The American Country Awards take the stage tonight with hosts Trace Adkins and Kristin Chenoweth in a show that will honor fan favorites in several categories. The show differs from other awards shows as it is the votes of the fans that decide the winner in each category and this is only the second year for the show. The main categories are music, video, and touring. Instead of a trophy, winners get a custom guitar made by the legendary Fender Company. We are live blogging the results of the American Country Awards tonight and it starts at 8pm on FOX. Tune in to the show or keep checking back here for the latest live updates as they happen on the 2011 ACA Awards. Will Lady Antebellum repeat as the best Duo? Will Carrie Underwood dominate the categories like she did last year? It all depends on how the fans voted.

Trace Adkins opens with a medley of his best songs. Trace is just as good live as he is on his albums. He introduces Kristin Chenoweth and she comes out dressed as a boxer and the theme of Rocky playing. She challenges him to a sing off to be the only host of the show. She picks Oklahoma and Trace immediately nails it. Trace picks “Honky Tonk Bedonkidonk” and she has a huge butt in her pants. Pretty funny!
