Surprised for the lack of love for Jon Pardi... only one (very deserving) nomination for "Album of the Year" seems kinda strange considering what a great year he's had

New Female. Please Lauren Alaina win.
New Male. Brett Young will win or Luke Combs. Funny thing for me is I prefer the other 3 nominees by far.
New Duo or Group. LANco or Midland will probably win that. In a perfect world Runaway June wins going away. Unfortunately that will nevef happen.
Album. Chris Stapleton or bust. The rest of thd albums don't come close at all. LBT was underwhelming, Old Dominion was uneven, Thomas Rhett was meh. Jon Pardi was still too cookie cutter for me.
Single: #TeamStapleton I really hope Chris Stapleton wins. His song is just amazing.
Video: Black and Legends had underwhelming and boring videos. Won't matter Brothers Osborne will probably win that.
Vocal Event. Either What Ifs, Dear Hate, or Funny. Love all 3 of those a lot where as Craving You was eh and The Fighter was awful.
Overall besides Song. A solid set of nominees.

The only saving grace for the A.C.M.s is Reba McEntire hosting them. This list of nominees is a joke.

Won't matter Brothers Osborne will probably win that. #EyeRoll #WeAlreadyKnowYouHateHer I hate the song not her as a person like you seem to imply. I think she's a nice person, very nice. So don't even try to make it sound like I personally hate her.

Silently happy Blake was able to sneak a nom Sidenote: what do Brett & Luke Combs have to do to get a nom besides best new whatever. I would have assumed after the successful year they both had they would be shoo-ins.

Considering a song that was never a single, and from an album from 2015 from an artist who has released two more albums since then, got a song of the year nomination...it seems like a free for all type of panel voting.

Just for sentimental reasons, I would have put Montgomery Gentry in the Duo category.

They can put "Better Man" and "Drinking Problem" in Single but not Song where there's only 4 nominees and 1 is an old as* album track? WTF?
I am so over the country music industry.

These are some crazy nominations. I can't believe Eric Church is completely left out after the incredible touring year he had. Only 4 song of the year noms? WTH?

Yeah I don't get the ACM. I love "Whiskey and You," but why is a three year old song nominated when Stapleton released multiple singles last year that could have been here? It should have been "Either Way." The rest doesn't actually surprise me though. ACM loves Aldean and Blake, as the rest of the industry is over them. Eric Church has grown accustomed to snubs at these shows, so this is nothing. Dude sells plenty of albums and shows. TL;DR: The ACM Awards remain skippable and absolutely worthless. Just like country radio in the year 2018

I cannot believe an album track was nominated for Song of the Year, let alone one on an album released three years ago. Has this EVER happened?
These nominations are total crap. Love seeing Maren in twice for Vocal Event, but otherwise there is nothing making me tune in.

Lol @ those Song of the Year noms. I can only hope and pray that "Tin Man" takes that and the other three she's up against were thrown in there as sabotage so Miranda would be a shoo-in because she's literally the *only* correct choice there. They did an adequate job with Single of the Year, so not sure how they managed to fuck up the other category. My only guess is that there was some big tie for 5th place and instead of having like 6+ nominees, they settled for less... but that still doesn't explain how Stapleton got an album track from forever ago in or how "Female" was nominated despite being a mediocre effort.
Very excited about Reba returning to host though! Also love that "Dear Hate" was given a nod in Vocal Event and seeing Tim/Faith in Vocal Duo is nice to see. I would also love for this to be the year that either Maren or Kelsea take the Female Vocalist crown. I imagine Maren has the edge over Kelsea there in the critical acclaim department, but "Legends" surprisingly managed to get in for Music Video, so maybe her day could be coming, too. Love Miranda and would obviously not object to a win for her since she's been touring all year and the incredible and critically acclaimed "Tin Man" charted during the eligibility period, but I'd enjoy seeing the baton get passed to one of the new girls!

I love California Sunrise but really?? What year is it? Does Eric Church even exist? The Jon Pardi album was released in June 2016, but according to ACM criteria, an older album can still be eligible "If the album was released during the two (2) prior eligibility periods, but achieved its largest annual sales during the eligibility period according to Nielsen SoundScan, it is eligible unless it has appeared on a final ACM ballot in this category." So California Sunrise was indeed eligible because the 2017 eligibility period is when it saw its largest annual sales. I agree with you that no nominations for Eric Church is somewhat puzzling, especially considering he seems to pick up quite a few nominations at the award shows each year (even though he doesn't win very often). Then again, Eric's only eligible single was "Round Here Buzz" which wasn't all that big of a hit. "Kill A Word" was nominated for Song of the Year at last year's ACMs (making it ineligible this year), and the Mr. Misunderstood album is far too old to be nominated in the Album category. He would have certainly made sense in the Male Vocalist or Entertainer categories but those are always so competitive and so most years we see a few big names get left out of each. I guess this year was the year Eric got left out of those two categories. The one nomination I'm really struggling with (that's been discussed at length already) is the Chris Stapleton "Whiskey and You" nomination for Song of the Year. Surely that has to be a mistake, and they meant a different Stapleton track? This is the ACM voting criteria for Song of the Year: So not only should there be 5 songs nominated in the category, but "Whiskey and You" isn't eligible according to the bolded paragraph. It peaked at #35 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart on November 28, 2015. The eligibility period is from November 24, 2016 to December 31, 2017. So unless the panel of voters got confused and thought "Whiskey and You" peaked on the Hot Country Songs chart on November 28, 2016 -- not 2015 -- then it shouldn't be eligible. That's a real stumper, because the song peaked a full year before the beginning of the eligibility period. Also, there were 6 nominees in the Song of the Year category last year, but this year only 4...maybe they decided it should average out to be 5 every year? I guess I'm not really surprised by any of the other nominations...some successful artists got left out, but that's always the case. I do think Song of the Year should have 5 nominees though; I'm fine with the songwriters choosing "Body Like A Back Road", "Female", and "Tin Man", but there should be a different Stapleton song in there in place of "Whiskey and You", and then there should be a 5th nominee as well. I'm also disappointed that the New Female Vocalist category only has 4 nominees, especially given that Lindsay Ell had a #1 country album (that also received a decent amount of praise, especially from Billboard) and has a song currently in the top 30. But maybe the voters didn't think "Criminal" was high enough on the chart at the end of December (when it was at #41 on Mediabase). I suppose that's a possible explanation, but still, the decent success of her album should've scored her a nomination there.
