Academy of Country Music Awards
Die Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM Awards) gehören zu den wichtigsten Auszeichnungen im Bereich der US-amerikanischen Country-Musik. Sie sind der älteste der großen Musikpreise und wurden erstmals 1966 vergeben, zwei Jahre vor den ersten Country Music Association Awards. Die Verleihung findet üblicherweise jedes Jahr im April oder Mai statt.
Aufgeführt sind die wichtigsten Auszeichnungen für Musiker und musikalische Werke. Im Lauf der Jahre wurden die Kategorien immer wieder verändert und angepasst. 1984 kam eine Auszeichnung für Musikvideos hinzu. Daneben gibt es zahlreiche weitere Preise, bspw. für Instrumentalisten, Techniker, Rundfunkmoderatoren oder Sonderpreise für herausragende Leistungen über größere Zeiträume. Meist wurden diese aber nur zeitweise oder nur unregelmäßig vergeben.
