Academy of Country Music

Award shows are usually quite predictable and while the 45th ACM Award show was mostly predictible, there were a few moments where it wasn't so predictible and Miranda Lambert was part of two of those wins while the Best New Artist had a surpising outcome as well.

The 45th Academy of Country Music Awards show broadcasts from Las Vegas this Sunday at 8e/7c on CBS TV.  Here is our rundown of predictions for the show.  We give you who we think will win and who we want to win the awards this year.

It looks as if 2010 will be the Year of Lady Antebellum as the trio not only has the year's best-selling album so far but they've also now earned top-dog status with 7 ACM Award Nominations, leading the pack but closely followed by Zac, Carrie and Miranda with 6 each. 

With Reba once again hosting the ACM Awards on Sunday, Roughstock has compiled the list of nominees for each category and we have come up with some predictions on who we think will win the awards this year, including the fan voted Entertainer and New Artist categories.

The ACM Award Nominees were announced today with Brad Paisley taking home the most nominations with six. He was closely followed by Heidi Newfield who had five nominees. Jamey Johnson followed them with four nominations of his own.
