The ACM Awards nominations are here! On Tuesday, The Academy of Country Music (ACM) and Dick Clark Productions announced the nominations for the 59th annual ceremony, which will stream exclusively on Prime Video May 16.
Luke Combs leads the pack with eight nods, followed by Megan Moroney and Morgan Wallen, who each earned six nominations. Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson also did well, nabbing five noms each. Jelly Roll and Jordan Davis round out notable nominations with four apiece.
Should either Combs or Wilson win Entertainer of the Year, they will clinch the coveted Triple Crown Award, which consists of an Entertainer of the Year win, plus wins in an act’s respective New Artist and Artist categories.
First time nominees include Jelly Roll, Kassi Ashton, Tyler Childers, Ashley Cooke, Hannah Ellis, Flatland Cavalry, Kameron Marlowe, Kylie Morgan, Neon Union, Restless Road, Conner Smith and Tigirlily Gold.
The show will celebrate country music’s biggest stars and emerging talent, and feature unforgettable performances, exclusive collaborations, and unexpected moments that will captivate fans worldwide.
