This marked the second time when the Latin Recording Academy had to delay or cancel one of their signature events. In 2001, the Latin Recording Academy was forced to cancel the2nd Annual Latin Grammy Awardsdue to theSeptember 11 attacks.Instead, the winners of those awards were announced at a press conference the following month.[2][3]The 18th Annual Latin Grammy Awards were still held on time, on November 16, 2017, despite the delay of the announcement of the nominations.
