It was a little over 3 hours of jam-packed country from start to finish with music stars mixed in from other genres including musical icon Stevie Wonder. I think Blake Shelton and Luke Byran did a respectable job and kept the show lively and fun.

That's because Blake's co-host Reba McEntire won't be at his side after hosting the ACM's for 14 years. Reba has decided to step down and let someone else have there turn in the spotlight.

And yet, here I am stunned that RASCAL FLATTS got zero ACM nominations.
