Last night some of the biggest names in Christian and Gospel music gathered in Nashville, Tenn. to celebrate the 50th Annual Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards. The show will air exclusively on TBN on October 20 at 8 pm EST/5 pm PST. But you don’t have to wait until then to find out who won. Here is the list of the winners.

CCM artist Lauren Daigle had the most nominations coming into the night, and left with the top award of “Artist of the Year.” She also secured the win for Pop / Contemporary Album of the Year and Song of the Year for “You Say,” which recently broke the record for the longest No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs.

Christian hip hop artist Aaron Cole surprised many, including himself, when he won for New Artist of the Year.

” I just wanna thank God, bro … It’s a lot of hard work, you feel me? This is a lot of doing rap shows, chicken dinners … sleeping on couches. Any artist out there that got a dream, if a boy from Bristol, Virginia — y’all don’t even know where that’s from — can do this, you can do this,” Cole said during his acceptance speech.

Gospel powerhouse Tasha Cobbs-Leonard, who received four nominations, won two awards for Gospel Worship Recorded Song of the Year for her hit “This Is A Move (Live),” and Gospel Worship Album of the Year. Music producer Kirk Franklin was crowned the Gospel Artist of the Year, and his song “Love Theory” brought home the award for Contemporary Gospel Recorded Song of the Year.

Bill Gaither, the gospel legend who won one of the first Dove Awards back in 1969, is still winning fifty years later. Last night he was named Southern Gospel Artist of the Year. The 83-year-old accepted the award after performing two songs with the Gaither Vocal Band.

Other winners include for King & Country, Donald Lawrence, Crowder, Danny Gokey, Lecrae, and the movie Breakthrough. You can check out the complete list of winners below.
