The show will open with a stunningly bad performance by a major star. Someone will try to blame it on 'sound issues.' (How is it that Martina McBride never has any of these? Oh, right... because she can sing, like, for real.) There will be a Strait quip within the first two minutes of Reba's opening monologue. Awards will be presented by actors from fledgling CBS shows, none of whom I'll recognize. One of said actors will wear a cowboy hat to bolster his country credibility. Jimmy … [Read more...]

ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR Kenny Chesney Toby Keith Brad Paisley George Strait Taylor Swift Carrie Underwood Keith Urban Zac Brown Band Reasoning: It's partially fan-voted. TOP MALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR Kenny Chesney Brad Paisley Darius Rucker George Strait Keith Urban Reasoning: Won it last year, has released a critically-lauded album and toured continuously since then.

Pointing out that most of the show sucked doesn't count as a response. Let's try to be constructive here. My first thought was to get rid of fan voting, but I'm honestly not sure that the results would have been much better if the voting had all been done by industry folks, so I … [Read more...]

2009 ACM Awards Nominees + Predictions

April 5, 2009 by 7 Comments

Here's the nominee list. It's available everywhere, but I post it here too so that those participating in the live blog can refer to it without happening upon any spoilers once the show is underway on the East Coast. I'll be going on lockdown at 5pm, not checking any of my blogging neighbors (or Twitter, etc.) until the show's over. Important: There has been some confusion as to the time of the show. Since CBS and the ACM list 8pm as the official start time, I'm assuming that that's when the … [Read more...]
