It's that time of year again, the ACM Awards are going to be here before you know it. The nominations for the 60th annual edition of the awards are out and there some new names, some familiar names, and one very notable snub. First time ACM Award nominee Ella Langley leads with eight nominations overall, with Cody Johnson and Morgan Wallen tying for the most male artist nominations with seven. The notable snub? The GRAMMY winner for "Best Country Album," Beyoncé, received zero nods. Hosted by Reba McEntire, the 60th ACM Awards will stream live on Prime Video on Thursday, May 8th at 8pm ET/5pm PT from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
