The awards were launched last year by boutique entertainment agency Origins Music Group to recognize emerging, independent and underrepresented artists and executives in the Nashville music community.
Palmer, who received the Academy of Country Music Honors Lift Every Voice Award in August, took home two awards: the Cultural Impact Award for her Apple Music podcast Color Me Country, and the Innovative Project Award for From Where I Stand, a newly expanded version of a boxed set originally released in 1998 by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Warner Music Nashville that highlights the works of Black country and Americana artists. Palmer shared the latter award with BMI’s Shannon Sanders and the CMHOF.
Angie K won artist of the year, while Sacha’s “Hey Mom I Made It” captured song of the year.

Music documentaries are well-represented on the list of 201 features that are eligible in the documentary feature film category for the 98th Academy Awards. Docs about BTS’s avid fan army, Tejano star Selena, rock gods Led Zeppelin, John Lennon & Yoko Ono and songwriter Diane Warren are in the running for nominations.
The Warren doc includes a new song that she wrote for the film, “Dear Me,” which may bring the veteran songwriter a 17th Oscar nomination for best original song.
The longlist includes two films about very different live experiences that became cultural touchstones – Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror and Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery – the Untold Story.
There’s the cheekily titled Billy Idol Should Be Dead, as well as docs about some music and entertainment personalities who are, in fact, dead, including songwriter Jeff Buckley, Selena and Lennon (both shot to death, tragically), comedians Andy Kaufman and Stiller & Meara, 1960s sex symbol Jayne Mansfield and ventriloquist and puppeteer Shari Lewis.
There are two films about Oscar-winners for best actress — Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (Liza Minnelli) and Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore.
Members of the Documentary Branch will vote to determine the shortlist of 15 films and then the five nominees.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also released the list of feature films eligible in the animated feature film and international feature film categories. Thirty-five features are eligible in the animated feature film category. Eighty-six countries or regions have submitted films that are eligible in the international feature film category.
Shortlists in 10 categories will be announced on Tuesday, Dec. 16. Nominations for the 98th Academy Awards will be announced on Thursday, Jan. 22. The 98th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 15 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC.

Olivia Dean took a couple minutes out of her day on Friday (Nov. 21) to put Ticketmaster, Live Nation and AEG Presents on blast for the resale ticket prices to her 2026 North American tour.
Tickets to Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving Tour went on sale to the general public on Friday and quickly sold out in minutes.
With some resale prices climbing into the thousands of dollars, the “Man I Need” singer voiced her disgust with Ticketmaster, Live Nation and AEG Presents in an Instagram Story.
“@Ticketmaster @Livenation @AEGPresents you are providing a disgusting service,” she wrote. “The prices at which you’re allowing tickets to be re-sold is vile and completely against our wishes. Live music should be affordable and accessible and we need to find a new way of making that possible. BE BETTER.”
Dean added in a separate IG Story that her team was looking into the matter. “I’m sorry that there seems to be an issue with ticket re-selling and pricing. My team are currently looking into it,” she continued. “It is extremely frustrating as the last thing I want is for anyone to be scammed or overcharged for our show. Please be wary buying tickets in the comment sections as it is most likely a scam.”
Ticketmaster later reshared the singer’s Instagram Story that called out the company, writing on its own account: “We support artists’ ability to set the terms of how their tickets are sold and resold. @oliviadeano, we will cap resale prices on our site at face value and hope other resale sites will follow.”
The ticket company explained in a July blog post how its Face Value Exchange works, and how it tries to give fans the “best chance to buy tickets at the original price set by artists.”
Billboard has reached out to Ticketmaster, Live Nation and AEG Presents for comment.
Olivia Dean’s 2026 tour kicks off in the U.K. and Europe, beginning with Glasgow, Scotland, in April, and wraps June 20 in Dublin. Her U.S. summer trek is slated to kick off in San Francisco on July 10, and she’ll be making stops in Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta, Toronto, Las Vegas, Boston, Houston and finish up in Austin on Aug. 28. The Art of Loving Tour’s NYC dates include four shows at Madison Square Garden.
Dean had been opening for Sabrina Carpenter on the final leg of the singer’s Short n’ Sweet Tour, and announced her own North American headlining trek earlier in November.
The British pop star has gained significant momentum in recent months, following her Saturday Night Live debut Nov. 15, and her subsequent trip to Australia, where she performed a show in Sydney and at the 2025 ARIA Awards.
Dean currently has four tracks on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Man I Need” sitting at No. 5. The 26-year-old’s The Art of Loving album is also slotted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 dated Nov. 22.
