Carrie Underwood Wins Big, While Kellie Pickler Cries at the CMAs

Whoah, that is a very pretty, very elegant banana on stage at the Country Music Awards. And I am using that description as one of the highest compliments I can think of because it happens to be one of my favorite fruits. Carrie Underwood looks fabulous and it's a good thing too because she found herself on stage twice to accept a major award last night. Like last year, Carrie was awarded female vocalist of the year and was also honored with the single of the year, for her song "Before He Cheats." While Carrie Underwood was enjoying her second year of success on stage a the CMAs, another "American Idol" alum also graced the stage to perform. Kellie Pickler became so emotionally overcome while performing a song on stage that she had written about her estranged mother, that she sang with tears streaming down her face. I love crazy emotional awards show moments! I want more! Please enjoy it with me after the jump, where we've embedded video of it for your viewing pleasure. But before you do, check out the pix below of Nicole Kidman with hubby, Keith Urban, as well as Kate Walsh of "Private Practice" at the event as well.
