ACM Awards Nominees 2013

Eric Church leads the 2013 ACM Awards nominees with seven nods, including Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year, for his platinum-selling, critically-acclaimed Chief. Hunter Hayes is just behind with six nominations, followed by Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift with five apiece.

Up for the night's biggest honor, Entertainer of the Year, are Miranda, Taylor, Jason Aldean, and both of the show's co-hosts, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan. Both the Entertainer and New Artist of the Year categories will be decided by you: the fans. Engaged couple Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer are up for the latter honor, along with Florida Georgia Line. Fan voting begins March 25 at VoteACM.com.
