ACM WINNERS
(AND TIES)

Here are the big winners from Wednesday's impressive ACM Awards show. We gotta give it up to performers who brought it with energy and feeling despite having no audience to reflect that energy. They crushed it. Could this show's spirited, hits-driven approach be a template for other awards shows, including the Grammys, to emulate? Meanwhile, Mickey Guyton is a bona fide breakthrough artist, Luke Combs emerges as an Album of the Year contender and Maren Morris' "The Bones" busts out as a strong candidate for Song of the Year.
