		However, the Grammys, usually held in February, (last of what are considered the "big three" music awards shows, including the BMA and AMA shows) are considered the approximate equivalent to the Oscars, in the music world.
		Unlike the Academy Awards, for which the eligiblilty period begins January 1, the eligibility period for the Grammys begins October 1, which results in September being considered the Christmas sales period for the music industry (in which artists generally release big albums to qualify for the next year's Grammy).
		So, for example, John Lennon & Yoko Ono's album Double Fantasy was released in November, 1980, a month-and-a-half too late to qualify for the 1981 Grammys, and thus eligible for the 1982 awards (it eventually won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year).

		As usual, the categories span an incredibly wide range: Best Contemporary Jazz Album for Béla Fleck and the Flecktones' latest, Outbound; Best Pop Instrumental Performance for "Zona Mona" (a single on Outbound); and Best Country Instrumental Performance with Alison Brown on her album Leaving Cottondale.
