The big 2013 ACM Awards winners in Las Vegas were Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan.

April 7, 2013 The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards will air live on Sunday night (April 7) from Las Vegas. The annual awards show features a lineup that's a veritable Who's Who of contemporary country, but this year there's going to be one notable absence: Justin Moore.

If you thought you'd never hear Jewel perform her fan-favorite hit 'Hands' once she went country, you're in for a great surprise.

April 5, 2013 The 2013 ACM Awards are just days away, and while the country music industry is anxiously awaiting to see who wins the big awards, fans are looking forward to the performances, surprise collaborations and unexpected moments of brilliance.

April 4, 2013 Despite the accuracy (or lack of accuracy) of these predictions for the 2013 ACM Awards, one thing is certain: one group of country fans will be ecstatic come Monday morning, while another will be furious that their favorite wasn't recognized for his or her talent and achievements. Only one out of every group of five can take the trophy for Entertainer, Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist and the other top prizes. This means four more will be left politely applauding for someone the industry says had a little better year. Fans tend to not be as graceful in defeat.
