What an odd and yet wonderful group of nominees. Particularly in male vocalist, with the the Shelton/Bryan/Hunt shutout. Also loving the Joey + Rory nod!

Wait, I'm just now seeing the Album nominees. ...Chris Young? Really? We had critical darlings from Monroe and Musgraves, and to a slightly lesser but more commercially appealing extents, Underwood and Maddie & Tae, and the category was made into a sausage fest? I mean, not that it matters, since Stapleton will win anyways, but yikes.

"I'm Coming Over" and "Tangled Up" over "Wild Ones" and "Pageant Material". Sad.

"I'm Coming Over" over "Start Here" let that sink in. Also I wish "The Blade" would've been nominated. I still don't understand how Brett Eldredge got nominated his album was ok he wasn't a headliner. I just am very confused on what got him Male vocalist over Luke Bryan who despite very terrible music is still a good singer nonetheless.

LMAO.
The joke is getting bigger.
Miranda really gets EOTY? Her last singleS flopped hard, in sales and radio airplay.
No Album for Kacey? What kind of BS... all male in the nominations...
and Carrie gets Female only. Lol lol lol lol. Carrie better attends only to perform and then leave the show after.

Miranda has been nowhere to be found and still managed 3 nominations. And she has FVOTY on lock based on somehow managing enough votes for another EOTY nomination. The nominations look good overall, but I guess I'll just never get over the injustice Carrie has been served by these awards organizations. I know she isn't the only one, but she's the most glaring example of the past five-six years. It's just really disheartening as a fan.

Where is the song of the year? It'll be announced at a later date. Quality of anything (especially music) is always subjective...but I'm Comin' Over getting an Album of the Year nod is, wow. I mean, I'm not so much surprised since the title track was one of the biggest hist of the year but Chris' album wouldn't have made my top 10 list, let alone top 5. Rhett I unfortunately understand since he's been wildly successful commercially this past year but yeah, the Album of the Year nominees were what I was most disappointed in.

Lambert seriously got another EOTY nod? Lmao. I would check out Windmills Country's post on mjsbigblog.com; he has explained it better than anyone else why she always gets the noms. Even with an explanation it doesn't make it right. Honestly, the whole WME block, is pure bull. These awards have become jokes with the way they "nominate and award" people. Really a lousy year for these things.

Really surprised to see that Brett Eldredge got in for Male Vocalist. I guess he's like the Lee Brice of this awards show (he randomly got in there one year but I don't remember when), but he really shouldn't have made it in there over Luke Bryan or Blake Shelton or Sam Hunt or even Thomas Rhett, though I guess I don't care that they weren't nominated either, and Chris Stapleton will obviously still win anyway regardless. Also surprised that Miranda got into EOTY, and I do hope that doesn't mean she still wins FVOTY. I love the girl to death but there's no justification for that and I really just can't imagine her still winning it even with her getting an EOTY nod. But we'll see. What I'm most upset about though is that awful shut-out of any females in the Album of the Year category. What a mess. There definitely should've been at least 2 in there between the likes of Carrie Underwood, Ashley Monroe, and Kacey Musgraves. Chris Young definitely should not be in there (even though I like the album), nor should Thomas Rhett, imo. Shame. ... the silver lining is that Traveller will obviously win anyway. What I do like about the nominations is that Jana Kramer got into FVOTY again, and I love that Joey + Rory got a nod for Vocal Duo. Still hoping for a win for Maddie & Tae but a win for J+R would be quite the wonderful blessing. Either way, just no FGL again please. Also happy to see "Burning House" get a nomination for Single of the Year, though I think "Girl Crush" still has that wrapped up (I'd rather it go to Cam though, personally). The Video of the Year nominees are wonderful, especially seeing "Biscuits" get in there since Kacey was shut out of everything else but the obvious FVOTY. :'(

Luke's fandom is throwing a huge hissy fit because EOTY isn't fan voted. I'll post my opinions later, but I'd certainly rather not see the faux "anti-FGL" girls win duo.

What exactly is fake about Maddie & Tae, just wondering. If this is still about GIACS well that song is actually not representative of their debut album. You should give it a listen.

