Apple TV picked up one Grammy from four nominations at the 2026 Grammy Awards. The win came from F1 The Movie, which continues to build momentum during this awards season.
The Recording Academy announced the nominees last November, which included four Apple TV projects across music and film categories.
F1 The Movie lands a Grammy win
Chris Stapleton won Best Country Solo Performance for Bad As I Used To Be from F1 The Movie. He did not attend the ceremony, so fellow musician Sierra Hull accepted the award for him on stage.
This win marked the 15th award for F1 The Movie this season, which shows how strong the film’s overall reception has become.
