Interstellar was a fantastic movie, but I missed the Jazz music in it...

The "Music For Visual Media Field" is a separate category from the "Jazz Field" so not all of the nominees would be jazz related, but there were a couple of films -- Birdman and Whiplash -- which have been discussed here, so I included that category as well.

Another category that may be of interest:

Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album:
The Silver Lining: The Songs Of Jerome Kern — Tony Bennett & Bill Charlap
Shadows In The Night — Bob Dylan
Stages — Josh Groban
No One Ever Tells You — Seth MacFarlane
My Dream Duets — Barry Manilow (& Various Artists)
