Heres the best and worst of the night as seen from in front of my television.
While were there, we meet a couple of ladies that were trying to pick up, right?
We custom-make his boots.
And they were like, Really?
Were like, Oh yeah.
Thank you, George.
This was McConaugheys first ACMs, and he said he wants to come back.
I can see him being their Jack Nicholson.
I got nothin…I want to see those boots, Matthew.
[Audience erupts in laughter] Im just kidding.
Apparently you all agree.
Its a way of life to me and Miley.
Its part of who we are.
Anyone else get nervous when Foxx asked the Republican-friendly audience to give it up for President Obama?
(The only close-up we got was of Sugarland, but everyone seemed to politely applaud.)
Best Actress: Sugarlands Jennifer Nettles.I loved seeing her seduce the camera during the sultry-but-not-slutty What Id Give.
I cant wait for their EOTY nomination.
(Incidentally, I also find her to be country musics best dancer.
That was no Miranda Lambert song.
Best cameo: Little Jimmy Dickens.I was just happy to see him after his January surgery.
Worst cameo:David Copperfield.Wearing a cowboy hat, he made Taylor Swift appear for her performance.
Worst wardrobe malfunction:The mammoth gown Carrie Underwood performed I Told You Soin.
In her live blog, Whitney Pastorek likened her look to Jabba the Hut.
(Though the color was stunning.)
Host Reba McEntire, too: I was going to wear that exact same dress, she cracked afterward.
Worst feminist statement:Americas No.
I guess I passed.
I didnt say the joke wasnt funny.
Best ensemble number:Til the Last Shots Fired.
Worst ensemble number:The opening.
But, having them all onstage at the end was anti-climactic, for me at least.
It didnt feel like they were actually performing together because you couldnt hear most of them.
So whats the point?
Maybe the sound was better in the room.
There you have it.
What were your bests and worsts of the night?
Whose album can you no longer put off buying?
(Me: Lady Antebellum and Jamey Johnson.)
Even Michael Phelps and Willie Nelson are teamin up to do an album.
I bet thats the first time Ive ever said straight and Elton John in the same sentence?
And what was your favorite acceptance speech?
Glad Im an idiot, he said.
Thank you very much.
