On Sunday night (April 15), the Academy of Country Music will crown its 2018 ACM Awards winners. This year's show is the 53rd annual ACM Awards ceremony, and there are nearly a dozen trophies to be handed out. So, who's going to take them home?

In recent weeks, The Boot has invited its readers to make their predictions for this year's ACM Awards winners, via a series of polls. Our staff, too, has been thinking about who might walk away a winner on Sunday night. Below are our staff's predictions and our readers' predictions; during the ceremony, we'll keep this list updated as winners are announced, so you can see how well everyone guessed.

The 2018 ACM Awards will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and will air at 8PM EST on CBS. Reba McEntire will host the event.

The Boot will be staying up late covering the most buzzed-about winners, fashion and moments at the 2018 ACM Award Ceremony. Readers can watch along with us by checking back to TheBoot.com for the latest ACMs headlines, liking The Boot on Facebook and following The Boot on Twitter
