“Freak out in a Moonage Daydream...”
Brett Morgen’s David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream has won this year’s Grammy Award for Best Music Film, and Brett Morgen was there to accept it in person.
“When I first started this project, I met with David Bowie’s executors,” Brett said during his speech. “Bill [Zysblat] said to me, 'David is not here to authorize this film, so it cannot be Bowie on Bowie. You have to embrace it. It’s going to be Morgan on Bowie.' And there are not a lot of people in this day and age who would hand over all of these archives and let me make an art project.”
After thanking the executives as well as his wife and kids, Brett closed by thanking “David Bowie, the single greatest artist who’s walked the face of this earth.”

Moonage Daydream was up against stiff competition in the shape of the other nominees in the Best Music Film category, including How I'm Feeling Now (Lewis Capaldi), Live From Paris, The Big Steppers Tour (Kendrick Lamar), I Am Everything (Little Richard), and Dear Mama (Tupac Shakur).
Congratulations to everyone involved in this remarkable work...particularly David Bowie!
