The ACM Awards are back for 2022, and this year marks the start of a whole new era. Now in its 57th year, the long-running primetime spectacle dubbed “Country Music’s Party of the Year” has been totally revamped.
Moving over to Prime Video, the ACM’s are now the first major country awards show in history to air exclusively as a live stream. Packed with more than 20 performances, the event has also taken over Las Vegas’ massive new Allegiant Stadium for the first time. And with the legendary Dolly Parton co-hosting alongside fresh faces Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett, the whole thing will run commercial free in two hours flat, starting at 8 pm ET tonight (March 7).
Still, one thing will never change, and that’s the drama and intrigue of who wins … and who doesn’t. Check out the full list of winners below, which will be updated as the night goes on. You can find the rest of Sounds Like Nashville’s 57th annual ACM Awards coverage here.
