Award season 2025 is officially in full swing. Earlier this month, we saw “The Brutalist” and Adrien Brody win big at the Golden Globes, and just last week Oscar nominations were announced, bestowing nominations upon Jewish Academy Award hopefuls like Timothée Chalamet and Mikey Madison. Next up: The 67th Grammy Awards, which will be held on Feb. 2, 2025.
This year’s award for the highest honors in music promises a showdown between industry heavyweights like Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift with breakout stars Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii and, of course, the brat herself, Charli XCX. But amidst all of these very famous and very not-Jewish talent, there are some notable Jews nominated at the 2025 Grammy Awards. For example, Jack Antonoff, while not nominated for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical this year, scored five nominations for his work producing “Short n’ Sweet” and “The Tortured Poets Department.” Similarly, A.G. Cook (of “You gon’ jump if A.G. made it” fame) received three nominations for his work on “Brat.” Though I’m not sure if Cook identifies as Jewish, his mother is Israeli architect Yael Reisner.
So, before the ceremony airs this weekend, here are all the big Jewish nominees to get excited about at the 67th Grammy Awards:
