Soon after, she began work on her hit television comedy, "Reba," for which she was awarded a 2004 Golden Globe nomination.

McEntire has won 11 Academy of Country Music Awards and has a total of 41 nominations. In 2001, McEntire was awarded the first annual Academy of Country Music/Home Depot Humanitarian Award for her outstanding philanthropic work.

"I am honored to once again be hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards," said McEntire. "May 23rd will be a fun, music-filled night full of great performances from some of my closest friends. I can't wait!"
