[photogallerylink id=71371 align=left] This morning, the country world was abuzz as the Academy of Country Music released their highly anticipated nominees for the ACM Awards.  Ranging from the popular Entertainer of the Year categories all the way to Best Guitar Player, everyone in the country scene was on the edge of their seat.  But how did stars like Jason Aldean, Chris Young and Toby Keith react to their nominations?

Dierks Bentley took out his excitement on some poor unsuspecting object.
