The 52nd annual CMA Awards ,hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, will air live from Nashville on ABC on November 14th.

But who was snubbed?

Well Luke Bryan is up for Entertainer of the Year BUT misses out on the Male Vocalist category once again. This is an award he really wants to take home someday.

Also missing from the Male Vocalist category is Chris Young, who has been on a roll with hit singles and a headlining tour.

Not a single nod for Kane Brown?! He had something to say about it too!  He tweeted “I’m a little salty this morning @CountryMusic” But later deleted the tweet

Scotty McCreery had a #1 hit with “5 More Minutes” but no love from the CMAs

Fan-favorite Dustin Lynch was just invited to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry and has 5 consecutive No. 1 songs under his belt. He’s also missing — what gives?

Kacey Musgraves for Female Vocalist of the Year? She hasn’t had a hit in years. That spot should have gone to Lauren Alaina, who has had a great year.

And Carly Pearce, Russell Dickerson and Morgan Evans will have to wait until next year to find their spot on the nominees list.

Who do you think was snubbed?
