 | | The Grammy Awards, presented by the Recording Academy (an association of Americans professionally involved in the recorded music industry) for outstanding achievements in musicalrecordings, is one of four major music awards shows held annually (the others being the Billboard Music Awards, the American Music Awards, and the Rock and Roll Hall ofFame Induction Ceremony). |
 | | However, the Grammys (usually held in February as the last of the "big three"music awards shows--the others being the BMAs and the AMAs) is the approximate equivalent, in the music world, to the Oscars. |
 | | The awards are named for the trophy given for them, a small gilded statuette of a gramophone. |
