Who are the nominees for the 2024 ACM Awards?
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 being honored with the coveted Triple Crown Award, which consists of an Entertainer of the Year win plus wins in an act's respective New Artist (Male, Female, Duo, or Group) and Artist (Male, Female, Duo or Group) categories. Other artists who've achieved this feat include Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood.
Combs leads 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 alongside Riley Green for their song "Different 'Round Here."
Megan Moroney garnered the most ACM nods for a female artist with six nominations, including Female Artist of the Year and New Female Artist of the Year. Moroney's nominations include being highlighted for Song of the Year as artist and songwriter for "Tennessee Orange," Visual Media of the Year, and Music Event of the Year for "Can't Break Up Now" alongside Old Dominion.
Morgan Wallen, 2023's ACM Male Artist of the Year, has received six nominations and tied Luke Combs for receiving nods in the most categories, including Album of the Year and Single of the Year for Billboard's all-genre Hot 100 chart-topper "Last Night."
Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton and Wilson received five nominations each, followed by Jelly Roll and Jordan Davis with four nominations. Jelly Roll is a 2024 Entertainer of the Year nominee among his nominations.
