Gallery: The Dresses At The American Country Awards Were Uncharacteristically Tame

Liana Maeby — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:15:39 +0000

Where were the sparkles? And the boots? And the crazy hats? I mean, what’s the point of even having an American Country Awards if the outfits are going to be so tame? Can we go back in time and do it all over again? No? Okay, well in that case, here are some of those not-crazy-enough outfits from last night’s ACAs.

Video: Country Music Award Co-Hosts Carrie Underwood And Brad Paisley Are Really Good At Ribbing On Celebrities

Natalie Zutter — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:15:59 +0000

Last night was the first Country Music Awards I’ve watched in years—and it made me wish that I had tuned in for the past three years where Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley hosted!

This was their fourth year, and they did a pretty bang-up job. Unlike the Oscars or other shows where an unfunny monologue drags on painfully, the eight minutes flew by. Probably because they skewered people gleefully and never too nastily, and didn’t leave country music out of it. They started off the night’s Barbie-doll-lookalike gags with Brad and Carrie’s delightful gift-giving of Faith Hill and Tim McGraw dolls.

Their three-person duet with Modern Family‘s Eric Stonestreet where they mock Kim Kardashian‘s short-lived marriage, titled “I’m Gonna Love You Forever, For 72 Days Amen,” was genius. And they were willing to turn the humor around on themselves: They make fun of Hank Williams, Jr. for the controversial comments he made on Fox and Friends, where he compared President Obama to Hitler. Some sample lyrics:

People want to know, Hank, why do you drink (before an interview!)
Why do you smoke (before an interview!)
Football ain’t the same
Without that song that you wrote
Stop and think it over
Let me help you get the picture
You can drunk and start carrying on
But you can’t compare the president to Hitler

I’m gonna say it now—can these guys take over for Eddie Murphy and host the Oscars? They know enough about celebrity scandals to keep up with jokes, and the Academy could use some fresh blood.

Gallery: Did The Country Music Awards Attendees Poke Fun At Kim Kardashian’s Divorce By Wearing White?

Natalie Zutter — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 04:11:46 +0000

We can’t necessarily prove it. But Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley‘s opening monologue did include a song riffing on Kim Kardashian‘s failed marriage to Kris Humphries. So why should it be such a stretch that the nominees and presenters all decided to wear white in honor of the reality-TV newlywed/soon-to-be divorcée?

The Most Endearingly Bad Hair From The 45th Annual Country Music Awards

Meghan Keane — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:22:14 +0000

There is something so charming about Country Music award shows. For instance, the artists still actually perform live music and are able to sing without autotune.

But also, you’ve got to give it to country music for its its ongoing dedication to big hair. Not only are these women going to show up to their awards shows with their hair sprayed up within an edge of its life, but they’re not gonna let a little thing like HD television get in the way of their hair spraying ways.

Gallery: Sparkles, Sequins And Carrot Top Prevail At The American Country Awards

Drew Grant — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:30:42 +0000

Wait, didn’t we just have the American Country Awards several weeks back? Oh, that was the Country Music Awards? Well what about last week…oh, that was the American Music Awards, that’s right. Thank god for Google Calendar or I’d never get any of this straight.

Though this ceremony did distinguish itself in ways the CMAs failed to. Sure, there was the usual amount of tassels masquerading as the bottom parts of dresses, and men wearing inappropriately casual Ed Hardy shirts. But did the other music award shows have both Carrot Top and famed illusionist Criss Angel? I rest my case, good sir. Sir, I said I rest my case! Now be a good lad at fetch me some of those Uncle Krackers.

By the way, Carrie Underwood and Lady Antebellum won all the awards, so it really wasn’t that much different from the CMAs after all.

Style Overload: Whose CMA Awards Look Was The Sparkliest?

Liana Maeby — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 16:00:05 +0000

Our CMAs live chat went well, thanks for asking. Did you miss it? Well to recap, most of the three hours (I knooow, right?) were spent writing some version of “whoa, that dress is SPARKLY.” Because seriously, everything was so, so sparkly! To the point that we began to suspect Nashville suffered some sort of glitter factory explosion. Or maybe that’s just what weather’s like in the south? Put on a pair of sunglasses and check out the shiny ensembles for yourself.
