Obviously it's super early to make this thread, but with today's announcement of the category adjustments, I figured it'd be worth it. Plus, the eligibility period closes at the end of the calendar year, so we can use this thread to log some front-runners and predictions.

Very strange that they took out Song of the Year. That was always a great way to reward songwriters? Will they now be awarded for Single of the Year, along with artist and producer?

I think the news article on All Access left out some of the information that was in the original press release. The actual press release can be found here on ACM's website and further down provides a list of the main awards and next to Song of the Year it states there has been no change to this category.

Oooh, thank you! I was going to be completely beside myself if they did truly in fact remove Song of the Year like the AA article had portrayed it. Phew.

Aldean’s team has had his FYC ads plastered all over HITS lately.

when are they gonna be announced? I can't find a date for the nominations even on their website. Last year, it was the 1st week of March. They are still in 2nd round of voting. I assume the nominations will be around the same time as last year.

I’m going to make an extremely bold predication and say Kacey Musgraves will be nominated for Entertainer of the Year. I don’t believe she’ll take the category (Album of the Year will be a different story), but I think she’ll receive a nod. I think her contributions to and recognition from the mainstream industry will be too much to ignore (even if radio allows “Rainbow” to underperform).

There’s certainly a chance that, if nominated, she could walk away with the title and rightfully so. The ACMs have appeared historically to be a bit more liberal in how they distribute awards than the CMAs (see: Carrie Underwood’s wins at EofY at the ACMs versus losses in the same category at the CMAs), and if they’d like to give credit where it’s due, that’s certainly the approach to take. Personally, I just want to see names other than Keith Urban/Blake Shelton/Luke Bryan, etc in the running. It’s stale af this point.

While yes the men's vocalist award is maybe a bit more liberal than the CMA's, in that the same two men hasn't won every year for the past decade, the same person has won the last several for EOTY. And the female vocalist award has turned into more of a parody than even the CMA's (and before people flip out on me, Miranda deserved to win several of those, she just doesn't deserve to have won ALL of those, which is the parody part), with the same person having won 9 in a row.

Yeah, if there’s justification for criticizing an awards show for monotony, I’d certainly pick ACMs giving Miranda too many awards over the male categories which actually have turned over twice? While the female is stagnant and boring. But, maybe they’ll actually give the female award to someone worthy this year, like Maren or Kacey. 🤷♀️

Cry Pretty has been very widely overlooked.
