The Recording Academy has announced some important dates and deadlines relating to the next Grammy Awards.
The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards will take place on January 26 of next year. As expected, it will also happen once again at the Staples Center in Los Angeles (thanks to a disastrous New York attempt in 2018).
CBS will broadcast the Grammy Awards, beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern Time (5 p.m. Pacific Time). Prior to this, on November 20, the Academy will announce all 84 nominations for the awards, which will cover recordings released from the beginning of October of last year to the end of August this year.
According to long-running custom, the Grammys only grants awards to materials formally submitted. That explains some glaring omissions in the past, though we’re guessing that significant releases are getting ‘pre-approved’ to avoid any embarrassing misses.
For anything smaller than Drake, however, proper submissions are advised.
