ACM Executive Vice President and Managing Director Tiffany Moon presented Church and his manager (and co-director of the video) John Peets with the award. “It’s unbelievable. I can’t believe it at all. It’s crazy. He did this record. We did it all kind of secret and decided to make our video really quick,” Peets said.
“It’s the cheapest video that’s ever won Video of the Year, I’ll tell you that. It’s just us,” said Church.
Church is nominated for four other trophies Sunday evening, including his first ACM Entertainer of the Year nomination, as well as his third Male Vocalist of the Year nomination. He is nominated for Album of the Year for Mr. Misunderstood, as well as Vocal Event of the Year for “Raise ‘Em Up” with Keith Urban.
