2010 CMA Awards Nominees

Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum lead the initial list of 2010 CMA Awards nominees. A partial list of nominations was read Tuesday morning during a press conference at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Chris Young and Justin Moore were on hand to read the names in seven CMA categories: New Artist, Vocal Duo, Vocal Group, Musician, Single, Song and Music Video of the Year.

Miranda is the leader of the nominee pack so far with five nods, competing against herself for Single and Video of the Year, as both 'The House That Built Me' and 'White Liar' are nominated in those two categories. Lady A trail with four nominations, three of them for their huge crossover smash, 'Need You Now.' See the full list of nominees in the seven categories announced Tuesday below. The remaining categories -- including Entertainer, Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist, Album and Musical Event of the Year -- will be announced tomorrow (September 1) on ABC's 'Good Morning America.'

The 44th Annual Country Music Association Awards will air live from Nashville on November 10. Brad Paisley (a nominee for his 'Water' video) and Carrie Underwood (a shoo-in for a Female Vocalist nod) will co-host the show for the third year in a row.
