2007 CMA Winners
What a night of great music, bright stars, and very deserving winners! My picks from yesterday’s blog post weren’t too far off, really. There doesn’t seem to be any really big surprises this year, although not many people were picking Sugarland to take the Best Duo award over such stalwarts as Brooks & Dunn and Montgomery Gentry, but it was definitely a good choice considering what a huge year they’ve had on the radio and in album sales.
If you want to see who won in each category, keep reading after the jump. Also, come back this weekend to see some red carpet pictures of your favorite stars.
