Usually, the Entertainer of the Year Award is the THE highlight of the Country Music Association Awards show and this year, it's no exception.  The Associated Press reports that Reba McEntire says the entire industry is all abuzz over who was nominated and who wasn't.  

The nominees are Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert and Zac Brown Band.   Both Miranda and the members of Lady A say the did not vote for themselves because they think their nominations are premature.  Reba, whose new album, "All the Women I Am' was released yesterday, says she feels for veteran acts like Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts because they should have been given the nod.  Read more here.  Kenny Chesney has won the award four times but is okay with not getting a nomination this year because he didn't tour.  The awards are tonight at 8pm, hosted by Carrie and Brad.  We'll have all the results for you Thursday morning!!!
