Chip Esten's monologue wasn't exactly good, but as a country music fan he seemed to be a better host than most recent people tapped for this role. The awards show itself had the right mix of trophies and performances. The usual opening video sketch was as weak as it always is, but the Little Big Town bits in the same bed did get me.
