Joey Feek may be gone, but certainly not forgotten.

The country singer -- who died on March 4 after a long battle with terminal cancer -- was honored at the Academy of Country Music Awards Sunday night in Las Vegas.


During the beautiful tribute, which was presented by Darius Rucker and Martina McBride, a photo of Joey appeared on the screen, which immediately received a standing ovation from the star-studded audience.

"A few weeks ago, we lost a member of our country music family with the passing of Joey Feek," Rucker began.

McBride chimed in, saying, "Joey was more than a wonderful singer and an ACM winner along with her husband, Rory -- she was a beloved mom, daughter, family member and friend."


"Of all the different ways we could honor Joey, we think that what would mean the most to Joey and her family is just one more time for all of us -- all of her fans and all of us who loved her -- to give her a big round of applause," Rucker added.

Tonight, a host of celebrities hit up the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles for the 2016 People’s Choice Awards to see if they gained enough favor from the public to take home a statue. It’s the first awards show of the year, and one of many to air this month. Will the PCA’s set the sartorial tone for Awards Season 2016? You be the judge.

Luke Bryan was truly the hostest with the mostest at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday, where he not only held court but also had two nods.

The nominees were heavily male dominated, with all five Album of the Year nods going to male artists, and the majority of non-gender-specific awards, such as Vocal Group of the Year and Single Record of the Year, featured men.

However, there were some female artists who enjoyed some big wins -- including Miranda Lambert taking home her 7th Female Vocalist of the Year award -- and a number of the night's most impressive performances were delivered by female singer -- such as Carrie Underwood's amazing, futuristic performance of her hit single, "Church Bells."

See who won big Sunday night with the complete list of 2016 ACM Award winners below:

Entertainer of the Year:Jason Aldean

The "Little Red Wagon" singer won Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards (for an astounding seventh consecutive year!), where she received a standing ovation in one of the biggest crowd reactions of the night.

"I love seeing a bunch of new country girls up here shining, singing their great songs that they wrote themselves," Lambert said during her acceptance speech, highlighting female country artists at the show. "I'm really excited for women in country music, and I'm glad to be here as one of them.

"I love y'all fans, thank you so much," the 32-year-old country star concluded her speech, wearing a Kimora Lee Simmons black jumpsuit that was different from the yellow Christian Siriano gown she rocked on the red carpet.

It seems Nashville turned out for Lambert, who also didn't disappoint shortly afterward during an absolutely badass performance of "Tush" with Keith Urban and Billy Gibbons.
