Which acts were nominated for CMA Awards?
Sheryl Crow and Florida Georgia Line had the happy job of doling out the good news to this year's Country Music Association Awards nominees. It was also streamed live on the CMA website. The announcement, which aired live from Good Morning America in New York City, gives nominees nearly two months to plan their outfits, draft winning speeches and practice their happy faces.
The 47th annual CMA Awards show, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, airs live Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. ET/tape delay PT on ABC.
