Would love to see Cody or Ashley win New Artist but it will go to Midland more than likely which is fine with me as well.

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. I think Carly has an honest shot. Carly is the best meld of traditional country and currently of the nominees to me (Morgan probably fits here too).

If Desperate Man wins AOTY then I hope it will get ACM and Grammys, otherwise not much value added to him.
After the Mr. Misunderstood snub, the Grammys are really in debt to him...

Rooting for anyone but Carrie in the AOTY category. Cry Pretty is IMO the worst album Carrie has recorded. I love all her other albums, so CP was a huge disappointment when I listened to it.

I think Carly has an honest shot. Carly is the best meld of traditional country and currently of the nominees to me (Morgan probably fits here too). The problem with Carly Pearce is that I feel like if it goes to a female they would opt for Ashley McBryde, go for traditional country they would go for Midland, and if they go with someone who sounds modern it would be Morgan Wallen. Add in Morgan Wallen hype and momentum right now ("Whiskey Glasses" being one of the biggest country hits of the year maybe even the biggest besides maybe "God's Country", "Old Town Road", and "Beautiful Crazy", the Diplo collaboration, a pretty successful tour, solid album sales still). I think Morgan Wallen has it easily. Right now for New Artist in terms of likelihood to win, I think I would have it be. 1. Morgan Wallen 2. Midland 3. Ashley McBryde 4. Carly Pearce 5. Cody Johnson

Thrilled for Kacey’s three noms! “Rainbow” deserves. And all of the “GIRL” Love is great to see.
“Tequila” feels 5,000 years old.

Kind of surprised (but not really) for the lack of Carrie love in Song/Single/Video, but overall pretty strong and predictable nominees.
FVOTY is back to normal, lol. Although there were like three women above Miranda who I would have rather seen... Didn't expect anything different, though.
Looking forward to the show!

I can't at them nominating Tequila AGAIN... 2 years in a row! Yawn
It's not like Dan + Shay only have that song as a viable nominee

Thrilled with the Maren love and thrilled Carrie got into into Entertainer! I think the nominees are great, overall, and I don't think Carrie deserved Single Song or Video for any of her singles...but she definitely deserved FV, EOTY. and Album love!
Entertainer of the Year Garth Brooks Eric Church -- his time has come, IMO Chris Stapleton Carrie Underwood Keith Urban
Album Of The Year Center Point Road - Thomas Rhett Cry Pretty - Carrie Underwood Dan + Shay - Dan + Shay Desperate Man - Eric Church GIRL - Maren Morris -- I think Maren wins here
New Artist of the Year Cody Johnson Ashley McBryde Midland Carly Pearce Morgan Wallen -- I think he is the favorite
Musical Event of the Year “All My Favorite People” - Maren Morris (feat. Brothers Osborne) “Brand New Man” - Brooks & Dunn (with Luke Combs) “Dive Bar” - Garth Brooks & Blake Shelton “Old Town Road (Remix)” - Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus - I think they will award this one “What Happens In A Small Town” - Brantley Gilbert & Lindsay Ell
Single of the Year “Burning Man” - Dierks Bentley Feat. Brothers Osborne “GIRL” - Maren Morris “God's Country” - Blake Shelton -- This will probably win “Millionaire” - Chris Stapleton “Speechless” - Dan + Shay
Song of the Year “Beautiful Crazy” - Luke Combs, Wyatt B. Durrette III, Robert Williford -- I think this will win “GIRL” - Maren Morris, Sarah Aarons, Greg Kurstin “God's Country” - Devin Dawson, Jordan Schmidt, Michael Hardy “Rainbow” - Natalie Hemby, Shane McAnally, Kacey Musgrave “Tequila” - Dan Smyers, Nicolle Galyon, Jordan Reynolds
Male Vocalist of the Year Dierks Bentley Luke Combs Thomas Rhett -- I see Thomas winning here Chris Stapleton Keith Urban
Female Vocalist of the Year Kelsea Ballerini Miranda Lambert Maren Morris Kacey Musgraves Carrie Underwood - I think she has it with the Entertainer nom
Vocal Group of the Year Lady Antebellum Little Big Town Midland Old Dominion -- this should be theirs to lose Zac Brown Band
Vocal Duo of the Year Brooks & Dunn Brothers Osborne Dan + Shay -- 100% chance of winning Florida Georgia Line Maddie & Tae
Music Video of the Year “Burning Man” - Dierks Bentley Feat. Brothers Osborne -- I think this will win? “GIRL” - Maren Morris “God's Country” - Blake Shelton “Rainbow” - Kacey Musgraves “Some Of It” - Eric Church

I can't believe there still isn't a rule excluding songs that were released two+ calendar years before. However, "Tequila" was and still is pretty massive, and I'm certainly here for the Dan+Shay love, they're fantastic! Hoping they take Vocal Duo, they absolutely should!

