Each year, awards are created and engraved with the name of winners following the ceremony. Because the awards are not distributed until after the award show, props are used during filming each year.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">GRAMMY Award Exhibit at The Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Want to learn more about the history of the GRAMMYs?
