Not only is Luke Bryan the imaginary boyfriend of Toni Foxx,  he came in with nine nominations . . . and WON EVERY SINGLE award he was nominated for . . . including ACA Artist of the Year.  I've never seen anyone clean up like that.

Other winners included CARRIE UNDERWOOD who took home Female Artist of the Year . . . and LAUREN ALAINA who won Best New Artist.  MIRANDA LAMBERT'S song "Over You" won Single of the Year and Female Music Video of the Year.

  BEST HIGHLIGHTS: Co-host Trace Adkins and LYNYRD SKYNYRD totally rocked "What's Your Name".  As did JASON ALDEAN with "The Only Way I Know".  And LITTLE BIG TOWN'S performance of "Tornado" was nice.

 By the way, was it me or did somebody send a memo out to wear backwards baseball caps?  I saw one on DIERKS BENTLEY,KIP MOORE and LEE BRICE . . . and then I stopped looking.
