2015 ACM Awards Winners

The Academy began rolling out 2015 ACM Awards winners before the big 50th anniversary celebration even began, with Florida Georgia Line and Dierks Bentley pocketing early prizes. Bentley's Video of the Year award is especially surprising (but not undeserved), as he was battling great vids like Glen Campbell's final video in the category.

Country Music's Biggest Party — live for the first time in Arlington, Texas' AT&T Stadium — is the ACM's most massive yet. Not only is it airing live from the home of the Dallas Cowboys, but it's longer than normal, coming in at a whopping 3.5 hours.

Also awarded before the show was Florida Georgia Line's win for Vocal Event of the Year. Their "This Is How We Roll" collaboration with Luke Bryan started what could be a big night for the duo. It ended up being a very big night for Bryan as well, but Miranda Lambert won the most ACM Awards, taking home three trophies.
