The CMA Awards air tonight on ABC. Here is a list of the nominees, along with my picks for each award (in italics and bold, quite like most of my predictions)...

Two awards were announced on ABC this morning during Good Morning America. Keith Urban & Miranda Lambert's colaboration on "We Were Us" won the award for Musical Event of the Year edging Tim & Faith's "Meanwhile, Back At Mama's" and Dierks Bentley will be taking home the trophy for Best Music Video for "Drunk On A Plane."

    Eli Young Band
