2011 American Country Awards Winners Announced

Jason Aldean wound up the big winner at the 2011 American Country Awards held on December 5th in Las Vegas and broadcast live on FOX. Fans voted on the winners, with Taylor Swift and Thompson Square also proving to be fan favorites. The ACAs set themselves apart from the pack of music awards by allowing Country music listeners to vote and by honoring artists in categories not normally recognized. Plus, the winners get guitars instead of little trophies.
