ACM Awards Tonight!

Coverage throughout the Day SUNDAY (5/18/06)

Bucky Covington may or may not appear on your television today or this evening but tune in anyway to GAC for several potential opportunities to see him. Great American Country has a preview of the Academy of Country Music Awards with Storme Warren at 11:00 a.m. ET, At 4:00 p.m. ET a different two hour ACM special will air. The Orange Carpet (with our best guess of a Bucky sighting) will begin on GAC at 7:00 ET. CBS will air the actual ACM Award show at 8:00 ET and we can look through the audience shots to get a glimpse of all of our favorite country stars and celebs. For a list of nominees and other funs stuff, visit GAC.

Bucky may have been at some of yesterday's pre-show activities and there may be some clips from some of the free concerts, ACM's 5th Annual Charity Motorcycle Ride hosted by Montgomery Gentry or the Celebrity Golf Classic hosted by Rascal Flatts. All of these events were brimming with country artists. Last night, some of the nominees participated in Party for a Cause. Still no word on where Bucky Covington is this weekend but watch just in case! Check out CMT's Live Blog for even more info.

While you are enjoying the fun shot of Bucky kicking around the beach ball in Turlock last, brought to you from Minnie's lovely collection, remember to start working on your own photograph choice to include in your creative Buckytown Banner that will replace the “store-bought” guitar one as the header for this page. The CONTEST is underway now. Limit of three entries per person, and we will let an online poll decide the winner from the finalists. Deadline is June 6th at 9:00 p.m

More this afternoon!
