The Academy of Country Music Awards nominations for 2023 are led by two of the newer artists in the genre who have crossed the threshold into becoming stars, Hardy, who has seven nods, and Lainey W…
Of the nominations they picked up, Hardy and Wilson share a nod in three categories, as the duet they recorded, the domestic violence-themed “Wait in the Truck,” is in the running for song of the year, visual media of the year and event of the year.
As is often the case at the two most longstanding country awards shows, the ACMs and the CMAs, the top nominees claimed that honor despite the fact that neither of them got picked to contend for the top prize, entertainer of the year. That trophy is usually reserved for artists with more years under their belt buckle.
The Academy noted in a press release that women are accounted for as nominees in all the major categories — a point of constant interest, given the vast underrepresentation of woman on the country radio charts year after year. The org also pointed out that women actually dominate the album of the year category, with much-celebrated albums by Wilson, Lambert and Ashley McBryde being up against releases by Combs and Jon Pardi.