Full list of nominees: abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/acm-awards-2016-complete-list-nominees/story?id=36627322I'm honestly quite disappointed by the nominations this year. It really feels like the ACM is going overboard and trying to "freshen up" several categories, but by doing so they're leaving out artists that are more deserving. Chris Young's I'm Comin' Over and Thomas Rhett's Tangled Up should not be nominated for any sort of award, let alone Album of the Year. I'm stunned that Pageant Material didn't get in, and I definitely thought Storyteller and maybe even Ashley's The Blade had a better chance of being nominated than Chris' and Thomas' albums. Entertainer -- Miranda again? Really? Kenny Chesney had one of the biggest tours of the year, and that includes all-genres. I believe his ticket sales were surpassed only by Garth. I know Miranda did a lot of touring but she really lost a lot of momentum at radio, whereas Kenny had four #1's off his latest album. I just hate how over-nominated and over-awarded Miranda is. Male Vocalist -- Like I said above, it feels like the ACM is going overboard by nominating newer artists in categories that they aren't "big enough" to be nominated in yet. I get that Brett Eldredge has a good voice, but so far he's wasted it on material that's average at best. I'm no Luke Bryan fan (I detest most of his music, actually), but if you compare his year to Brett's year...well, there's really no comparison. There's absolutely no way that Brett should be in there over Luke. And if they didn't want to nominate Luke, surely they could have gone with Blake* or Kenny or Keith or someone else? We all know that there's no shortage of successful male artists in the country genre...I wouldn't even put Brett in a top 10 list. *Given that Blake scored 0 nominations, I have to wonder if that was a calculated move by his team? He's won a lot in recent years, but maybe they don't want too much publicity in the wake of his divorce. Perhaps they felt that a few nominations for Blake would make it feel like he was being shoved in viewers' faces..? Female Vocalist -- No real surprises. I thought Cam or Ashley would have a bit better of a chance than Jana, but they probably thought it was too soon for Cam. Jana's had a couple hits now and she released her sophomore album before the voting began, so her inclusion makes sense. It seems like Miranda is going to win yet another award here, which is simply unbelievable. I think Carrie's the most deserving this year, but a Kacey win would be great, too. Heck, I'd even prefer Kelsea to win it over Miranda. Group of the Year -- I guess I'm not too surprised that Lady A wasn't nominated. I'm guessing their team didn't push for their inclusion at all, especially since they've publicly stated that they're taking a bit of a break. Parmalee should have been in over EYB, though. Duo of the Year -- Pretty much as expected. New Male Vocalist -- Why are Brett Eldredge and Thomas Rhett eligible/nominated here? This is straight from the ACM voting criteria, courtesy of their website: An artist may be a nominee two times in a three-year period. Once an artist releases the lead single from a third studio album, he will no longer be eligible in this category. If an artist is a winner in the New Male Vocalist category his first year on a ballot, he will not be eligible in any New categories again. Both Brett and Thomas were nominated in the New Artist category at both the 49th and 50th ACM Awards. This year makes it 3 years in a row so I'm not sure why it was deemed that they are still eligible. The only thing I can think of is that the ACM views this year as a loophole, since it's split up into "New Male Artist", "New Female Artist", and "New Duo/Group", whereas the last 2 years it was simply "Best New Artist". There were a total of 8 New Artist nominees at the 49th ACM Awards, though, and the 50th had 8 New Artist nominees as well (each year it was a mixture of males, females, and duos/groups, although of course the category was dominated by males). By this logic (treating "New Male Artist" as a separate category than "Best New Artist"), both Thomas and Brett would be eligible next year as well, assuming that neither of them has released the lead single to their 3rd studio album before the end of this year. New Female Vocalist -- Kelsea, Cam, Mickey, and RaeLynn were the only 4 that were even eligible.. New Group/Duo -- Pretty much as expected, although I'm very surprised to see Dan + Shay left out. I figured Maddie & Tae and Old Dominion were locks, and obviously both A Thousand Horses and Brothers Osborne had good chances as well. Parmalee also had a big hit but I'm very surprised that they were picked ahead of Dan + Shay. I would've ranked Dan + Shay as the 3rd most likely to be nominated here, behind only Maddie & Tae and Old Dominion. Single of the Year -- No real surprises here, other than maybe the fact that it's 6 nominees instead of 5. I correctly predicted 3 of the 6 nominees: "Burning House", "Girl Crush", and "Take Your Time". I thought maybe the voters would save "Die A Happy Man" for next year (if it hadn't been nominated this year, it would have still been eligible next year), but it makes total sense that they nominated it now, given that it'll still be very popular yet come April, and of course this way the ACM can say that they nominated it before the CMA did. And I'm not surprised by the other nominees; both "Buy Me A Boat" and "I'm Comin' Over" are very deserving. I didn't predict them, but I did have them in my top 10-12 for this category. Vocal Event -- I got 3 of the 5 right. I forgot about "Hangover Tonight", mostly because Billboard didn't credit Stapleton on the song (only Mediabase did). And then I should've gone with "Home Alone Tonight", but again I thought they'd wait until next year (silly me). I'm absolutely stunned that Blake Shelton and Ashley Monroe weren't nominated for "Lonely Tonight", but this definitely supports my theory that perhaps Blake's team didn't even really push for nominations this year (in the wake of his divorce). And no "Diamond Rings & Old Barstools"? This just proves that these award shows really don't like Tim McGraw. Tim's last ACM award came in 2005 when he won Song & Single of the Year for "Live Like You Were Dying". Since then the only nomination he has received was for Musical Event of the Year for "Feel Like A Rock Star" at the 2012 CMA's, and that's probably only because it was a Kenny Chesney song. Even the mega-smash "Highway Don't Care" couldn't get nominated for Vocal Event by either the ACM or the CMA. That's 10+ years with only 1 nomination for Tim, in any category, at both award shows.

