Surely that makes it a gray area? It wasn’t a posthumous award in reality. You can’t get nominated for an MBE when you’re dead. But you still get the MBE if you die after the nomination.

I think it’s debatable, Wikipedia still has Pinetop as the oldest winner and his age is counted from the day he won the award. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_milestones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
