker of the Year. She will be honored at the third annual Hitmakers Brunch which will be held in Los Angeles on Dec. 7.
It Runs in The Blood!
Billie's producer and co-writer Finneas O'Connell also made it to the Grammy's nomination list.
With just one release, O'Connell earned a nomination for the "Non-Classical and Producer of the Year" category. Jack Antonoff, Dan Auerbach, John Hill and Ricky Reed were also nominated for the award
O'Connell was also identified as one of the new artists to grab several nominations. He is co-nominated with his younger sister for three categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. He also got his own nominations for the "Best Engineered Recording Non-Classical."
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) will present the 62nd Grammy Awards on Jan. 27, 2020, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
