I also don't understand the nomination process, Randy. Just thinking aloud.....
Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me (EP) was released September 30, 2014, the last day of the eligibility award period for the 2015 Grammys. Therefore, from a date perspective, the EP was qualified.
It wasn't nominated in any category. Perhaps EP's are not eligible for Grammys? Or it wasn't submitted as a nomination because a full album release was planned for the following year?
"I'm Not Gonna Miss You" (single) must have been released on September 30th, too, maybe earlier? As we know, it won the 2015 Grammy for Best Country Song. This single is the studio version, right?, not the documentary version with The Wrecking Crew.
Also released as a single (same as the EP version?) in 2014 was The Band Perry's cover of "Gentle On My Mind", and it won for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, 2015.
Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me (LP) was released February 17, 2015, which makes it eligible for a 2016 Grammy. The album received a nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media, 2016.
As you posted, Randy, I'm Not Gonna Miss You didn't receive the nom for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Perhaps because the song was released in 2014, disqualifying it because the same single was entered in a previous year? And/or because the single was not a new, previously unreleased recording? We don't know why.... This category seems fitting, I agree!
Qualification guidelines are different for the category of Best Compilation Soundtrack Album. From the 55th Grammy Awards' "Basic Grammy Guidelines":
The only categories that allow entries not newly recorded are Best Historical Album, Best Compilation Soundtrack Album, Best Surround Sound Album, Best Remixed Recording, Best Recording Package (if package is new), Best Album Notes (if notes are new) and certain multi-disc set releases in the classical Field. Based on these guidelines, the I'll Be Me Soundtrack was eligible for submission for a 2016 award because of the different qualification for best compilation soundtracks.
Ashley Campbell's single, "Remembering", was released June 30, 2015. It didn't receive a 2016 nomination, but it could have received one based on the release date, right? Or would this single have been considered a previously released recording because it was included on the EP and also on the Soundtrack?
I have a feeling that the award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album, 2016, won't be part of the main event broadcast. The winner may be announced / presented online prior to the live Grammy Awards show -- just like Glen Campbell's award last year for Best Country Song. Lots of fans missed seeing Glen's win and Kim Campbell's acceptance speech with Julian Raymond because we didn't know in advance about the online pre-show. But this year, we will be expecting a pre-show and looking for details to post here!
