Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Rascall Flats score two ACM Awards

Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney and Rascall Flatts were the big winners at Tuesday night's 38th annual Academy of Country Music Awards ceremony in Las Vegas.

Each of the three artists landed a pair of awards. Jackson pulled down Album of the Year for "Drive" and Video of the Year for the album's title track; Chesney took home Top Male Vocalist and Record of the Year for his song "The Good Stuff"; and Rascal Flats snagged the Top Vocal Group award and Song of the Year for "I'm Movin' On" (written by Philip Brian White).

Single-trophy winners included Toby Keith, who came into the event with eight nominations, and left with the trophy for Entertainer of the Year; Marina McBride, who won the Top Female Vocalist award; and Brooks & Dunn, who were crowned Top Vocal Duo.

Up-and-comers Joe Nichols and Kellie Coffey snagged the New Male Vocalist and New Female Vocalist awards, respectively, while Emerson Drive won the Top New Vocal Duo/Group award.

A complete list of winners is posted at the Academy of Country Music's website.

The event revolved around award presentations, but live music was the highlight: Darryl Worley performed his No. 1 pro-war hit "Have You Forgotten?"; Lonestar--who won the fan-voted Home Depot Humanitarian Award--performed "I'm Already There"; Shania Twain performed "For Ever & for Always"; Alabama--recipient of the Pioneer Award--performed "Tennessee River"; Rascall Flatts performed "Love You Out Loud"; and Keith Urban did "Raining On Sunday."

The Dixie Chicks--who were nominated in three categories but came up empty handed, and whose name elicited boos from the audience when mentioned among the nominees for Entertainer of the Year--performed "Truth No. 2" live via satellite from their concert in Austin, Texas. That concert--despite the widely reported and perhaps overly sensationalized backlash against the group due to singer Natalie Maines' anti-Bush remark at a London concert in March--was, like many of the group's current tour dates, completely sold out.