They were a duo LONG before they met Scott. And Cole is not on BMLG, but FGL is. Very confused.

Billboard nailed down a lot of my thoughts. ACM Awards: The Biggest Snubs and Surprises (via Billboard)-I hope Lambert thanks WME before anyone else in her acceptance speech this year if she wins EOTY, because they're the only reason she's there. Her nomination here makes zero sense beyond the political spectrum. -Eldredge in Male Vocalist is just confusing, but not as confusing as I'm Comin' Over being in Album of the Year. I still can't wrap my head around that one. Don't quite think I'll ever be able to, either. -Lambert has Female Vocalist of the Year under lock and key. Musgraves doesn't have the commercial appeal, Ballerini doesn't have the political clout, Kramer is the obvious "Who's on the second rung of the ladder that would be plausible enough to pull up for a single year's nomination so we don't have to have 2 newcomers in one category?" selection (although Cam would've been a better suit), and while Underwood is the most deserving this year, we all know that her time at the microphone accepting an award at industry-based Country awards shows has long since passed and likely ain't coming back. So, Lambert wins. Again. Yay. How exciting and diverse. -The ACM's love for Aldean is mystifying, but I recognize that he's one of the format's biggest and most consistent stars (in good ways and bad). I just wish we'd stop paying so much attention to someone who cares so little about artistic progression...and being a decent human being. -Lol, I love the fact that the Luke Bryan fans are having such a huge conniption fit over EOTY no longer being fan-voted. It's kind of like watching what most Underwood fans normally do, but from an "outsider's" perspective. Almost entertaining, actually. But hey, it's worth it if we don't have to be bombarded with more terrible, awful, contrived promotions that tell people to vote. Lambert's loss last year after dredging everyone on God's green earth, even including Beyoncé, to post something about voting was just excruciatingly embarrassing to see.

Wasn't "Storyteller" eligible for album? Why isn't "Pageant Material" or "The Blade" or even "Start Here" there instead of "Tangled Up" or "I’m Comin’ Over"? Poor Carrie, let's hope the rest of the singles perform better and she gets a chance next year.

Poor Carrie, let's up the rest of the singles perform better and she gets a chance next year. Carrie isn't nominated because it's kind of a thing now that she doesn't get nominated for country music awards. Can't explain the others; but it might have something to do with them being female in the sausage fest that is the current country music scene.

