The CMA Award nominees have been revealed—did your favorites make the cut for 2016?
With a little more than a month to the Country Music Association Awards' big November night, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban and Cam took the Good Morning America stage Wednesday to deliver the happy news to a handful of music's most prominent names.
Among the list's top nominees this year are "Tennessee Whiskey" singer Chris Stapleton, two-time winner Eric Church and country newcomer Maren Morris, whom have all tied for the top spot with five nominations a piece.
In second place, former winners Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley and Keith Urban are once again in the running for the coveted accolade with four nominations each. Underwood will be pulling double duty as nominee and host alongside Brad Paisley for the ninth consecutive year.
Notably, Luke Bryan, who is nominated twice this year, has been up for Entertainer of the Year since 2013 and was named the winner in 2014 and 2015. Will this third time be yet another charm for the 40-year-old "Home Alone Tonight" star? We'll all just have to tune into ABC on November 2 to find out.
