One week before the Country Music Association Awards are set to take place in Nashville, the Academy of Country Music announced the submissions and ballot timeline for the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, which are set to take place on May 8, 2025.
The ACM Awards will stream exclusively on Prime Video for the fourth straight year. They will be held at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, for a third straight year and be hosted by Reba McEntire for a second straight year.
This will be the 18th time McEntire has hosted or co-hosted the ACM Awards. She first co-hosted the show in 1986 with John Schneider and the late Mac Davis . McEntire is fast closing in on Bob Hope ’s record as the most frequent host of any major awards show. Hope hosted or co-hosted the Oscars 19 times between 1940 and 1978.
The ACM Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions. The awards are voted on by ACM members. The window to become a member or renew membership, which opened on Oct. 1, closes Friday, Nov. 15 at 10 a.m. CT. Prospective voters can submit an application for ACM membership online at www.acmcountry.com/membership.