Wasn't "Storyteller" eligible for album? Why isn't "Pageant Material" or "The Blade" or even "Start Here" there instead of "Tangled Up" or "I’m Comin’ Over"? The eligibility period for the ACM's was November 27, 2014 - November 57, 2015, so yes "Storyteller" was eligible for a nomination. The album of the year category is always my favorite of any awards show, and I find this year's list of nominees a mixed bag. While it's great to see Chris Stapleton and Eric get nominated, it's a shame there wasn't one female artist nominated. Both Ashley Monroe and Kacey Musgraves had one of the best albums of 2015, so to not see one of their names on that list is disappointing. I myself wasn't all that surprised by Chris Young's nomination (my 2016 predictions had him getting an album of the year nomination at the award shows), but I highly doubt most of the people in the voting process even listened to his entire (bland) album and have only heard the lead single "I'm Comin' Over." I always expect to see Jason Aldean's name come up for the ACM's, so no surprises by his Entertainer and Male Vocalist nominations. I was surprised Blake Shelton was left off the list this year, however. Billboard listed Lady Antebellum's lack of a group nomination as a snub, but I don't think so. They announced somewhat of a hiatus and after all their last era wasn't that strong. I found myself rather bored with their last album and am hoping whatever they release next has more energy. Did anyone catch that the New Male Vocalist has five nominees, while the New Female Vocalist only has four? Welcome to 2016 mainstream country music. The single of the year category looks rather competive. "Girl Crush" has some tough competition with "Burning House" and "Die A Happy Man." It's possible some voters may think "Girl Crush" has won its fair share of awards and vote for the two most recent hit songs at radio. Glad to see Dierks land Male Vocalist and Video of the Year nominations. Here's hoping "Riser" might sneak in a song of the year nomination. Speaking of Song of the Year...I find it odd the nominations weren't announced at the same time. Maybe it's something new they're trying making it the big award of the night. And lastly, how did "Hangover Tonight" land a vocal event nomination? While I'm happy Gary and Chris got a nomination, this isn't really a duet IMO. "Diamond Rings and Old Barstools" should've been nominated here.

Hopefully Carrie wins at the Grammys...again...so she can hold the more important award over the heads of those who snubbed her...again...
At this point, Carrie could perform at the Super Bowl, crossover to pop with the rest of her singles, hit #1 there, score 3 top 10 hot 100 hits, sell more albums than Adele, and win the Iowa caucus, and she still would go home empty handed/receive no nomination for EOTY at the CMAs (aka the Cue Miranda's Awards).

Wow the shameless Block Voting is most evident with Sam Hunt not even getting a Best New Male Artist nomination, even though he is GRAMMY nominated BNA!! I don't believe for a second that Chase Rice would get more votes than Sam Hunt from the voters unless there's some serious block voting by WME (Rhett/Eldredge/Stapleton) to keep their biggest threat from rival CAA (Hunt) off the nomination list!
Sam and Carrie need to fire their CAA rep! I never realize how weak CAA is until I started reading from Carrie stans about how horrible CAA is. If you can't beat them, I think they should just join them over on WME and get all the awards. Thank goodness we get to watch Sam & Carrie shine at the Grammys!

I mean, I understand the consistent frustration RE: Underwood's exclusions from these shows, but I don't think this year's ACMs are ones where we should be overtly scoffing in her favor. She didn't tour at all during the period (minus a festival date here and there during the summer), and she released Storyteller in the last month of the eligibility period. It's understandable as to why she didn't touch the EOTY category, and it's understandable as to why she didn't see any nominations in Single or Video (and likely Song, too, whenever it's finally announced). If anything, she deserved an Album of the Year nod, especially over the likes of I'm Comin' Over and Tangled Up. Rhett's album has seen more commercial success than Underwood's, though, and that's because of his two massive singles compared to her tamer-sized ones. I can't say that releasing so close to the end of the eligibility period is what did her in, because Church surprise-released his the week after and got nom'd despite lesser commercial success (it's sold a little more than half of what Storyteller's sold -- 290k to 500k) and no hit single. At the end of the day, it's WME vs. CAA, and for the past 6 or 7 years now, it hasn't even been a moderately close competition between the two; WME consistently sweeps. So again, I don't think this year is the year that Underwood fans should be up in arms over any "snubs" because, minus AOTY, there really wasn't anything else for her to get plausibly nominated for. Now, next year, if she doesn't get an EOTY nod, then an uproar is completely valid. Aka, expect an uproar next year, lol.

Now, next year, if she doesn't get an EOTY nod, then an uproar is completely valid. Aka, expect an uproar next year, lol. I honestly only expected Female Vocalist; I don't think Carrie was snubbed, per say. However, my issue is honestly with Miranda Lambert's multiple nominations. I rather there be five men nominated for Entertainer of the Year than see Miranda there because it's a blatant slap in the face to Carrie --- who, considering everything, should be the "token female" in the category. So really, neither Carrie or Miranda should be nominated for Entertainer of the Year. But since it seems there needs to be a token female, it's increasingly aggravating that it's always Miranda. There have been years where Miranda was far and away the leading female in country music and totally deserved her nominations, but 2015 really wasn't one of them. Then there's Female Vocalist of the Year, which will go to Miranda considering she received enough votes to be an Entertainer of the Year nominee. However, she once again isn't the most deserving. The CMAs were close, but with the ACMs a decent case can be made for all of the nominees; not just two or three. So to know Miranda will walk away with the award when there are multiple equally/more deserving nominees is just incredibly disheartening. It's between Miranda and Carrie, and I think I'd honestly cry if they called Carrie's name... but it just won't happen. Maybe a Storyteller single smashes and things change next year?... lol.

