Could add Eric Church into Entertainer and Male nominations.
Either Way or Broken Halos could have Song and/or Single nominations.
Not sure whether Forever Country will have Vocal Event nomination because it seems there is a conflict of interest.

I sure hope Lauren Alaina can pick up a few nominations. I think she has a strong shot at female vocalist and hopefully new artist. I'd love to see her album be nominated as it is one of the best mainstream albums of 2017 and I'd love to see her nominated for "What Ifs". Do you think we can have this thread just potentially be the CMA Awards in general this year if the staff doesn't mind. sabre14? |

Not sure whether Forever Country will have Vocal Event nomination because it seems there is a conflict of interest. "Forever Country" was recorded for last year's CMAs, so I don't see it being a conflict of interest at all (if anything, it would have been for this year's ACMs where it was nominated). I'd actually be pretty surprised if it didn't win in the Vocal Event category this year. |

Usually we just have the official CMA Awards thread include everyone's predictions but since this was started as a prediction thread, we could always just edit the opening post (which I probably can't do for a while) but perhaps Kanenrá:ke could do the honors, when we get the nominees announced. Or the other option is to have the incredibly efficient 14887fan start an official CMA Awards thread. |

I must have misread one of the Country sites I was on, because I swore the site said the nominees were coming out August 10st. The problem is I can't find the link that backs it up. I looked earlier to find that link but I couldn't find it. |

In total seriousness, I'm indifferent on whether or not this acts as the official thread. I understand if a more official opening post is desired, though. |

Watch Garth Brooks sneak a nomination for entertainer of the year There would be absolutely no hope for anything left if that happens. He stole his award last year, he can step to the back this year. |

Watch Garth Brooks sneak a nomination for entertainer of the year His tour is crazy successful...not to mention he's been nominated in recent years for awards with his singles doing worse than his current one (Ask Me How I Know) is on the charts. It wouldn't bother me if he got nominated, guy is the very definition of an "entertainer" lol. |

Eric Church had the biggest and most successful tour of 2017. If he doesn't win I'll be floored let alone nominated
He played 4 hours and 40 songs a show

The eligibility period for this years awards just ended on June 30th, so if anything they are in the middle of the nominating process. Last year the nominees were announced on August 31st. |

Can we get all who have posted here copy their posts to the CMA thread? Then we have to get stanches21 to delete this thread (after I delete this post). Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

I moved the posts from the prediction thread, into this "official" thread...but Pulse decided to bump the official thread posts to the bottom, even though 14887fan is still listed as the thread starter lol...I'll be here all night folks.  Kanenrá:ke or I will edit the opening post if we need to eventually. |

I was not holding a gun to anyone's head. Stop, please stop. Your intentions, while well meaning, are not necessary. You're not a staff member. Sometimes moving posts isn't as simple as the click of a button, sometimes it acts screwy (as evidence by the fact it put 14887fan 's posts towards the bottom (not even directly the bottom...which is extremely strange and out of a staffers control when deciding to move a collection of posts). The OP not being nice and neat isn't the end of the world and can be edited by a staff member. Let's move on and discuss the CMA Awards. |

Rooting for Eric in Entertainer of the Year, Miranda in Female Vocalist, Song and Album of the Year... how about Jon Pardi? He's had such a breakout year... is he eligible for Best New Artist? (I miss when the award was called Horizon Award... It made more sense LOL)

This year's show will likely focus heavily on ML love. I think the album + "Tin Man" will all see some major love. I think Lauren Alaina will pick up 3 noms -- Female, Album, and New Artist. And I think EOTY will come down to being between Eric Church and Chris Stapleton.

Never seen either live (Chris is about 45 minutes away from my hometown tonight), but that'd be pretty cool. |
