Beyonce is set to dominate at the 2025 Grammy Awards, as she's leading the pack with 11 nominations.
It's already a history-making moment for Beyonce - she and her husband Jay-Z were originally tied on 88 nominations, but now she's pulled ahead as the most-nominated artist of all time at the Grammys.
Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says the other nominees for February's event include Charli XCX, Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Sunday Session podcast with Francesca Rudgin
from News Talk SEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
This song is definitely growing on me. This is Beyonce
and joining us now with all the entertainment news of
the week. Steve Neill, editor at flicks Dot cot ian Z,
good morning, Good morning. We're playing a little bit of Beyonce,
of course, because she leads the twenty twenty five Grammy.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Awards nominations, indeed, with eleven nominations for the Cowboy Carter
album and associated singles and videos from that. Oddly, though, Beyonce,
as her husband jay Z's pointed out, she has more
Grammys than anyone, but has never one Album of the Year. Yeah,
and so, as jay Z says, even by your own metrics,
(00:50):
that doesn't work. Think about that, the most Grammy's never
one album of the year. That doesn't work. Well, She
is definitely in the box seat, I guess, with that
leading the nominations position and as well as her nomination
for Cowboy Carter and Album of the Year. The other
nominees include Andre three thousand, Sabrina Carpenter, Charlie XX, Jacob Collier,
Billy Eilish, Chapel, Roone and Taylor Swift. It's a very
(01:12):
female dominated Grammys this year, which is no surprise given
at how it reflects the last year in pop music.
So as well as Beyonce's eleven Norms, you also have
Kendrick Lamar, Charlie XX, and Billie Eilish on seven. We're
just going to rank them by numbers because that's what
that's what art is. It's a numerical competition. Post Malone
(01:34):
also has seven norms, and Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and
Chapel Roone with six apiece. I'm just going to keep
banging on about Charlie Xx like it did last sim
I was in here. She's headlining Lameway in Auckland's West
at Auckland's Western Springs on feb sixth. She's never received
a solo artist nomination at the Grammys before, so this
is I think her sixth or seventh record brat And
(01:57):
is also nominated as well as Album of the Year,
four Record of the Year, Pop, Solo, Pop, Duo, Group, Performance, pop, dance, recording, Dance, Electronics, Albums,
and Music Videos. The timing of this one's interesting because
the Grammys are on February the second in l a
Lane Ways on February the sixth in Auckland. Well, that's
a bit of time celebration, just like celebrate all the
(02:19):
way to the airport maybe and then come on down.
But the timing of that for for that festival tour
through New Zealand and Australia is a publicist's dream.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I totally awards occasionally. This isn't Kiwi sort of snuck
somewhere in a Grammy's nomination list.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Found to be but I've only given up the most.
This is a top line top line report. No New
Zealanders have been nominated for more than more than six categories.
I can confidently tell you one name that did pop
up that I was very pleased to see, though, was
Kim Gordon X of Sonic nominated for her incredible album
(03:01):
The Collective from this year.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I haven't listened to that. I shall put that on
the list. Tell me about this new coming of age
story that's been released on Prime's video. It's got a
little bit of a twist. It's called My Older.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I've been waiting for you to say the title. There
we go, Yes, yeah, it's okay. So this is a
really interesting spin on coming of age and sort of
taking your first forays into adulthood as an eighteen year
old girl in a small town in Canada. I mean, look,
there's no beting around the bors. She has a mushroom
trip with her friends, and while she's tripping on mushrooms,
(03:34):
she meets her thirty nine year old self played by
Aubrey Plaza. Awesome, And I mean, what would you do
if you had the chance to meet your older self?
Would you a confirm all the awesome things that you
think like just around the corner in your life? B
ask for investment advice so you can like bank on
the new stock and get filthy rich, or see try
(03:54):
and make out with yourself. Okay, in this film made
all of the above have them. That's not really a
spoil This is in the last than the sort of
first fifteen minutes of the film. But after they hang
out and kind of connect across the generational divide. Is
it a generation divide if you're the same person? Not sure.
Aubre Klaza leaves her number in her younger cell's phone,
(04:16):
and by movie logic, they can call each other and
have chats. Right, Okay, so the older the older version
is trying to help her avoid some mistakes, and the
younger version is just trying to be young and make mistakes.
So it's a really interesting kind of look at those
different phases of our lives and maybe it's not such
a bad thing making a bunch of mistakes.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, it's not enjoyed.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I had a very gentle cry at one point during
this film, and it's a kind of pretty bittersweet, gentle
comedy that look, if you don't like doing mushrooms, this
is not the film for you.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's interesting you mentioned a gentle cry because we just
spoke to Metti Medicine from the Bear, and Grant texts
me to say, Francisca love the Bear. He said, I
thought I would be interested to know from those who've
watched it. Episode of season two, episode seven Forks is
the best TV episode of any show they've watched, and Grant,
(05:14):
that is the episode I think I've got the right
one where Richard cousin Richard has his moment. Olivia Coleman
is in that episode. I had a gentle cry, and
I think you're right, Grant. I just thought that was
one of the most perfect episodes of television I'd seen
in a long time. I completely agree with Grant. It
was stunning.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, and I think as well as the motive qualities
that episode, it really nails that idea of there is
joy to be had in service, and not in a
kind of weird medieval surfdom way, but just in diligently
doing a job, really really.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
But also just this gorgeous character act. You just saw
this character again, you know, there was this click with
him and you, and as he clicked I kind of
clicked with him as well. Like you just went from
the annoying cousin too. I just went I get you,
I love you. You know, I completely agree. Thank you
for bringing that up.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Ready for more the beer, to be honest more, which
is well not what you'd necessarily think when you're right
in the thick of the more stressful.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Episodes, you'd like a little bit more. Always good to
catch up, just reminding people my old house is on Prime?
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
My old house loved it?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Okay, So that's a film if.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You and Grammy's are coming up in fab and we'll
have some more info on on where you can watch
that closer to the title time.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Thank you so much.
