Associated PressNASHVILLE, Tenn. — Grammy-winning duo Dan + Shay lead the 2020 Academy of Country Music Awards with six nominations for Dan Smyers and five for Shay Mooney and helped pop star Justin Bieber earn his first-ever ACM noms. In the nominations announced Thursday, the powerhouse duo share four bids with Bieber for song of the year as both writers and artists, music event of the year and video of the year for their chart-topping crossover duet “10,000 Hours.” Dan + Shay are also nominated for duo of the year and Smyers is nominated individually as the producer in the music event category. Three out of the five members of Old Dominion — Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen and Brad Tursi — matched Smyers with six nominations since they co-wrote their hit song, “One Man Band.” The band, as a whole, earned five nominations including song of the year, group of the year and video of the year. Each member is nominated twice for single of the year as artists and producers of “One Man Band.” Others earning five nominations include Thomas Rhett, producer Dan Huff and Grammy winner Maren Morris. Noticeably absent from the nominations was country legend Tanya Tucker, who earned her first two Grammy Awards last month for best country album and best country song after a remarkable comeback year.
