2012 ACM Award for Entertainer of the Year – Brad Paisley

It's surprising that 'Remind Me' wasn't nominated for Song or Single of the Year at the 2012 ACM Awards, but this could speak to a larger issue for Brad Paisley. If his best song from the last year isn't being considered, how much will he be considered for Entertainer of the Year?

He will win if: Voters aren't quite ready to crown the younger generation of country men. Paisley should have won at least won of these awards, and he'll win if there is a collective sentiment to fill the gap on his mantle. Last year was a great year for Paisley, as it included two chart-topping songs, a gold record and another sell-out tour.
