This morning Julianne Hough, LeAnn Rimes, Kelli Pickler, and Jessica Simpson read off the list of nominations on a special press conference in Nashville. Brad Paisley received the highest count at 6, followed close behind (by surprise) former Trick Pony singer, Heidi Newfield. Other high-riding nominees include Jamey Johnson, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood and more!