Here's my thoughts.....
Entertainer: Who I Want: Garth Brooks OR Eric Church Who Will Win: Luke Bryan
Easier to predict than vocal duo this time around!
Female Vocalist: WIW: Carrie Underwood OR Miranda Lambert WWW: Miranda Lamber
Easier to predict than Entertainer!
Male Vocalist Of The Year: WIW: Chris Stapleton WWW: Chris Stapleton
Easier to predict than Female Vocalist!
Album: WIW: Traveller OR Mr. Misunderstood WWW: Traveller
Is the one that's fan voted? I forget. We only have 472637 of these damn things. Anyway, if it's fan voted then maybe Eric, but otherwise this is Chris's. LOL at Chris Young. "Montevallo" isn't even in the eligibility period (nor is it country, ZING!) so yeah.....
Vocal Group: WIW: Little Big Town WWW: Little Big Town
The only nominees in this field that haven't released a song that has legitimately pissed me off.
Vocal Duo: WIW: Joey + Rory WWW: Joey + Rory
I hate the circumstances that led to J+R nomination, but at least they finally got awarded for something..... It may be a sympathy vote, but at least it could potentially go to them and be awarded to a better duo (opinion, don't pounce on me FGL fans...)
I still haven't checked out their discography and at this point, I have nobody to blame but myself :(
New Male Vocalist: WIW: Chris Stapleton WWW: Chris Stapleton
This new "new artist" rule is so dumb..... Just give it to Stapleton
Oh yeah, LMFAO at Chase Rice
I'm done
Female Vocalist WIW: Cam WWW: Kelsea Ballerini
4 nominees? Seriously?!? Oh well... With these stupid breaking of the eligibility rules could we at least get Reba to fill the slot just for the hell of it?
Vocal Group or Duo: WIW: Maddie and Tae WWW: Old Dominion
Whatever, let Old Dominion have their 15 minutes of fame.
Single: WIW: Burning House WWW: Die A Happy Man
I may enjoy DAHM as a guilty pleasure, but still, I don't want an Ed Sheeran ripoff winning a country music award.
Song: WIW: TBA WWW: TBA
TBA has got this in the bag and if you disagree, you're wrong AND stupid!!!
Video: WIW: Mr. Misunderstood OR Riser WWW: Girl Crush
I don't do videos but hey...

What I want vs. what I expect:
Entertainer: Want anybody but Miranda, expect Luke Female Vocalist: Want Carrie, expect Miranda Male Vocalist: Want Chris, expect Chris Album: Want anybody but Thomas, expect Sam or Chris S. Vocal Group: Want LBT, expect LBT Vocal Duo: Want M&T or J+R, expect J+R or FGL New Female Vocalist: Want Cam, expect Cam or Kelsea New Male Vocalist: Want Chris S. or Brett, expect Chris S. or Thomas New Vocal Duo or Group: Want M&T, expect M&T or BrOs? You could honestly tell me that A Thousand Horses, Brothers Osborne, and Old Dominion are all the same group and I'd believe you. But I think I remember liking BrOs more. Single: Want anything but Die A Happy Man, expect anything except I'm Comin' Over Song: TBA Video: Don't Care - Riser was touching though. Musical Event: Don't Care - expect ML/LBT to double their industry vote bloc powers here for a severely underperforming song.

It would be absolutely incredible if they did something to honor Joey regardless if they win or not.
Also, I really want a Chris Young/Cassadee Pope duet performance. ACMs MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

Luke's fandom is throwing a huge hissy fit because EOTY isn't fan voted. I'll post my opinions later, but I'd certainly rather not see the faux "anti-FGL" girls win duo. wow you just have judge two talented ladies with actual substance in their music who try to stand for women who don't like to be treated wrong. Yet you think it's ok to demean women all the time? Wow :( just wow at least Maddie and Tae actually are trying to change country music for the better!
