Williams-Paisley was recently seen in "We are Marshall," co-starring opposite Matthew McConaughey, "How to Eat Fried Worms," with Tom Cavanagh, and the coming of age comedy "Eden Court."

She recently wrote, directed and starred in - with Patrick Dempsey - the film "Shade," for which she won the Director's Choice: Outstanding Directing and Acting in a Short Award at the Sedona International Film Festival. She will be rooting for husband Brad Paisley, who is tied with George Strait for the most CMA Awards nominations this year.
