The Greatest Showman won the Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. Unfortunately, he could not be there in person to celebrate. In an Instagram video, Hugh filmed his reaction while surrounded by family and friends at the moment the award was announced.


Before posting the video, he added a caption thanking the "entire cast and crew." In the film, Jackman plays P.T. Barnum as he works to put together "the Greatest Show on Earth."
