Awards season
Awards season is an annual time period between November and February every year in the United States, when a majority of significant entertainment award events take place. In October ballots are sent out to voters, to collect nominations for the first award ceremonies, which are usually the Governors Awards or the independent Gotham Awards, to begin awards season in November. The season usually culminates in the Academy Awards in late February or early March (the latter in Winter Olympics years). The Grammy Awards are also presented during awards season.
