The Grammys are currently broadcast on CBS. By the morning of July 10, hurricane warnings were in effect in the U.S. So, for example, John Lennon & Yoko Ono's album Double Fantasy was released in November, 1980, a month-and-a-half too late to qualify for the 1981 Grammys, and thus eligible for the 1982 awards (it eventually won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year). The storm continued moving north-northwest towards the central Gulf Coast, which had seen the landfalls of Tropical Storm Arlene in June and Hurricane Cindy the previous week.

Unlike the Academy Awards, for which the eligibility 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). At 1200 UTC, the storm reached its peak intensity of 930 mbar (hPa), surpassing Hurricane Audrey and setting a new record for the strongest storm to form prior to August; the new record stood for less than two weeks before Hurricane Emily surpassed it by reaching a pressure of 929 mbar.^[5]. Of the "big three" music awards shows, the Grammys are the highest rated. This prediction was borne out when Dennis rapidly reintensified on the afternoon of July 9, a reintensification described by NHC as having occurred "at a rate that bordered on insane."^[4] The storm reached Category 4 intensity again on the morning of July 10. In fact, many artists who are placed in high regard, artistically, by many fans and critics (such as Elvis Presley, Mariah Carey, Garth Brooks, Pink Floyd, Kenny Rogers, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, ) have been awarded very few Grammys. However, NHC forecasts continued to indicate the possibility of a return to Category 4 status after convection was re-established. Hence, the Grammys are not taken seriously by some musicians and music fans. Crossing Cuba's mountainous terrain disrupted the storm's circulation, weakening Dennis to Category 1 intensity.

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. Dennis then slammed into south-central Cuba just west of Punta Mangles Altos on July 8, again with 140 mph (220 km/h) winds.^[3].

Like the Oscars, the Grammys, which currently have 108 categories within 30 genres of music (such as pop, gospel, and rap), are voted upon by peers - voting members of the Recording Academy - rather than being based upon popularity (as with the AMAs) or sales and chart achievements (the BMAs). On July 7, Hurricane warnings were issued for Cuba at 11 am EDT (1500 UTC).

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. Meteorologists from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) stated, "this type of erratic motion is not unusual for intensifying major hurricanes."^[2]. The Grammy Awards (originally the Gramophone Awards), presented by the Recording Academy (an association of Americans professionally involved in the recorded music industry) for outstanding achievements in the recording industry, is one of four major music awards shows held annually in the United States (the Billboard Music Awards, the American Music Awards, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, make up the rest).
