Are you ready for another award show? If not, you have two days to get ready. The 2016 American Country Countdown Awards will be on television on Sunday, May 1, live from the forum in Los Angeles, Calif. FOX will carry the program again this year. We’ve got your list of nominees, and we’ll get the winners posted as soon as the show ends.
Not a surprise that Luke Bryan is out in front with seven nominations. What did surprise me is that Sam Hunt is not that far behind with five nominations this year. Thomas Rhett and Zac Brown each received four nominations, and Florida Georgia Line received three. I’m still not sure I understand Florida Georgia Line dominating the Duo category at so many country music awards shows. But, obviously they have a lot of fans. The duo is even nominated fo rArtist of the Year at this event.
