The Recording Academy said Monday morning it would delay its announcement of the 61st Grammy Award nominees to avoid competing with memorial services and public viewings for former President George H. W. Bush, who died Friday.
The organization had planned to announce nominees early Wednesday morning but will now share nominees in select categories on Friday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern via "CBS This Morning" and Apple Music.
A full nominations list across 84 categories will follow at 5:45 a.m. PST on Friday at Grammy.com _ the academy's website _ as well as all of its social-media platforms.
Nominations cover recordings released between Oct. 1, 2017, and Sept. 30, 2018.
