Maren Morris and Thomas Rhett are the main candidates at this year’s ceremony. Among the artists nominated for the coveted Artist of the Year award are Rhett, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs and Carrie Underwood. The two special hours include “intimate conversations and acoustic performances with the best artists in the country at home”, as well as excerpts from the 55-year history of the MCL Awards. On April 5, viewers were scheduled to broadcast the annual Country Music Academy Awards, better known as ACM, live from Las Vegas by CBS. MCL Artist of the Year was recently chosen to host this year’s ceremony, having already broadcast his solo concert during car quarantine. The station says the participating artists will be announced in the coming weeks, but they can probably expect to see Keith Urban. Instead, CBS will broadcast the new two-hour special “ACM Presents”: “Nuestro País” at 8 p.m. (Eastern time). Fans across the country should definitely make an appointment before April 5. As of this week, this event has been postponed until September due to the coronavirus pandemic.
