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 :) They choose up to five. theboot.com/cma-awards-voting-process/

When the world comes to an end, and there's a new human society running their own form of the CMAs, Miranda Lambert will still be getting 5 nominations a ceremony and winning at least 2 of the categories.

A lot of our predictions on here are better than that site. He didn’t even spell Kacey right.

Album Of The Year Center Point Road - Thomas Rhett Cry Pretty - Carrie Underwood Dan + Shay - Dan + Shay Desperate Man - Eric Church GIRL - Maren Morris
New Artist of the Year Cody Johnson Ashley McBryde Midland Carly Pearce Morgan Wallen

Of course they wouldn't nominate 2 women for EotY They would rather have Garth Brooks for a millionth time

*high-fives self for nailing the Album nominees*
Yay @ Carrie & Eric! Boo @ Garth. Would’ve loved to see Kacey there. Will absolutely lose my mind if Brooks wins EOTY again.

Album to me was the expected five. The critical and sales successes of the year.
New Artist to me is a little surprise...very much they picked the artists that the critics like versus the WGWG's that have had a lot of radio success (Jordan Davis, Morgan Evans, Russell Dickerson, Mitchell Tenpenny, Michael Ray)
Entertainer...a little surprised Keith got in over Thomas or Luke Combs.
Musical Event...OLD TOWN ROAD over Burning Man?!? come on CMA.

Hoping that the album noms indicate that also EOTY will be a 2 horse race between Eric Church and Carrie Underwood.
Very happy to see Carly Pearce in for New Artist even if I think Morgan Wallen has that category in a heartbeat. No comment on "Old Town Road" being nominated for Vocal Event.

Would have been happy for Stapleton to sit out EOTY too.

THANK GOD CARRIE IS NOMINATED FOR EOTY, and Album too - can't wait for the rest of the nominations!
Ughhhhh at Garth... Hoping that hype is over and that they award this to Carrie - it's her year!!!!!! Won't be mad if it's Eric, but definitely think this should be Carrie's to lose.

Entertainer...a little surprised Keith got in over Thomas or Luke Combs. Same, although I guess it makes sense since he...toured and won it last year? IDK. I think Rhett earned it, and while I’m still in the “it’s-too-early-for-Combs” camp, I understand the case that could’ve been made. In any case, it just would’ve been nice to see some extra shake-up in there this year. Musical Event...OLD TOWN ROAD over Burning Man?!? come on CMA. I mean, it *was* the biggest song of the year, across all genres, and look at how cool it is to see an openly gay black man nominated for a CMA! That’s honestly incredible. Win or lose, that’s a huge step in the right direction. It didn't even occur to me when I was thinking about my predictions to include this one, but it makes total sense to me.

I feel like perfect scenario is Eric Church gets Album and Carrie Underwood gets EOTY. That way both fanbases are happy. That's what I am at least hoping for.

Gotta say that, even though I was already prepared for the Kacey snub in EotY, I'm still pretty gutted. You know what? If a man had the same accomplishments she did this year, you BET they would've been nominated for EOTY

It’s not about keeping fanbases happy; they are merit-based awards. By all merits, Carrie Underwood is far and away the Entertainer of the Year.

I was just saying that my perfect scenario is that I want Eric Church to win album of the year and Carrie Underwood for EOTY. The whole fanbase thing was just that in the scenario I presented, I feel like both Eric Church fans and Carrie Underwood fans would be especially satisfied since the general consensus is that both Eric Church and Carrie Underwood have been robbed or snubbed in the past however many years when it comes to winning the award. I didn't mean to say that the awards purpose was to please fanbases.

I want both for Carrie, but they typically do spread awards out. Carrie and Eric are kind of in the same boat, but 2019 has Carrie's name written all over it; and Carrie has NEVER won either EOTY or Album - let's get them both in one shot for her! I believe Eric has won Album multiple times, so "Cry Pretty" for the win!

Barely merit maybe. 😂 plenty of people are nominated with little accomplishments in the time frame.

If Desperate Man wins AOTY then I hope it will get ACM and Grammys, otherwise not much value added to him.
