NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- George Strait led the nominees announced Monday for the Academy of Country Music Awards with eight nominations, including entertainer of the year and top male vocalist.
Vocal duo Brooks & Dunn got seven nominations and Rascal Flatts had six. The announcement was made at the Country Music Hall of Fame and aired live on CBS' "The Early Show."

Maybe because they are pop rather than country?
Maybe because they suck.
Hey natalie, I believe it was Nelson from the Simpson's who said:
"AH-HAH"!
Don't care who does or who does not get these awards. The whole lot of them: grammy's, emmy's, whatever the hell y's - nothing but a bunch of self-indulged crap. If you like their music or acting, buy the stuff or go see the stuff. Don't need to wear some stupid dress or shirt with soft shoes all the while walking on some stupid carpet and acting like utter idiots in front of millions of other idiots.
I haven't listened to them in a long while, but I think they classify themselves as "country" musicians. Which makes this even more delicious. ;)
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha...the end.....
With that...a mighty message has been sent out from Nashville. Pretenders can win a Grammy easily...but if you can't even get a nomination...then you aren't country...which is what Nashville has quietly been hinting for several years. The Chicks likely expected this and will issue out a harsh message to Nashville and the media crowd there...but it'll be page 3 news in the Nashville paper.
And for the Grammy crowd who voted them country record of the year...perhaps a wasted effort? But then Grammy voters wouldn't want to admit that they voted for the wrong reasons.
socialists give propaganda awards like the oscar, grammy and nobel to further left-wing causes
there is absolutely no credibility to them
Yeah, but that goes without saying:-)
Excellent!
What's wrong with self-indulged crap?
Maybe it's because they "had" to go pop to sell any records.
The conservative country music fans threw them under the bus.
Rightfully. We folks don't condone slamming our President, especially while in a foreign country.
The Left will counter by giving them the Nobel Peace Prize.
Was Al Gore get any nominations?
Yes - for inventing Country Music.
There is some background as to why she said "Heh Heh" at the Grammy's. I have gone around for months putting Homers "DOH" at the end of my posts on various blogs about them. It was in response to that.
