It's hard to believe that not 1 TV channel offered to carry the ACMs. If one of the "big 4" didn't offer then there are many other routes...the CW, TBS, or here's a thought, CMT! The production company wanted $22 million to air it. If CBS couldn’t/wouldn’t make that work, a smaller network certainly wasn’t going to. I think the show will pull a pretty minuscule audience on a streaming platform, but it’s probably the best they can do at this point if they aren’t wiling to significantly reduce the licensing fee.

Any predictions y’all?! I think there are about the usual ten contenders for EOTY: Jason Aldean Garth Brooks Luke Bryan Eric Church Luke Combs Miranda Lambert Thomas Rhett Chris Stapleton Carrie Underwood Keith Urban
The final five has to come from this list right? I could see a case being made for any and all of them. Any other artist being in that category would be somewhat shocking to me.

Next year I could definitely see him being in the running, if not the favorite.

I think Old Dominion is a very strong contender for an EOTY nomination this year. Wouldn't be surprised if they get in since the ACM's seem to like them a lot.

What is with the ongoing Kelsea snubs?! Is it because she is on a smaller label?

If she was on a label that had more pull she wouldn’t have had an issue getting nominated. It would’ve been nice if they would’ve graduated Miranda from the female category and just primarily had her in entertainer of the year like they did Carrie and put Kelsea in her place.

Very surprised "Chasing After You" got 0 nominations. I was at least expecting a Musical Event nomination...

Musical event was a pretty strong category this year. Usually it’s not but all 5 of those songs are deserving imo. A shame Drunk and CYA couldn’t sneak in there too. Hope Carly can pull out the win in album, I think the only other competition would be Morgan (who I didn’t see getting nominated.)

Can they just combine Group and Duo at this point? There aren't enough relevant duos and groups to fill out either category imo.

Surprised to see him in Male so early. Still figures to be a battle between Luke & Chris - Buy Dirt with a LOT of love. Like that song and Jordan so good to see - Album is a mess in my opinion (really, Chris Young?), I've got to think Carly has to be the favorite with no Stapleton or Eric included. - Kelsea is SO underrated. She should be in female without a doubt. - Fancy Like in Song, really?

I actually like all five artists nominated for EOTY. Still going to beat the horse and say Carrie deserves it. Again.
Did Kacey's team submit at all?
With all the duets in the musical event (duh), video, and single categories, you've got to think label politics will have some impact.
Which pairs have the strongest prospects based on their labels and competition?

Kelsea Ballerini has one of her best years and arguably deserves to win female vocalist and she doesn’t even get nominated? She got nominated more in her first few years than recently, I don’t get it. She can’t be the only one on a smaller label.

She got nominated more in her first few years than recently, I don’t get it. She can’t be the only one on a smaller label. Her label is pretty small. She is her labels main artist. She got more nominations when she first started out because there wasn’t a lot of competition since females weren’t seeing a lot of success in country, since then that has changed. If she was on one of the big three (UMG, Sony, or WMN) then she would’ve most likely been nominated. Even if she was on Big Machine she would’ve been nominated since they have gotten more of a pull over the past few years. I say all that to say it’s purely a politics game at this point. It’s not about what she accomplished, it’s about who you know and who you’re signed to.

She got nominated more in her first few years than recently, I don’t get it. She can’t be the only one on a smaller label. I agree - she deserves it, but who is she going to replace. Sony got their two - Maren & Miranda, but they are both shoo-in's Big Machine is bigger, and Carly wasn't going to miss out. WMN is just way bigger than Black River. Probably would argue Gabby and Ashley are the 'fourth and fifth' nominees in this category (I don't see either of them winning) - and WMN has way more firepower and access to votes than Black River does. It's just part of the country music award politics. If it makes you feel better, I don't think she was winning this year regardless of what label she is on. This award is either going home with Carly or Miranda.

ACM's is cracking a door open for him. We all saw what the Opry got when they let him on the stage - the ACM's are not going to let that happen. I think Carly is the odds on favorite without a doubt. She's the best combo of critical and commercial success. I think her biggest competition is her labelmate, Thomas Rhett, and I would think BMLG would push Carly over him.

It’s definitely a politics game at this point. And honestly viewership is so far down the toilet I don’t see country awards being relevant for more than 5 more years. I still scratch my head when two women make it to entertainer but neither win female. Kinda diminishes the vocalist awards for me. Same with the male side, Eric in entertainer but not male?? But like he’s still better than half the male nominees it’s honestly LOL. Same with Carrie.

I wouldn’t be stunned if Morgan Wallen wins. In my opinion Wallen, Pearce had the best albums out of the five. My least favorite album nominee is “Mafia Tapes” that album was snoozy and boring. I would’ve nominated “What A Song Can Do” by Lady A.

“Fancy like” even being considered in song is a huge head scratcher to me. Far better songs and really really surprised no Luke Combs song is nominated.

I would’ve nominated “What A Song Can Do” by Lady A. If Morgan has enough people behind him I wouldn’t doubt it either, but I’d still give Carly the edge because she’s having her moment. And The Marfa Tapes is definitely not for the pop country audience, but Miranda is on her 16th consecutive female nomination and is managing to do things she’s never done before so there’s that.

Yeah I don't see the ACM Awards awarding Morgan Wallen anything, the Opry had enough controversy when they had Morgan Wallen perform last month and I can't see the ACMs rewarding him since that is a load of controversy waiting to happen as whether you love or hate him he is a very controversial figure and it wouldn't be worth the controversy for him to win. I still find it eye roll inducing he is nominated in the first place since I don't find him to be that great despite the popularity and the n word incident on top of it.
Here's too Carly Pearce having a big night hopefully across the board as it really feels like the industry is completely behind her and ready to elevate her to superstar status.
