Kacey Musgraves has been a huge presence in the country music field this past year and a half, all without the support of country radio. She would absolutely deserve an EOTY nod if she were to get one. Not really holding my breath for that to happen given the way women tend to get the shaft in award categories like that, but I'd definitely love to see it and she's more than earned it. Her and Carrie both belong in there.
Also as much as I enjoyed the dynamic of Carrie + Brad over the years, I am STOKED about the replacements for him being Dolly + Reba. They really couldn't have picked better legends if they tried. Both of them are great personalities for TV, so I am very excited to see what they bring to the CMAs. I can't wait. Would love if we got a Dolly Parton performance of some kind this year. I figure Reba has a good shot given that she just released a new album of material just a few months ago, but Dolly hasn't done anything super recently. It'd be a missed opportunity to not get her to sing something though imo.

Disagreed. She won the GRAMMY for Album of the Year. From an awards/industry standpoint, you can’t accomplish anything higher than that. Having said that, I don’t think anyone’s got Kacey as a deadlock to win EOTY. It’d be great to see her nominated! In a perfect world, the CMA Entertainer noms this year would be: Carrie, Eric, Kacey, and 2 others that I really don’t care about b/c nobody else measures up. As you said, seeing her nominated would be awesome already (and I'm not even very confident about that). Winning - even if very deserving - feels a bit improbable (especially considering she's a female) Her tour schedule says she'll be on John Prine's "All The Best" Festival which takes place from Nov. 11 to 15. I wonder if she's not attending the CMAs this year. :(
EOTY: Carrie, Eric, Thomas, Kane, Combs

Here’s my pre nominations predictions, This is hard to do. Entertainer: Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett Female: Carrie Underwood, Kacey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert Male: Eric Church, Kane Brown, Keith Urban, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett Group: Eli Young Band, Little Big Town, Old Dominion, Runaway June, Zac Brown Band Duo: Brooks & Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Maddie & Tae New: Ashley McBryde, Jordan Davis, Morgan Wallen, Riley Green, Runaway June Album: Center Point Road (Thomas Rhett), Desperate Man (Eric Church), GIRL (Maren Morris), Honky Tonk Time Machine (George Strait), Prequel (Luke Combs) Song: Beautiful Crazy (Luke Combs), GIRL (Maren Morris), Good As You (Kane Brown), I Don’t Remember Me (Brothers Osborne), Rainbow (Kacey Musgraves) Single: Beautiful Crazy (Luke Combs), GIRL (Maren Morris), Good As You (Kane Brown), Look What God Gave Her (Thomas Rhett), Miss Me More (Kelsea Ballerini) Video: Desperate Man (Eric Church), GIRL (Maren Morris), Good As You (Kane Brown), Rainbow ( Kacey Musgraves), Someone I Used To Know (Zac Brown Band) Vocal: Babe (Sugarland, Swift) Burning Man (Dierks, Brothers Osborne), Dive Bar (Garth, Blake), Up Down (Wallen, FGL), What Happens In A Small Town, Brantley, Ell) No Luke Bryan, Aldean, Stapleton. They don’t deserve any recognition this year in in my opinion. You can check official nominee showcase on the first page to amend your predictions. The Prequel (EP) is not competing in Album of the Year, for example.

Seeing since we are just starting to get actual news about the C.M.A. Awards, maybe it's time to retitle the thread 2019 C.M.A. Awards. Then, carriefan15 can put in the list of the nominees in the first post (maybe with last year's winners). Getting news about the hostesses was fantastic. I think the law firm of Parton/McEntire/Underwood will be a great combination.

EOTY: Carrie, Eric, Thomas, Kane, Combs I could see a case being made for TR. Luke Combs is a longshot simply because of how new he is. Kane Brown ain’t anywhere close to the category yet.

I think Combs has a better chance because of his sales and touring have been phenomenal. Kinda how Chris Stapleton got in the category early too. I agree that Kane has no shot and I wouldn’t be shocked to see Thomas miss out for someone else, possibly Garth or Kacey. Just my entertainer predictions Eric Church Luke Combs Kacey Musgraves Thomas Rhett Carrie Underwood Possible alternates: Garth Brooks, Chris Stapleton, Keith Urban.

Kane wasn’t even on the second ballot for Entertainer of the Year so there is literally no chance he’ll be nominated.

Entertainer of the Year
Garth Brooks Luke Bryan Eric Church Kacey Musgraves Carrie Underwood Keith Urban
... I know I have six here, thinking we may very well have two female nominees. All the signs seem to be pointing to that, with the whole theme and all. If not, I’d say Kacey is out and Garth is in... All that I really care about is Carrie making the final five. At this point I’ll be pretty upset if she doesn’t get nominated, but it honestly seems like she will.

Out-of-the-box prediction: Taylor Swift & Dixie Chicks perform “Soon You’ll Get Better” on the telecast this year. With the CMA Awards this year being focused on the history of females in country music, this would pretty much be a no brainer. It would be an easy way to get two of the biggest female acts in the history of the genre on the show, an easy promo opportunity for Taylor and her new album in front of her original country audience and easy promo for whatever the Dixie Chicks are doing (they have to be getting ready to do something other than just this song, rtight?). Maybe it's just me wishing and hoping that this will happen, but it really does make all of the sense in the world (to me) for this to happen.

I hope that Runaway June gets at least 1 nom of either New Artist or Vocal Group. Doubt they would win either, but I think they will get in for at least one of the categories.

If Eric Church doesn’t win entertainer of the year after the year he had, it’s all wrong. That’s all I’ve got to say regarding the CMA’s.

I'm preparing myself for them repeating the same people who have been getting nominated in the past few years
That's why I'm not getting my hopes up for Kacey getting nominated. No way are they nominating 2 women in that category (unfortunately)

No way are they dominating 2 women in that category (unfortunately) I’m *cautiously* optimistic, seeing as the show this year is very front-facing in its championing of women (see: the hosts). But again...emphasis on “cautiously,” lol.

I was feeling more confident a couple of weeks ago, but over time I realized it's a huge mountain to climb
Them making this year about "championing women" can only help, but I'm not sure how much that will affect nominations. Guess we'll see tomorrow

This is my take on Entertainer of The Year and who should win (just having fun). Eric Church and Carrie Underwood if they r nominated are my two picks for that category. There is no reason why one of these two cant win Entertainer Of The Year. I'm actually surprised that these two never won that category.

Eric and Carrie (and Jason, but ehhh) are the big names of today who absolutely should’ve already won, one of the two should and absolutely deserve to win this year. Not a huge Eric fan, but he is long overdue just like Carrie. Hoping these two see EOTY nominations tomorrow morning!
Cautiously optimistic as well for Carrie’s chances, but considering she’s hosting the show with two of the biggest women in country music EVER who are two of like seven female winners since the beginning, it just seems like they’re setting this up for Carrie. I mean, imagine if she isn’t nominated how stupid that’ll look as she leads the hosting gig with Reba and Dolly, it’d almost be embarrassing for country music, tbh. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen because the genre should already be embarrassed for its overall treatment of women since basically the 90s (or since country’s beginning, really), but they’re just now starting to do something about it... We’ll see...

For this final round of voting before nominations come out, do voters pick five finalists, or just one? Anyone know how that works? I know the final round before the show they just pick one, but I wonder if voters chose multiple nominees for the official nominations - as I think that would probably be a better way of avoiding voting blocs/politics. While Eric and Carrie may not be voter’s #1 choice, for many they’d certainly be in their top five, no?
Thanks :)
