2010 CMA Award Nominees to Be Announced in Dual Ceremonies

Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Chris Young, Justin Moore and Steel Magnolia all have the coveted honor of ripping open those envelopes that reveal which stars have a shot at one of country music's most prestigious honors, as they've been tapped to announce nominees for the 44th Annual Country Music Association Awards.

Dierks and Miranda will announce the final nominees in five CMA Awards categories live on ABC's 'Good Morning America.' The announcement will air in the 8:30 AM ET half-hour segment of the morning news program, which is filmed in the heart of New York City's Times Square.

The day prior to Dierks and Miranda's big announcement, Chris Young and Justin Moore will reveal the finalists in seven CMA Awards categories during a press conference held at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium.

That same day (August 31), new country duo Steel Magnolia will also have a hand in announcing the highly-anticipated CMA Award nominees. Steel Magnolia's Joshua Scott Jones and Meghan Linsey will name the finalists for the 2010 CMA Broadcast Award Personality and Radio Station of the Year, as well as for the category of the CMA National Broadcast Personality.

The 44th Annual CMA Awards will be broadcast live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on November 10 at 8:00 PM ET on ABC.
