Stapleton is also nominated in the male vocalist and Entertainer of the Year categories.

Update: Luke Combs won the Entertainer of the Year honors, the biggest award of the evening.

Eric Church and Chris Stapleton are on top, tied with five nominations apiece. Church is up for Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year (“Heart”), Single and Song of the Year (“Hell of a View”), and Male Vocalist of the Year. Stapleton is actually nominated in the exact same five categories: Entertainer and Male Vocalist, plus Album for “Starting Over,” and Single and Song for the title track. Church is the reigning champion for Entertainer of the Year, so he’s hoping to defend his title not just against Stapleton, but also Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert,...

There are guys in country music who struggle to be funny, and then there’s Dierks Bentley. In his new video for “Gone,” the singer earns easygoing, natural laughs by gamely casting himself as doomed TV characters. He’s a Game of Thrones knight incinerated by a dragon, a MacGyver hero who snips the wrong time-bomb wire, and a Fabio pitchman blinded by perfume. He even does his best Dwight Schrute in an homage to The Office.

The clip also puts Bentley in his element: onstage with his band at his Nashville honky-tonk Whiskey Row.

Sci-fi comedies these days are a tricky thing to pull off. Filmmaking conventions such as story and direction are what truly make any film either a success or a failure. The lackluster indie comedy Super Zeroes tries to be quirky and fun but sadly does not compare to other supernatural comedies of today. It’s just 90 minutes of failed jokes and an uninteresting plot. This lame film has now been released along with its equally lame soundtrack.

Ty (Reece Thompson) and Cody (Blaise Miller) own a Porta Potty business in a small country town. They are considered losers by most of the town and their lives are literally in the crapper. That is until an asteroid crashes into their house one night and they start to develop strange superpowers like turning water into beer. Their dopey friend Teet (Travis Nicholson) is also affected and the three of them must deal...

#1. Trash Humpers [1] Director: Harmony Korine Cast: Rachel Korine, Brian Kotzue, Travis Nicholson, Harmony Korine The last film by Harmony Korine Mister Lonely almost made it's way into my 2009 top 10 list ranking at number 15. The buzz on his latest film has it compared to the works of William Eggleston and his video piece Stranded in Canton. Described as a down n' dirty, lo-fi project or: "handheld video of a loser-gang cult-freak collective who do antisocial things in a non-narrative way, except for the song-and-dance numbers." Here is a video of Korine and his frequent collaborator Werner Herzog whom he is often compared to.
