Lee Ann Womack is queen of CMA awards

The article crowns Lee Ann Womack "Queen of CMA Awards" because of her three wins, but while those awards are nothing to sneeze at the Big Three awards at the show are always: Female Vocalist, Male Vocalist, and Entertainer of the Year awards and none of her wins were in those categories.

Gretchen Wilson took home the Female Vocalist honors while Keith Urban did the same for the Male Vocalist and the much-coveted Entertainer of the Year.

Urban's win in the Entertainer of the Year category was somewhat of an upset with many expecting Kenny Chesney to take the award, but the biggest disappointment of the evening probably belonged to Brad Paisley who had six nominations but ended up the evening with zero wins.
