NEW YORK -- Bruno Mars and Kendrick Lamar are walking into Grammy Awards with three wins each, putting them as favourites for top awards like album and record of the year. The actress won posthumously for best spoken word album for her audiobook recording of her 2016 memoir, “The Princess Diarist,” which chronicled her experiences making the original “Star Wars.”

Fisher beat out Neil deGrasse Tyson, Shelly Peiken, Bruce Springsteen, Bernie Sanders and Mark Ruffalo in the category. This was the actress’ second Grammy nomination; she was nominated in the same category in 2009 for her other memoir, “Wishful Drinking.”

Fisher died in 2016, several days after going into cardiac arrest while on a flight.
Leonard Cohen and Carrie Fisher win posthumously.
