* Best Male Country Vocal Performance: 'Sweet Thing'

* Best Country Collaboration With Vocals: 'Start A Band' w/Brad Paisley

* Best Country Album: Defying Gravity

* Best Long Form Music Video: 'Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy World Tour Live'

“I wrote and recorded Defying Gravity to touch upon the power of the human spirit,” said Urban.  “I had no idea it would’ve connected the way it did.  We saw it night after night on the Escape Together Tour and to now end the year with these nominations is pure magic", said Urban on his official website.

Congratulations Keith!
