After imfamously going empty-handed earlier this year at the 59th annual Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards after leading the way six nominations, Morgan Wallen will have the opportunity to bring home some hardware this fall, leading in the newly-revealed Country Music Association (CMA) Awards nominations. This morning, the entire CMA Award nominations were revealed, and Wallen received the most nominations with seven separate entries including Entertainer, Single and Song of the Year.
