Complete List of Award Recipients for 45th Annual CMA Awards !
The 2011 45th Annual Country Music Association Awards have come and gone. It was a pretty great night overall. Maybe there was just a little too much sparkle (for example, several sequin blazers from a variety of male performers or Luke Bryan‘s rhinestone studded jeans…), but there were some really strong performances, two great hosts (Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood proved to be a great comedic team…again), and a really amazing tribute to Glen Campbell by Brad Paisley, Vince Gill and Keith Urban.
My favorite part might be that both Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton won in their categories (Female and Male vocalist) for the second year in a row! It really has been a great year for them!
If you didn’t have the chance to watch it with us live, you can find the complete list of the winners below (to see a complete list of all the nominees, click here). Check it out, and see if you agree with who walked away with a CMA Award this year! Let us know what you think, and comment below.
