By Dave Paris on June 10, 2010

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Carrie Underwood won twice, including the night's top prize for video of the year, to emerge as the big winner at the 2010 CMT Music Awards held Wednesday in Nashville.

Underwood, 27, won video of the year honors for "Cowboy Casanova." She also grabbed the CMT performance of the year video for a live version of "Temporary Home."

"Awesome fans," Underwood said as she accepted the video of the year trophy. "Thanks for seeing me out on the tour. God bless you guys. You are the best."

Lady Antebellum also had a good night, winning group video of the year for "Need You Now."

Other notable winners included Brooks & Dunn, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins.

"We were very much not expecting this," joked Kix Brooks as he accepted the duo video award for Brooks & Dunn's "Indian Summer." "We were not expecting this so much that Mr. Dunn has gone to the restroom – in Santa Fe, N.M. ... If you think I'm bringing you this award, Ronnie, you're crazy, man. This is just the kind of thing that will make 'em think we're breaking up the duo."

The ceremony, held at the Bridgestone Arena, was hosted by Kid Rock.
