ACM Awards 2016 : The Complete Winners List
Chris Stapleton dominates, winning in four out of five of his categories
Once again, Chris Stapleton is country music’s top dog. The genre’s biggest Cinderella story in ages walked away with four trophies at the 51st annual Academy of Country Music Awards — double the hardware of anyone else. The ACM wins follow the “Fire Away” singer-songwriter extraordinaire’s three CMA and two Grammy trophies.
Miranda Lambert is one of the double victors, taking home Female Vocalist (for the seventh consecutive year) and Vocal Event of the Year, for her “Smokin’ and Drinkin'” collaboration with Vocal Group of the Year winners, Little Big Town. And Jason Aldean stakes claim to the night’s top honor, Entertainer of the Year.
