Morgan Wallen was nominated in seven categories last night, and while he only took home one, it was the coveted Entertainer of the Year. Despite winning the top award of the night, Wallen was absent from the ceremony.  Even more amazing was actor Jeff Bridges mispronunciation of "Wallen" when he announced the award winner.  Online fans theorize he was imbibing.
