Před několika hodinami představili Reba McEntyre a Blake Shelton finální nominace na letošní 45. ročník udílení cen Country Akademie. Nejvíce nominací si odnesla skupina Lady Antebellum, která si vybojovala 7 nominací. Hned za nimi jsou, se šesti nominacemi, Miranda Lambert a Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift si přišla překvapivě na "pouhých" pět nominací.

Předávácí ceremoniál se bude konat 18.dubna v MGM Grand Garden Arena v Las Vegas a stejně jako v předešlých dvou letech budou o nejcennější ceně Entertainer Of The Year rozhodovat fanoušci, hlasovat bude možné na adrese www.voteACM.com.

Cenu Entertainer Of The Year získal v posledních čtyřech letech jediný člověk a byl jím Kenny Chesney, ten je nominován i letos spolu sním je na tuto cenu nominována i Taylor Swift.

Podobně jako v kategorii Entertainer Of The Year mohou fanoušci rozhodovat i o vítězích kategorií objev roku (zpěvačka nebo zpěvák, skupina a duo - Top New Solo Vocalist, Top New Vocal Group a Top New Vocal Duo).

Přehled všech nominovaných zpěváků a songů včetně ukázek vám jako vždy představí Petr Kocman a Jarda Vokurka ve vysílání našeho rádia a zde je přehled všech nominovaných v textové podobě:
