CMT Awards wrap-up: Carrie Underwood doesn't buckle under pressure

Despite having to sit through a mess of an awards show, Carrie Underwood could do nothing but smile at the 2010 CMT Music Awards. Carrie won two awards, including the coveted Video of the Year distinction for "Cowboy Casanova."

Carrie must've said "awesome" a dozen times upon taking the stage to receive the buckle, as she was as appreciative as always of her fans' support. She was also sure to sneak in a kiss with her fiance, Mike Fisher, before making her way through the crowd, as seen in the photo on the right.

Earlier in the show Carrie took home a buckle for CMT Performance of the Year thanks to her "Invitation Only" performance of "Temporary Home" in addition to introducing Tim McGraw for his performance of "Southern Voice" and taking the stage to perform her current smash hit "Undo It." Watch her performance (including an awkward 10-second mute mic at the beginning and Kara DioGuardi's bumbling intro) below:





Although Carrie was clearly the star of the night, Kellie Pickler also got a lot of face time despite losing out in the only category she was nominated for, Collaborative Video of the Year. Kellie helped Kid Rock kick off the show when she contributed to an all-star performance of the host's "Cowboy." She also presented an award with football bad boy Terrell "T.O." Owens and was seen "partying" backstage with Rock.

As for my predictions, I was right on with Carrie's win for PotY and loss for FVotY and Kellie's loss for CVotY, although I was [gladly] wrong about Carrie not taking home VotY.

Also in the house was Danny Gokey, who found the time to catch up with fish out of water presenters Snooki and "The Situation" from MTV's Jersey Shore. According to a tweet of his, Snooki told him her mother is a fan. Really?

HITS predix: Jennifer 45-50k

Jennifer Hudson's debut album is fighting it out for the #4 spot according to revised predictions put out by HITS Daily Double on Friday. The industry's sales tracker is guesstimating that Jennifer Hudson will take in another 45-50k, but she will have to earn it.

Her competition includes Keane, Metallica, Kid Rock and Ne-Yo, all of whom have albums trending toward the same total. The drop would be between 20-28% from last's week take of 62.7k, which shows that the album is definitely stabilizing.
