Gord Bamford and Jason Blaine are also looking at an impressive year, earning six and four nominations, respectively. With so many talented stars facing off against each other, the competition is going to be on fire come the September awards program.

To represent the American contingent of country superstars, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, Eric Church and Pistol Annies will take the stage, too.
