The 60th Grammy Awards ceremony will be on Jan. 28, 2018. For the 59th GRAMMY Awards, albums had to be released by Sept. 30, 2016.
They may have moved the release date back as part of a strategy to have Haley's album be more top of mind when it comes to Grammy voting. Keep in mind the Grammys are awarded by The Recording Academy, and Haley's album involved prior winners going to great lengths to record live to tape.
Consider:
Quote:The Academy Awards occur every late February and films that win awards typically see a boost in sales. To take advantage of this, the studios release films they deem "Oscar worthy" in the fall, before the eligibility cut-off, so that the films remain fresh in the memories of critics and Academy members right before the Awards, increasing their chances of being nominated.
I feel certain it'll be entered. They receive 20,000 entries every year. The question is whether it will be nominated. I think the chances are good given the track records of those involved.
Quote:Awards in several categories are distributed annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position."
Sept. 22nd is just three weeks before 1st round voting begins. 5 weeks before it ends.
