Monk's ACM Awards Predictions - How Well Did He Do

Sunday night's 50th annual ACM Awards was undoubtedly one of the most amazing night's of country music performances in years.

The milestone 50th annual brought out classic songs from voices like Martina McBride, Alan Jackson and a reunited Brooks & Dunn. Artists like Jason Aldean, Reba and Miranda Lambert went thru medleys of some of their biggest hits while new artists like Sam Hunt played abbreviated versions of their current tracks.

All in all, I think the 50th annual ACM Awards shined as one of their best yet.

As I do for each awards show, I made predictions of who I thought would take home the statues in each category and now is the time we see how good I am at picking winners.

Next to each artist/song that actually won I put "WINNER" and next to the artist/song I picked I put "MONK'S PICK."
