The Country Music Awards--Not Just For Hillbillys!

The Country Music Awards - Not Just For Hillbillys!


Post contributed by Hilton Miranda

The Country Music Awards ceremony last took place on June 9, 2010 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. The CMA's are interesting to watch, as voting is often so competitive that it is difficult to predict who the winners will be. This year was my favorite year watching, not only because some of the best artists performed and took home awards, but because I got to watch it like never before, on my new big screen TV with my high definition direct tv family package channels!

This years Country Music Awards biggest winners included Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Brooks and Dunn, Luke Bryan, Shaun Silva, Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins.

*Carrie Underwood was this year's big winner with two awards, one for CMT performer of the year, with her hit single "Temporary Home", and one for video of the year, with the video "Cowboy Casanova".

*Keith Urban won the male video of the year award with "Til Summer Comes Around".

*Miranda Lambert took home the female video of the year award for "White Liar".

*Lady Antebellum took home the group video of the year award for "Need you Now".

*Brooks and Dunn dominated the duo video of the year category with "Indian Summer".

*Luke Bryan won the USA weekend breakthrough video of the year award for "Do I".

*Shaun Silva took home the director of the year award for "Indian Summer", "Out Last Night", "Rain Is a Good Thing", "Here Comes Goodbye", "Summer Nights", "Living for the Night", "Nightswimming/Joey", "Keep You", "I'm Alive" and "Do I".
