Two past American Idol contestants have been nominated for awards by the Academy of Country Music. Carrie Underwood was nominated for five ACMs: Top Female Vocalist, Album of the Year for Some Hearts and Song of the Year, Single Record of the Year and Video of the Year for “Before He Cheats.” Last year she was named Top New Female Vocalist at the 2006 ACMs. Kellie Pickler hopes she’ll be the next American Idol alum to take home that award, after she was nominated for Top New Female Vocalist this year.
