Nicole Kidman's husband Keith Urban didn't win the top prize at the Country Music Awards (CMA), but most observers reckoned the Australian actresses' burgeoning bump stole the show.
Kidman and Urban posed for photos before the awards ceremony, at which Urban was one of the leading contenders for the CMA's 'Entertainer of the Year' gong.
In the end, he lost out to the perennially popular Kenny Chesney, who matched Garth Brooks record of four wins in the category.
However, Chesney wasn't all that pleased with his victory, which was decided by an internet vote.
The singer said: "I don't think it's right that they picked the one award that means the most, that all artists sacrificed the most for, and turned it into a sweepstakes; to seeing who can push people's buttons the hardest on the internet.
"It's a complete disrespect of the artists. I think because of that it really diminishes the integrity of the work."
2005 American Idol winner Carrie Underwood was also a winner on the night, taking the 'Top Female Vocalist' prize, while Brad Paisley was named 'Top Male Vocalist'.
Kidman and Urban, meanwhile, have revealed that they know the baby's gender, but won't reveal it to the public.
Before the awards ceremony, Urban told Las Vegas local radio station KYCE: "I'm very excited about it. But I'm not saying. I'm glad we found out though, because it brought it home, you know what I'm saying."
