The ACM nominations were announced yesterday, and Chris Young scored big, picking up seven nods. He's never won an ACM award, so unless something freezes over, he's finally in. (He celebrated the news on Instagram.)
Similarly, Walker Hayes picked up his first-ever ACM nominations. He's up for five awards, and so is Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton. And the Morgan Wallen freeze is officially over. He got four nominations, include Best Album for "Dangerous".
There's a 40% chance for a female Entertainer of the Year. Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood are up against Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, and Luke Combs.
Who got snubbed? Billboard says Mickey Guyton, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, and Blake Shelton. The Boot would like to add Cody Johnson to that list.
(The ACMs are March 7th on Amazon Prime. Dolly Parton, Jimmie Allen, and Gabby Barrett are the hosts. You can check out all the nominees, here.)
