 Grammy Awards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
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 Academy Award, in the music world.
Some feel that because Grammy voters tend to vote conservatively, and are marketed to by record companies, the most widely-recognized Grammys tend to go to either well-established artists or those being hyped by the recording industry.
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 years Grammy).

LEFT OF COOL opens with the frantic funk-out entitled, "Throwdown At The Hoedown," an instrumental replete with foreboding melodies and wildly fast bursts of banjo- and bass-playing (indeed, Van Halen-style fretboard tapping has arrived on the banjo).

 Filmtracks: Batman Forever (Elliot Goldenthal)
Nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for "Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television"
It is a schizophrenic carnival of noise, shifting from one set of bizarre instruments to another with no regard for consistency or power.
Overall, Goldenthal thankfully did his best to incorporate Elfman's Batman theme without crossing legal boundaries, but he also created a wild, eclectic, and unorganized mass of noise that is unlistenable when heard apart from the film's similar, indecisive cinematography.
