The full list of nominees will be released on ACMcountry.com immediately following the ETonline.com announcement. The 2018 ACM Awards will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 15, via CBS.
In 2017, mainstays like Jason Aldean (Entertainer of the Year) and Miranda Lambert (Album of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year) proved their lasting dominance in the industry, while then-newbies like Maren Morris (New Female Vocalist of the Year) and Brothers Osborne (Vocal Duo of the Year, New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year) made their mark on the changing industry.
McEntire was a longtime host of the ACM Awards before sharing the stage with and then passing the torch to Blake Shelton. A host or hosts for the 2018 show has not yet been announced. Dierks Bentley and Luke Bryan hosted together in 2017.
