Nominees for the 2015 CMA Awards were announced on Wednesday morning (Sept. 9), and there was a big surprise among the familiar faces that grab nominations each year. Chris Stapleton grabbed three early nominations, but Little Big Town led the way with six!
Steven Tyler and Kelsea Ballerini announced five categories of nominees during a visit with Good Morning America on Sept. 8. Tyler also performed his debut country single, “Love Is Your Name” before moving to the television show’s website to announce the remainder of the CMA Awards nominations.
Three veterans who had big mornings were Kenny Chesney, Eric Church and Miranda Lambert (five, five and four nods respectively), but the story is the newcomers. In addition to Stapleton’s three, Maddie & Tae, Kacey Musgraves and Sam Hunt all racked up three CMA nominations. Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan scored two each.
The 2015 CMA Awards will take place Nov. 4 in Nashville. The 8PM ET broadcast will air live on ABC.

Miranda Lambert

Old Boots, New Dirt, Jason Aldean
Pageant Material, Kacey Musgraves

Any of them except Sam Hunt - haven't cared for him since his bitterness towards Keith Urban!

Definitely recording this as there will be a lot I won't be interested in that I can fast forward through. Should amount to about 15 minutes viewing time!

Not much to say about the CMA award show this year...
It sure has went downhill since they put up all these barbed wire fences in the name of pure country.
Chris Stapleton won a bunch and is deserving ...but it is also patronizing to grant so many nods to him.
The CMA seems to be saying..."look how cool we are to give awards to a cool hippy looking guy".
What happened to Jamie Johnson and all the other deserving hiphats?
I just coined that term...hopefully it won't catch on...Chris Stapleton is a great songwriter and he should have won...long ago.
But they just can't help but giving the big award to Luke Bryan who even forgot to recognize the only woman nominee...
Miranda...he mentioned all the others but forgot her? Maybe but they seem to all be so self absorbed.
If the youngsters can't handle country music I think that the elders need to take it back.
Do we not have enough talent in country music to fill in the blanks...sure we do...
we should quit pandering to other genres and support more folks of color who play country music.
In the 60's and 70's we had all sorts of folks who were different yet the same...
not the same of the same only accepting the same.
Song title: The same of the same of the same!
