2023 Grammy Predictions - Visual Media Categories, Best Music Video, and Best Music Film

Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media
Will Win - Encanto
Could Win - Elvis,  Stranger Things: Soundtrack from the Netflix Series, Season 4 (Vol 2), or West Side Story
Should Win - Encanto
Commentary - Encanto's flame has hopefully not fizzled over the course of a year. Elvis has the heat with its Oscar nominations, and Stranger Thing's music has become a huge part of the pop culture. But I am banking on Encanto's charm to carry the day. 

Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media (Includes Film And Television)
Will Win - Germaine Franco "Encanto"
Could Win -  Nicholas Britell "Succession: Season 3", Jonny Greenwood "The Power of the Dog"
Should Win - Nicholas Britell "Succession: Season 3"
Commentary - This one feels up in the air. Encanto could sweep both categories, which is what I am predicting. But I could see Jonny Greenwood's powerful score, or the brilliant work of Nicholas Britell sway voters. 

Best Song Written For Visual Media
Will Win - We Don't Talk About Bruno from Encanto
Could Win - Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick or Be Alive from King Richard
Should Win - We Don't Talk About Bruno from Encanto
Commentary - Be Alive is Beyonce and Hold My Hand is a recent Oscar nominee with Lady Gaga. They could easily win. But I am sticking with the power of We Don't Talk About Bruno, which is still a popular and pervasive hit. 

Best Music Video
Will Win - Taylor Swift "All to Well, The Short Film"
Could Win - Adele "Easy On Me"
Should Win - Taylor Swift "All to Well, The Short Film"
Commentary - Duh. But watch out for Adele. 

Best Music Film
Will Win - Adele One Night Only
Could Win - Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story or Billie Eilish Live At The O2
Should Win - Adele One Night Only or Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story
Commentary - An Emmy sweep makes me think this one is locked.
