The Academy of Country Music Awards are coming up and we’re so excited! Here’s a list of our favorite moments from past ACM Awards.

What are the ACM Awards?

The Academy of Country Music Awards, also known as the ACM Awards, are an annual country music awards show, founded in 1964. The show is produced by the Academy of Country Music and broadcasts live on CBS. This year, the show is taking place on April 15th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

What is the history of the ACM Awards?

The Academy of Country Music Awards were first held in 1966, making them one of the longest-running award shows in country music. The Awards were created to recognize the best and brightest in country music, and they are now one of the most prestigious award shows in the genre. The ACM Awards are voted on by Academy members, who are comprised of country music professionals. This includes artists, producers, managers, agents, publicists, and executives.

How are the ACM Awards different from other country music awards?

The Academy of Country Music Awards, also known as the ACM Awards, are an annual awards show produced by the Academy of Country Music to recognize country music artists for their achievements in the industry. The award show is one of the largest country music events in the world, and it is broadcast live on television and radio every year.

The ACM Awards are different from other country music award shows because they focus on honoring the artists and musicians who have made a significant impact on the genre, rather than just awarding the best-selling or most popular songs and albums. This makes the ACM Awards one of the most prestigious award shows in all of music.

Who is nominated for the ACM Awards this year?

The Academy of Country Music Awards are coming up on Sunday, April 7th and there are a few big names up for awards this year. Some of the nominees this year are Keith Urban, Florida Georgia Line, Miranda Lambert, and Maren Morris. There are a total of nine nominees in the category of Entertainer of the Year.

Who are the frontrunners?

The American Country Music Awards are almost here, and the anticipation is building for who will take home top honors. This year’s nominees were announced earlier this month, and there are some clear frontrunners in several categories.

As far as Entertainer of the Year goes, Lambert will be up against some stiff competition including last year’s winner Garth Brooks, as well as Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and Luke Bryan. It’s sure to be a close race!

In the Male Artist of the Year category, Stapleton and Urban will go head-to-head, while Bryan is nominated for both Male Artist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. Bryan is also nominated for Vocal Event of the Year for his collaboration with Little Big Town on “Knockin’ Boots.”
