  Grammy Awards
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.
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 year's Grammy).

 About Paul's Texan, and other guitars on the GrammysÂ…
In a Grammy Awards show noteworthy for the absence of guitars in the hands of most of today's top musical artists, Paul McCartney's appearance with his famous Epiphone Texan acoustic was a highlight of the night for guitar fans.
In his pre-taped acceptance of the Grammys' President's Award for the Beatles last night (2/8), McCartney sat in a roomful of recording equipment, holding his 1964 Texan in his familiar left-handed "upside down" playing position.
The Beatles were responsible for another "star guitar" on the Grammy telecast - the sunburst Epiphone Casino that Vince Gill played in a Beatles tribute number with Sting and Dave Matthews.
