The first-ever AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS – the show for the next generation of Country Music Fans!
The two-hour primetime special is the only country music awards show that gives fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite artists not only in traditional categories but also in previously unrecognized areas of the business such as touring, encompassing the entire spectrum of country music and bestowing honors that no other awards show has. You can vote for your favorites once a day until November 8, 2010, in all categories. However, there’s one big exception to that: the ARTIST OF THE YEAR category will remain open until December 4th – two days before the show airs live from The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Monday, Dec., 6 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
There are going to be big musical performances and some never before seen music collaborations! But we’re also bringing the funny by having big name comedians on hand to make this a night of fun and music! Keep checking back here to see who will be on the show and to vote.
