Unstoppable trio Lady Antebellum earned Group Video of the Year thanks to their work for “Need You Now,” and perennial favorites Brooks & Dunn walked triumphantly away with Duo of the Year video trophies for “Indian Summer.” Collaborative Video of the Year went to Blake Shelton, whose “Hillbilly Bone,” featuring Trace Adkins, topped radio and video playlists.
