Fox Tv is presenting The American Country Awards hosted by Trace Adkins and Kristin Chenoweth Monday December 5. Fox claims, “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.”
Voting was by fans who could vote once per day until Nov. 11, 2011. However, the ARTIST OF THE YEAR category remained open until Dec. 2nd only two days before the show airs live from The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Monday, Dec. 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed). The AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS will also feature performances and appearances by the year’s chart-topping country artists.
