CMA Awards 2010

The Country Music Awards 2010 are coming up — are you as excited for the CMAs as I am? Last year’s hosts, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood,  are back. They were (surprisingly) really funny last year which was a bonus. So set your TIVOS for November 10 on ABC at 8 pm Eastern/7:00 pm Central. Last year’s Entertainer of the Year winner Taylor Swift is not up again for the coveted and most sought after award but she is nominated for Best Female Vocalist.

Those in the running for Entertainer of the Year are: Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, The Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. I’m partial to Urban since I saw him in concert this year with The Eagles and it was life-changing. No, I’m not exaggerating.

The host of the event Brad Paisley who will be helped by Carrie Underwood appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman this evening to talk about the upcoming event.

Paisley who will be hosting the show for the third time is up for several awards but all eyes will be on Miranda Lambert who has not one, not two but nine nominations, including Female Vocalist of the Year.

The 44th Annual CMA Awards will be full of surprises thanks to a performance by Gwyneth Paltrow.
Yes, you heard correctly the Oscar-winning actress will be performing the theme song of her new movie ‘Strong Country,” with Vince Gill.

The film will open in Los Angeles and Nashville on December 22nd and will hit theaters in the the rest of country on January 7th . The soundtrack goes on sale Oct. 26.

Other artists that will be taking the stage at the CMA include Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Reba McEntire, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban. Zac Brown Band and Alan Jackson will be performing together, and Miranda Lambert and Sheryl Crow are set to sing a duet in honor of Loretta Lynn who is celebrating 50 years in the music industry.

Make sure you catch the ceremony that will air live from the Nashville Arena Bridgestone on November 10th on ABC.
