I have to say that I am very pleased with the Nominations for this years ACM awards… I am glad to see new comers like The JaneDear Girls getting a nomination… As well as seeing that Miranda Lambert has 7 Nominations (will her hot streak continue?!?)… And I’m VERY VERY excited that Colt Ford and Lee Brice (two of my FAVORITES) have been nominated for awards also.
Personally, this years ACM awards is going to be a MUST WATCH with Black Shelton co-hosting with the lovely Reba McEntire… Remember you can vote for your favorite artist to become Entertainer of the Year starting March 11, 2011
So tell me HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NOMINATIONS?!?
Ps. Am I the only person who thinks it’s a little odd that Brooks & Dunn aren’t in the Vocal Duo category anymore?!?
