Who are the nominees for the ACM Awards 2024?
Nominations for the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards highlight how Luke Combs or Lainey Wilson could soon find themselves in elite company. A 2024 win for Entertainer of the Year would lead to the coveted Triple Crown award, which consists of an Entertainer of the Year win plus wins in an act’s New Artist (Male, Female, Duo or Group) and Artist (Male, Female, Duo or Group), respectively. Other artists to have accomplished the feat include Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood.
Combs takes the top spot with eight nominations, including Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Music Event of the Year, along with Riley Green for their song “Different ‘Round Here.”
