So much has changed for the 2022 ACM Awards, but the list of nominees looks very similar to years past. Nominations for the 2022 ACMs in Las Vegas were revealed on Thursday morning (Feb. 10).
Each category and the respective nominees was revealed in a tweet from the ACM Awards official account. Luke Bryan is the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year. He took home his third trophy in the category — but his first in six years — last year. Maren Morris, Carly Pearce and Lee Brice each took home two trophies last year.
The 2022 ACM Awards will not be televised on a broadcast network. For the first time ever, the show is streaming on Amazon Prime. The two-hour show promises no commercial breaks but a similar pattern of performances and awards. Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett will join Dolly Parton as hosts of the ACMs.
The 2022 ACM Awards will air on March 7 at 8PM ET from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.
Remember: The best way to watch the 2022 CMAs is on TV, with ToC on your phone!
