2018 CMA Awards nominations: See the full list

The CMA Awards are less three months away and to celebrate “Good Morning America” enlisted the help of some of the biggest stars in Nashville to announce the full list of nominees.

Country music superstar Luke Bryan started things off by announcing the nominees for two of the biggest categories including entertainer of the year, which he won in 2014 and 2015. He said it was “so rewarding” to be nominated again this year.

“You get to share it with obviously your fans, but, you know, all the people out on the road that make the shows happen,” Bryan said. “By the time I get on stage, so much work has been done, so much preparation and you look at your bus drivers, your truck driver, band members and I’m just — kind of the guy out there in the spotlight that gets to have fun and sing for a living.”

He added, “When you get recognized by a nomination it’s — it makes it all worthwhile and that’s what you want.”
