<h3>The 2012 ACM Awards Announcement Proceedings Planned and Ready To Go!</h3>
<p>Well, to announce the Grammy nominations they held an entire concert, but the <strong><a title="ACM Awards" href="https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/1224809/264167/4272?subId1=WPScmnbACM&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Facademy-of-country-music-awards-tickets%2Fartist%2F866377&partnerpropertyid=5213910&MediaPartnerPropertyId=5213910">ACM Awards</a></strong> are going to be keeping it a little more low key than that. Organizers have planned a digital press conference to take place via social media <strong>Thursday, January 26th</strong> starting at <strong>6:30am (PT)</strong>. All categories will be announced in real time to fans and the media at the same time (what a novel idea!). <strong><a title="Reba" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSReba/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Freba-mcentire-tickets%2F">Reba</a> McEntire</strong> (who is hosting the awards show alongside <strong><a title="Blake Shelton" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSBlakeS/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fblake-shelton-tickets%2F">Blake Shelton</a></strong>) will be participating in events leading up to the conference.
