Last night Carrie Underwood became only the seventh woman to be named ACM Entertainer of the Year since the show began in 1970.

The last time a woman won the award was eight years ago when the Dixie Chicks picked up the 2001 honor.

Duh.

Jessica Simpson, Kellie Pickler, LeAnn Rimes and Julianne Hough announced the nominees for the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in the Ford Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday.

Not surprisingly, Jessica received zero nominations.

But Julianne did! As Top New Female Vocalist.

Leading the pack with four nominations each were Kenny Chesney, Jamey Johnson and George Strait, while Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban got three each. Our new favorite, Sugarland got the nod for Top Vocal Duo.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
