Kristin Chenoweth and Trace Adkins hosted the second annual American Country Awards Monday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The broadcast was aired live on the Fox Network.

The ACA event presents life-size guitar trophies to the fan-voted recipients. This new Vegas gig has been widely criticized by award show purists, who believe it pales in comparison to the prestigious CMA Awards, ACM Awards and CMT Music Awards.

Try as they might, Chenoweth and Adkins didn’t knock it out of the ballpark with their comedic schtick. The difference is their size was the basis for many of the jokes. Kristin made a Rocky Balboa type appearance in boxing garb, hung from Adkins’ in a sling-front baby style carrier and pranced around with a padded butt that rivaled that of Nicki Minaj.

There were the requisite number of costume changes for the Broadway star. She risked a major wardrobe malfunction with the gorgeous green gown that left very little to the imagination.

Artist of the Year honors went to Jason Aldean. Male Artist was Brad Paisley and Female honors went to Carrie Underwood. The New Artist of the Year was American Idol winner Scotty McCreery.
