That Nashville Sound's Fearless 2011 CMA Award Predictions


The 45th Annual CMA Awards air live tonight at 8|7c tonight on ABC. Country superstars Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood preside over the evening, returning as hosts for another year. And as usual, the CMA Awards promises spectacle, accolades and countless special moments of non-country music collaborations.

And since I only correctly predicted half out of twelve winners this past year- up from a measly four the year before- I'm back for more punishment. TNS is fearlessly throwing out its predictions for the big awards show to the world- confident in its pyschic ability to give you an early glimpse to all of the winners. (Heck, I can't do worse, can I?)
