The nominations for the 2012 CMT Music Awards were announced this morning and it's safe to say the ladies are showing those fellas who's boss. Country cutie and perpetual crossover fave Carrie Underwood led the way, scoring a leading five nominations, including Video and Performance of the Year, closely followed by Miranda Lambert, who nabbed four nods for both her solo and group work.Not to be outdone by his missus, country bad boy and Voice judge Blake Shelton earned himself three nominations for the music net's awards, joined in his triple-crowning by the genre's usual suspects—this time around, Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Thompson Square and The Civil Wars.
Underwood, the frontrunner nominee, managed to nab two spots on the Video of the Year list, both for "Good Girl" and "Remind Me," her collaboration with Brad Paisley. Her Paisley duet also earned her a nod for Collaborative Video of the Year, while "Good Girl" scored her a Female Video of the Year nod. She's also up for Performance of the Year thanks to her "Just a Dream/Dream On" collaboration with Steven Tyler on their CMT Crossroads special.
