Dierks Bentley and Brothers Osborne won an ACM before the show even started, winning for "Musical Event of the Year". We can tell that they have a really fun relationship, because Dierks goofed around with the guys, even framing John Osborne's beard with his hands, and did he go in for a....sniff?
John didn't flinch while Dierks was goofing around, but we did notice that Dierks never touched the beard.
Good move.
