Keith Urban is the winner of the People's Choice Award for Favorite Male Artist. Beating out Tim McGraw, John Mayer, Jason Mraz and Eminem for the trophy, Keith offered thanks to his many fans, as well as his wife, actress Nicole Kidman.

"Thank you very much," Keith said to the screaming crowd. "Thank you to everybody that voted for this and everybody watching at home ... this means everything to me."

Keith also made a surprising admission when he welcomed his fans to download his music, even if they did it illegally! "I really don't care," he said. "I love the people here and the music."

The Favorite Male Singer finished by saying, "To my wife Nicole, I love you so much, baby girl, and I just thank you for giving me the only inspiration I need."

This is Keith's first People's Choice Award. He is nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
