Male Video of the Year: Luke Bryan
After striking out at last year's CMTs, Luke Bryan was thrilled to hear his name called for Best Male Video of the Year. Bryan's "I Don't Want This Night to End" beat out heavy-hitters like Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, and Toby Keith (who also played host for the night).
Female Video of the Year: Miranda Lambert
