Winners

NASHVILLE – Wake up and
then celebrate into the night with two of the top nominated artists for the 2014
CMA Awards when Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban
appear on ABC News’ “Good Morning America” Wednesday, Nov. 5 (7:00-9:00 AM/ET). Urban will perform live
for the “Good Morning America” audience and then fans can tune in that same
night for Lambert and Urban’s performances on “The 48th Annual
CMA Awards,” (8:00-11:00 PM/ET), live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville
on the ABC Television Network.
Urban is performing live and Lambert is stopping by the Nashville
“Good Morning America” stage joining chief meteorologist Ginger
Zee and “GMA” contributor Tim
Tebow, who will be reporting live from Nashville. In addition to hosting
duties on the CMA Awards Red Carpet, Tebow, an ESPN and SEC Network Analyst, will
be presenting an Award during Country Music’s Biggest Night™.
“What a great way to kick start
the biggest night of the year for Country Music, by having two of our top nominees
jump-start the day on ‘Good Morning America,’” said Sarah Trahern,
CMA Chief Executive Officer.
Urban collected four nominations in 2014 including Entertainer
of the Year, which he won in 2005; Male Vocalist, which he has won three times
(2004-2006); Album for Fuse, which was produced by Benny Blanco, Nathan
Chapman, Ross Copperman, Zach Crowell, Mike Elizondo, Dann Huff, Jay Joyce, Stargate,
Butch Walker, and Urban (Urban only receives one nomination for the category,
but can receive a second trophy as producer); and Musical Event with Lambert for “We Were Us.”
The 2014 CMA Awards top
nominee, Lambert’s nominations include Entertainer (she received her first nomination
in this category in 2010); Female Vocalist; Album for Platinum, which
was produced by Frank Liddell, Chuck Ainlay, and Glenn Worf; two nominations for
Musical Event for “Somethin’ Bad” with Carrie Underwood and “We Were Us”
with Urban; and two nominations for Music Video of the Year for “Automatic”
and “Somethin’ Bad” with Underwood, which were both directed by Trey Fanjoy.
In addition, “Automatic” picked up nominations for Single (produced by Liddell,
Ainlay, and Worf) and Song of the Year for songwriters Nicolle Galyon, Natalie
Hemby, and Lambert. This brings Lambert’s career CMA Awards nominations to 34.
Reba holds the record for female artist nominations with 49, followed by Dolly
Parton (44), and Loretta Lynn (39), which places Lambert fourth on the list.
In addition, winners in
two CMA Awards categories – CMA Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of
the Year – will be announced on “Good Morning America” and officiated by
representatives from the international accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
The “Good Morning America”
performance and announcement will take place on the plaza of the Bridgestone Arena,
site of “The 48th Annual CMA Awards.” The event is part of the
countdown to the CMA Awards and is free and open to the public on the corner of Broadway and Fifth Avenue.
Brad Paisley
and Underwood return for the seventh time to host the CMA Awards live from Nashville

PM/ET) on the ABC Television Network.
