Justin Timberlake's 'Can't Stop The Feeling!' wins for visual media. Next stop, Oscars?

Who will win album of the year? Will Beyoncé or Adele make history? How music's biggest night pans out is anyone's guess. But one thing is certain: The 59th Grammy Awards are getting started and there's lots to pay attention to.

The red carpet is officially open and the pre-telecast ceremony, where the majority of the award are given is underway. The main show will kick-off at 5 p.m. on CBS, with James Corden hosting the live telecast. Beyoncé, Adele, Katy Perry, Metallica, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Keith Urban, the Weeknd, Daft Punk and Bruno Mars are among the artists set to hit the stage.

Justin Timberlake's 'Can't Stop The Feeling!' wins for visual media. Next stop, Oscars?

The Oscar race may have just gotten a little jolt from Justin Timberlake's Grammy win for best song written for visual media.

The disco-style tune "Can't Stop The Feeling!," from the "Trolls" soundtrack, won the Grammy for song for visual media over tracks from "Suicide Squad," "Snowden," "Zootopia" and "Alice Through The Looking Glass."

Some Oscar favorites, however, such as works from "La La Land" and "Moana," were released after the eligibility period concluded for this year's Grammy Awards.

"Can't Stop The Feeling!" is nominated for best original song at the Academy Awards. Although the tune lost to "City of Stars" from  "La La Land" at the Golden Globes, this Grammy win could give it some momentum.

Timberlake's single, written with Max Martin and Shellback, isn't, however, expected to win at the Academy Awards. The song has stiff competition for the Oscar, as two songs from "La La Land" and one from "Moana" are in contention.
