Winners have been announced for the 57TH Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards. Hosted by Dolly Parton alongside co-hosts Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett, the two-hour concert event of the year live streamed globally on Prime Video last night from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The Academy’s highest honor, Entertainer of the Year, was awarded to Miranda Lambert for the first time. Lainey Wilson led the night in total wins with three, followed by Lambert and Carly Pearce with two wins apiece. This year’s 57th ACM Awards featured an all-star lineup of memorable performances and collaborations featuring 22 performances from 28 artists. And a huge shoutout and congratulations goes to Alexa and Stephen Kinigopoulos! They directed “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”, performed by Elle King and Miranda Lambert. It won video of the year. I have been friends with their fabulously talented (make-up artist/hair stylist) mother, Janice, for more years than I am going to admit.
You can relive all of the excitement of the ACM Awards now on Prime Video. On March 8 beginning at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST, you will be able to watch the entire 57th Academy of Country Music Awards ceremony on IMDb TV, Amazon’s premium free streaming service, as well as a special rebroadcast of performances.
