2014 ACM Awards: Live stream the red-carpet pre-show now!
Are you excited for the start of the ACM Awards? Well, we’ve got some of the first information now about how you can prepare to watch the build-up to them straight from your computer.
The pre-show below starts off an hour and a half prior to the awards show itself at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, and you can expect to see a chorus of country music’s biggest stars all in attendance to celebrate the achievements in their genre over the course of the past year. While there are a billion country-music awards shows that are out there, we typically think of this as being right up there with the Grammys. We follow that up with the CMA Awards, the America Country Awards, the CMT Awards, and then all of the other shows that randomly decide to throw country music in there. The Entertainer of the Year prize is one of the most-coveted in all of music, and there are many candidates this year.
The awards show itself will be hosted by two guys in Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan who have shown time and time again to have an affinity for partying. Therefore, we expect plenty of funny jokes and silly bits featuring the two. (Is it weird to anyone else that we will always remember Luke first and foremost for his appearance on “The Celebrity Apprentice”?)
Be sure to remember that most outlets offering a genuine “live stream” for the show are either promoting this very stream below (not entirely accurate), or are directing you to a pirate site (not entirely ethical on their part / obvious click-baiting).
