American Country Awards

In just under a month the American Country Awards will be airing on FOX at 8PM ET on Tuesday December, 10.  You can vote daily on who you'd like to see the various awards by visiting the ACAs website.  For now I'll just share with you the categories & the nominees.  On the day of the awards I'll share with you who I've been voting for and who I think will actually win.
