CMA Awards 2015 Nominees: A Nominations Refresher List Before The Nov. 4 Show

Get ready for a foot-tapping night! On Wednesday, your favorite country stars will gather together for the 49th annual County Music Association Awards (CMA), which will be hosted by country superstars Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood for the eighth consecutive time.

“After a few years of doing this now, Carrie and I have a really good routine and a really good system, I think,” the “Whiskey Lullaby” crooner told Us Weekly. “Both of us makes the other funnier. She definitely makes me funnier!” And according to Paisley, he already has a few jokes tucked safely away under his cowboy hat. The singer dished to E! Online that he has a few cracks he wants to make about Justin Timberlake, who will be attending the 2015 ceremony.

“How can I not pick him? I have to pick on him,” Underwood’s longtime CMA co-host said. “He’s a great guy so if anybody can take it too, we always look for people who are going to laugh.”

In addition to making the audience laugh, the twosome will also be tasked with unveiling the winners of the 2015 CMA awards. Check out the list of nominees for the 49th annual ceremony below:
