2024 ACM Awards winners list: Who took home Academy of Country Music Awards?

The 59th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards were handed out on Thursday night, May 16, during a ceremony that streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch Live. The show, hosted by Reba McEntire, took place at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. See the complete list below.

Luke Combs came into these awards with the most nominations (eight), including Entertainer of the Year. Morgan Wallen followed with six nominations, tied with newcomer Megan Moroney, who was the most nominated female artist. Wallen actually tied with Combs for the most category nominations: in a couple of races Combs was doubly nominated as an artist and producer. Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson were next in line with five bids apiece. Jelly Roll and Jordan Davis had four.
