The Academy Has Spoken

In my previous blog, I gave you my predictions for the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.

Here are the winners! I'll put a (*) next to the ones I got right. Lets see how I did...

Entertainer of the Year (voted on by fans) - Kenny Chesney (*)

Top Male Vocalist - Brad Paisley

Top Female Vocalist - Carrie Underwood (*)

Top Vocal Group - Rascal Flatts (*)

Top Vocal Duo - Brooks & Dunn

Top New Male Vocalist - Jack Ingram

Top New Female Vocalist - Tayor Swift (*)

Top New Duo or Vocal Group - Lady Antebellum (*)

Album of the Year - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert

Song of the Year - "Stay" by Sugarland Written by Jennifer Nettles

Single Record of the Year - "Stay" by Sugarland (*)

Video of the Year - "Online" by Brad Paisley (*)

Vocal Event of the Year - "Find Out Who Your Friends Are" by Tracy Lawrence with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney (*)

Well, 8 out of 13 isn't that bad I guess. There were a couple "upsets" however. How about Miranda winning Album of the Year!? You go girl. And Jack Ingram as Best New Male Artist. Good for Jack.

I should also mention some other awards given out:

Academy of Country Music Crystal Milestone Award - Garth Brooks

The ACM/The Home Depot Humanitarian Award - Rascal Flatts

What did you think of the award show? How do you think Reba did hosting? Any particular stars you thought did an outstanding job performing? Anyone sound like they should have been singing in a karaoke bar?
