ACM Awards Winners 2010
Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert are the top winners at the 2010 ACM Awards. Lady A, who came into the show leading the pack with seven nominations, walked away with three ACM trophies -- Single and Song of the Year for their chart-topping tune, 'Need You Now,' along with Vocal Group of the Year. Miranda Lambert is the ACM's Top Female Vocalist, to add to her Video of the Year trophy for 'White Liar' and Album of the Year honors for her critically-acclaimed project, 'Revolution.'
Luke Bryan is the ACM's Top New Artist, in the first of two fan-voted awards handed out Sunday night in Las Vegas. And Carrie Underwood takes home the ACM's top honors, Entertainer of the Year, in the second fan-voted category. The Oklahoma beauty also makes history as the first female ever to win ACM Entertainer of the Year twice.
