I watched for 3 hours just to maybe hear them mention Glen, but nothing took place. I presume the award was already given and not enough time, but overall it wasn't that bad. In the days when Glen and others appeared, they were really dressed, but today, they wear whatever....

I tuned in late...was there an announcement about the ACM honors awards tonight?

Loved Tim McGraw's live performance of "Humble and Kind" with him interacting with fans.

Dolly Parton with Katy Perry were awesome! Three songs, too!

According to a Las Vegas Sun news story written by Robin Leach, a salute is planned for the honorees on Sunday's ACM broadcast -- as well as a "televised" honors special in September.

Another off-camera award for Glen Campbell. Maybe it will be announced at the upcoming general awards event?
A LONG overdue recognition by ACM.

Of course, I am still thrilled for our Rhinestone Cowboy to receive the ACM Career Achievement Award "in recognition of artists who have advanced the popularity and acceptance of country music". How fitting! Glen Campbell was also one of the pioneers who helped found the ACM awards 53 years ago.

In fact, we discussed Glen's early involvement with starting ACM in this Glen Campbell Forums topic last year and also posted a photo of Glen at the first ACM event in 1963: http://www.glencampbellforums.com/viewt ... t=20#p3295" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Crystal Gayle, Tanya Tucker and the Statler Brothers have been named the recipients of the ACM Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award. Glen Campbell won the Pioneer Award in 1998.

Jimmy Webb is being honored with the "Poet's Award - Living". A long overdue honor for Jimmy!

All special award winners are listed here on the ACM website: https://www.acmcountry.com/special-awards" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
