It’s here…the night that country fans and artists anxiously await each year…the night of the CMA Awards.
Hosted for the eleventh year by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, this year’s ceremony is sure to be unforgettable. Dreams will come true, and career-defining moments will take place.
The nominees for the 2018 CMA Awards were announced by Luke Bryan, Sugarland, and Dan + Shay during an appearance on Good Morning America in August.
All three also earned nominations, which surely came as a surprise to them!
But Chris Stapleton leads the pack, raking in an impressive total of seven nominations.
Other well-nominated artists include Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, and Thomas Rhett, all with four nods each.
Now it’s time for you to find out if all of those nominations led to some big wins for those artists.
You can find a full list of CMA Award categories, nominees, and winners below. The list will be updated throughout the ceremony as more winners are announced, so be sure to keep checking back.
