Carrie Fisher just won her first-ever Grammy
Carrie Fisher may be gone, but her impact is still being felt.
The late space princess won a posthumous award at the Grammys on Sunday, getting the nod for the Best Spoken Word Album award for the recording of her memoir, The Princess Diarist.
Fisher beat out other luminaries Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bruce Springsteen, Bernie Sanders And Mark Ruffalo, and Shelly Peiken.

It's Fisher's first Grammy, having previously been nominated for the same award in 2009 for her recording of Wishful Drinking. Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd, paid tribute to her mother on Instagram following the announcement.
"Princess Diarist was the last profesh(ish) thing my momby and I got to do together," Lourd wrote.
"I wish she was here to carry me down the red carpet in some bizarre floral ensemble but instead we’ll celebrate in true Carrie style: in bed in front of the TV over cold Coca Colas and warm e cigs. I’m beyond proud."
Fisher's long time Star Wars co-star Mark Hamill also celebrated the win on Twitter.
