We're just hours away from the 56th Annual CMA Awards -- and a few winners have already been announced.
The winners of this year's big awards show were determined in a final round of voting by eligible voting Country Music Association members in early October.
Luke Bryan -- a two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year winner himself -- and NFL star Peyton Manning are hosting the star-studded affair, which will also feature a slew of performances.
Country music’s biggest night broadcasts live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
