Chris Young Leads ACM Nominations
The ACM nominations were announced on Thursday, February 10th, and Chris Young scored big, picking up seven nods.
He’s never won an ACM award, so his odds of finally winning one are pretty good.
Similarly, Walker Hayes picked up his first-ever ACM nominations, he’s up for five awards.
Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton also received five nominations.
And Morgan Wallen freeze got four nominations, including Best Album for “Dangerous”.
There’s a 40% chance for a female Entertainer of the Year. Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood are up against Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, and Luke Combs.
Who got snubbed? Billboard says Mickey Guyton, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, and Blake Shelton.
The ACMs are March 7th on Amazon Prime. Dolly Parton, Jimmie Allen, and Gabby Barrett are the hosts.
