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