Oh, CMT Music Awards.

You see, her dreamsalwayscome true.

At one point or another this year, they all had to be bailed out.

Except for in my living room.

But last week John Rich said onLarry Kingthat he might run for the governor of Tennessee in 2010.

Half the audience grew a sense of humor.

Best acceptance speech:Hands down, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban.

Urban was clearly creeped out by Vicky, which was adorable.

It has to do with when he was young he was attacked by a ventriloquist dummy, he said.

When he was asleep as a little boy.)

Because whats more creative than a strip pole on a pontoon boat?

Worst presenter patter:Honestly, pretty much every pairing was painful.

The only bright spot was Melissa Peterson and Dierks Bentley.

She borrowed some of Taylor Swifts determination and laid one on him.

Wow, I thought that was supposed to be on the cheek.

You, uh, got me on that one, he said.

It was my dream.

Dont you step on my dream!

(She looked hot when they presented, right?)

Best dressed:Kellie Pickler.

Sexy but classy, Pickler.

And not wearing a necklace that would compete with that gorgeous bejeweled neckline well, done.

Worst dressed:Katie Cook.

Now, I love this woman.

(She finally asked him about his most recent car purchase and he gave a full sentence.)

Disqualification: Pour Some Sugar on Me.

It also couldve been because she sounded kinda karaoke.

Worst song to dance to:Darius Ruckers Alright.

Darius was consistently flat and no amount of dancing or enthusiasm could hide that.

Best haircut:Jason Michael Carroll!Nowshoulder-length!He was the B-stage performer I was happiest to see.

Worst haircut:Or lack thereof: Trace Adkins.

See how pretty you could look.

Joe: The Rise of CobraandTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Hes more than a quick wit and a great guitar player.

Also, when they all talked to Whitney backstage.

Asked about Love Shack crossing over to country, Kate said: Tin roof, rusted?

How much more country can you get?

Nettles said: Good music is good.

Its no longer defined bysome image or lifestyle.

Its about what makes you feel good.

And theseguys make us feel good.

And Kristian Bush (who got to sing!)

(I love when he goes into the cheap seats like that.)
