The first-ever American Country Awards honored its inaugural winners tonight, Dec. 6, during a live broadcast from Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena via Fox-TV.
Newcomer Easton Corbin scored the very first ACA prize of the awards program and his music career during the event, which saw Carrie Underwood walk away as the evening big winner, with six trophies, while Lady Antebellum carried home a quartet of ACA prizes.
To determine the contest's winners, fans logged on to www.theacas.com to cast votes in support of their favorite country music artists. The awards include traditional categories, as well as 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.
The following is a list of the 2010 ACA winners by category.
