Academy of Country Music Awards

The following winners were awarded trophies from the Academy.

George Strait "Give it away" for Song of the Year.
Carrie Underwood "Same Heart" Album of the Year.
Rodney Atkins - New Male Vocalist (Well deserved and a real East Tennessean at that)
Little Big Town - New Duo Vocal Group
Miranda Lambert - New Female Vocalist
George Strait - "Give it away" Single recorded song of the year
Brad Paisley - Male Vocalist
Rascal Flatts - Vocal Group
Brooks & Dunn - Vocal Duo **
Carrie Underwood - Female Vocalist
Kenny Chesney - Entertainer of the Year (another real East Tennessean)

Most memorable performances from this evening. Carrie Underwood with the performance of "Wasted", Taylor Swift with the performance of "When you think of Tim McGraw" and Rascal Flatts with the performance of "He ain't the leaving kind"

The only award that I completely disagree with is the 13th or 14th straight awarding of Vocal Duo to Brooks & Dunn. They are good and I have seen them perform in live concert. However, this year's top vocal duo in my humble opinion is Sugarland.
