The 44th Annual Grammy Awards, held on February 27, 2002, celebrated music from October 1, 2000, to September 30, 2001. The soundtrack for the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Alicia Keys, with her soulful voice and piano prowess, had a breakthrough night, winning Best New Artist and taking Song of the Year for her poignant "Fallin'."
