Nashville, Tenn. ? The music video for “Young” by Kenny Chesney was named best clip on Wednesday during the first awards show devoted to country music videos.

Chesney won best male video for the same video, a nostalgic look back at youthful fun.

Kenny Chesney receives his award for best male video Wednesday at the CMT Flameworthy Video Music Awards in Nashville, Tenn.

The first CMT Flameworthy Video Music Awards, held at the Gaylord Entertainment Center, took a cue from CMT’s sister networks, VH1 and MTV, who also broadcast irreverent awards shows. All three cable stations are owned by Viacom.

“People don’t seem to be too uptight about these awards,” said Kix Brooks of Brooks & Dunn.

In addition to country music stalwarts like Alan Jackson and Alison Krauss, there were appearances by noncountry music celebrities including the comedian Carrot Top and Verne J. Troyer, who plays Mini-Me in the “Austin Powers” films.

Performances included Brooks & Dunn singing “Only in America,” followed by a surprise appearance by ZZ Top, who joined the duo in singing the ZZ Top hit “Tush.”

The host was actress Kathy Najimy, whose only connection to Nashville is providing the voice for the animated, country-music-loving Peggy Hill of the “King of the Hill” television series.

Fans voted for the winners, except for the Video Vision Award for lifetime achievement in music video. CMT officials selected the Dixie Chicks for that honor.

Other winners:

Female video: “Blessed,” Martina McBride.

Group/duo: “Only in America,” Brooks & Dunn.

Breakthrough video (best video from a debut album): “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out,” Chris Cagle.

Fashion plate video: “Jezebel,” Chely Wright.

“LOL” (laugh out loud) video (funniest video): “I Wanna Talk About Me,” Toby Keith.

Hottest video (sexiest video): “The Cowboy in Me,” Tim McGraw.
