V pondělí 18. Října byli vyhlášeny nominace na první ročník American Country Awards. V těchto nových cenách budou o vítězích, například jako v Americam Music Awards, rozhodovat sami fanoušci.
Do finálních nominacích se díky počtu hlasu nejvícekrát dostala skupina Lady Antebellum a překvapivě i nováček na country scéně Easton Corbin oba mají shodně po sedmi nominacích.
Fanoušci mohou hlasovat celkem v 16ti kategoriích a výsledky budou vyhlášeny 6. prosince.
