It’s that time of year once again…time for the ACM Awards!

This year’s ACM Awards were held on Thursday, May 11. The ceremony started streaming on Amazon Prime Video at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT.

Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton co-hosted the ceremony. This was Parton’s second consecutive year as a host of the ACM Awards…and Brooks’ first time as a host of any awards show…ever!

HARDY scored the most nominations this year, followed by Lainey Wilson. Last year’s Entertainer of the Year, Miranda Lambert, also earned several nominations.