Besides name recognition and releasing "The Daughters" which did not do much of anything did Little Big Town do anything else this year? I didn't realize how sparse Vocal Group is because neither Zac Brown Band or Little Big Town did much this year it felt like.
Well regardless Vocal Group will go to Old Dominion and I imagine Vocal Duo will go to Dan + Shay so not too big of a deal even if country music and radio needs to get their crap together and get more vocal groups and duos into the fray.
For female vocalist I feel like it is an absolute 2 horse race between Maren Morris and Carrie Underwood with Kacey Musgraves as a dark horse. I think Kelsea Ballerini has no shot at Female Vocalist as she had a decent year but was not as out there as Maren Morris and Carrie Underwood were. Miranda Lambert didn't release practically anything solo material wise so I do not see Miranda Lambert winning either.
Solid but expected noms. Not shocked, but a little sad Runaway June couldn't get in either Vocal Group or New Artist.

They should nominate less people if they’re just going to fill categories with people who barely did anything. I.e. Miranda and LBT

Here's my initial thinking. Might change once official predictions come out, but this is more or less who I want/think should win.
*Will Might/Could
Entertainer of the Year Garth Brooks Eric Church Chris Stapleton *Carrie Underwood Keith Urban
… I will legitimately be upset if Carrie doesn't win here. Can't lie about that one, I'm still bitter about 2016, and being a female in her upper 30s doesn't bode well for her chances moving forward. She has a growing family and will inevitably slow down, at least I think . Both Carrie and Eric are overdue here, but I really think in just about everything Carrie edges Eric out; especially when it comes to overall ambassadorship of the genre. Considering the theme of the night, I really think this is Carrie's to lose. Praying I'm right - I'll probably cry if I'm not!
Album Of The Year Center Point Road - Thomas Rhett *Cry Pretty - Carrie Underwood Dan + Shay - Dan + Shay Desperate Man - Eric Church GIRL - Maren Morris
… This one I may switch Eric and Carrie - not really that confident that Carrie wins here, but in my perfect world she wins this one, too.
New Artist of the Year Cody Johnson *Ashley McBryde Midland Carly Pearce Morgan Wallen
Musical Event of the Year *“All My Favorite People” - Maren Morris (feat. Brothers Osborne) “Brand New Man” - Brooks & Dunn (with Luke Combs) “Dive Bar” - Garth Brooks & Blake Shelton “Old Town Road (Remix)” - Lil Nas X feat.

Single of the Year “Burning Man” - Dierks Bentley Feat. Brothers Osborne “GIRL” - Maren Morris *“God's Country” - Blake Shelton “Millionaire” - Chris Stapleton “Speechless” - Dan + Shay

Male Vocalist of the Year Dierks Bentley *Luke Combs Thomas Rhett Chris Stapleton Keith Urban

Rooting for Dan + Shay plus Carrie for EOTY. Would also like a Cody Johnson or Morgan Wallen win for Best New Artist.
Useless category, but I don't care for any of those videos.

Pretty solid nominees all around. Glad to see Carrie Underwood in EOTY. I hope she can take that one home. For Album though, I'm definitely rooting for Maren Morris. If Carrie was going to win that award, it should've been with something like Storyteller, because Cry Pretty is just not her best work at all imo. GIRL is fantastic though it wouldn't surprise me to see Eric Church take home another one of those. Would also love to see one of the new girls win Female Vocalist over another win for Miranda or Carrie.
Rooting for Maren to win something for her single "Girl" as well. It'd be awesome if she won Single and then Kacey could take home Song with "Rainbow." I'd love for Luke Combs to win Male Vocalist, too. I think it's between him and Thomas Rhett probably for the crown there, but I vastly prefer Combs.
Stoked that we got a woman nominated for Musician for the first-time ever. The fact that it's never happened before in over 50 years, just... wow.

I just realized Interstate Gospel and The Pistol Annie's as a whole got snubbed. Such a shame that they get no commercial success and no award show recognition. It is FAR superior to any other album released this year. If Miranda released it as her own album, it'd be a lock for album of the year. Ugh.

"Burning Man" was nominated last year in the Event Category and lost to Kenny Chesney and David Lee Murphy's "Everything's Gonna Be Alright". Since it was nominated last year, it was ineligible for the category this year (pretty sure without digging into my copy of the voting rules).

Tequila is nominated for Song of the Year for a second year in a row (they lost to 'Broken Halos' last year). CMA rules make no sense

"Interstate Gospel" album to me was not as good as the quality of There first album. I dont think they deserved any nominations.

I like these nominations. I'm glad Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan weren't nominated, because there music didn't do anything for me in that time frame. the only one i'm surprised wasn't nominated was Kane.
