So the Academy of Country Music Awards are this Monday night, and you can watch the show on Amazon Prime.  Yes, I know that we wish it was on network television.  Dolly Parton will be hosting, along with co-hosts Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett.  A few awards have already been handed out.

New Male Artist of the Year - Parker McCollum     He got the call from Miranda Lambert with the good news and you can see that HERE.

New Female Artist of the Year - Lainey Wilson     She also got the good news from Miranda and you can see her reactions HERE.

So what categories are left.  Play along with me, and we can see who walks away with the awards:  I have put an asterisk next to who I think will win.
