Award season is here and triple j are excited to announce the nominees for the 2024 J Awards.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the J Awards, with Australia’s top-tier talent recognised for their incredible achievements. Unlike many music awards, there are just five categories, with nominees competing for Australian Album of the Year, Unearthed Artist of the Year, Double J Australian Artist Of The Year, Music Video of the Year and Live Act Of The Year.

More than 25 Aussie artists have been given the nod, with Amyl And The Sniffers, currently riding high after the release of their third album Cartoon Darkness, leading the charge with three nominations. The raucous punk rockers are in the running for Album of the Year, Double J Australian Artist of the Year and Music Video of the Year for their rocking single ‘U Should Not Be Doing That’.

First Nations hip hop group 3% are up for two awards – Album of the Year and Music Video of the Year for ‘Won’t Stop’ featuring Jessica Mauboy.

Special mention must go to Adelaide’s own aleksiah who is up for Unearthed Artist of the Year. Fingers crossed.

The winners of the J Awards are announced on Thursday, November 14, with the judging panel made up of the on-air teams at triple j, Unearthed, Double j and rage.

Last year saw G Flip take out Album of the Year with her ARIA Album Chart #1 record Drummer, rising star Miss Kaninna claimed the Unearthed Artist of the Year gong and Yorta Yorta man Briggs was awarded Double J Australian Artist of the Year.

Emerging Brisbane-based hip hop artist Shaba won Music Video of the Year for the Moonboy Studios’ directed ‘4K To the Middle East’ featuring Uzi, while the inventive Genesis Owusu deservedly won Australian Live Act of the Year. Anyone who has seen him perform live understands how incredible his stage performance is.
